Desc:Podcast and other stories: from oral traditions to Radio Ambulante: This class centers on podcasts in Spanish as a news source, a form of entertainment, and as an art form that follows specific conventions. In addition to listening and working with a variety of podcasts in Spanish, students will acquire a skill set that will enable them to create an original podcast episode in Spanish. Students will refine their oral proficiency, hone their research skills, acquire a more profound understanding of current events (and the historic circumstances that led to them) in the Spanish-speaking world, and experiment with different narrative strategies. Certain grammar points will be reviewed based on reading and listening assignments and on issues discussed in class. For their final project students will collaborate on the production of an original podcast episode, which will require substantial research and work with primary and secondary sources in Spanish. The course will begin with a more individual approach to oral narratives and then, week by week, students will build up their vocabulary, their confidence speaking Spanish in public, and skills that range from low- to more high-tech storytelling techniques. We will begin the semester listening and telling stories about identity, family, and belonging, and then move to other topics, focusing specifically (yet not extensively) on three areas: the politics of memory, public health, and immigration. We will discuss different podcasts and related readings each week, and each section of the course concludes with a short oral presentation. Grades will be based on participation, oral presentations, writing assignments, occasional quizzes, and the final project.

Desc:Workshop in Literary Translation: In this workshop we will examine and practice the craft and art of translation from Spanish to English as both technical skill and creative endeavor. Students will learn about the different ways that translation has been theorized and critiqued as well as its intersections with issues such as race, gender, and sexuality. We will discuss important issues such as who translates, the global market for translation as well as consider its importance as an artefact of cultural transfer beyond the linguistic. Alongside the discussion of readings on these topics, we will translate a variety of literary and non-literary texts together as a group and discuss the problems and challenges we encounter. Students will also develop their own translation project throughout the semester which they will workshop with the group. Class conducted in Spanish with readings in English and Spanish.

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.
