Desc:SOR JUANA INES DE LA CRUZ: GENDER, KNOWLEDGE, AND POWER IN COLONIAL MEXICO. This course will explore the life and writings of the Mexican poet, intellectual, and cloistered nun, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695). We will study her poetry, her dramatic works as well as her autobiographical writings. Special emphasis will be given to the cultural, literary and historical moment in which Sor Juana wrote, specifically as it pertained to her role as a woman writer in a masculine world. We will examine seventeenth-century Mexican convent culture and its role within the Church hierarchy, using it as a backdrop from which to study Sor Juana's polemical relationship with the ecclesiastical authorities. Also studied will be the viceregal society of which Sor Juana, although a cloistered nun, was an active part. We will also examine contemporary representations of Sor Juana in film, novel, poetry and other cultural manifestations.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
