MAKING LATIN AMERICAN POPULAR. DESPACITO...FUTBOL...TELENOVELAS. All are forms of Latin American popular culture that are increasingly part of our everyday reality here in the U.S. All are also inseparable from stories of inequality, ethnic tensions and celebrations, understandings of gender relations, and notions of hope that blend ideas of nation with cultural consumption. While popular culture in Latin America is often considered a contemporary phenomenon, linked to the twentieth century and the mass production of cultural goods, it has deeper roots. We can trace these back to the nineteenth century, where people, cultural processes, and phenomena literally began making Latin America popular. This course will survey the emergence and variety of modern popular culture in Latin America, from the 1800s to the present. Readings may include best sellers, gaucho poetry, stories of urban life and folk heroes, and texts from the late twentieth-century engaging themes from dictatorship to the Latinx experience. We will also learn about the intersections between race, nation, and music, explore the emotional and political power of fútbol, and delve into the appeal of telenovelas across socioeconomic divides. Historical and anthropological essays will also guide us throughout the semester.

LATIN AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY CINEMA: TRANSNATIONALISM, NEOLIBRALISM, RESISTANCE. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Latin American cinema has experienced a boom, directors like the Mexican "three amigos" (Del Toro, Cuarón and Iñárritu), films like Brazilian City of God and Argentine The Secret in her Eyes, and phenomena like the Cuban zombie film "Juan of the Dead" have relocated Latin America in the map of world cinema. However, what is lost in this discussion is how Latin Americans perceive their own cinema and how the transnational Latin American cinema rests on film practices that usually are not seen. This class will present Latin American cinema as understood by contemporary Latin American spectators. The class will focus on three axes: neoliberal commercial cinema, including genres like romantic comedies, representative of what Latin Americans actually watch in cinema; transnational cinema, focused on those films that are seen internationally, and cinema of resistance, both in terms of aesthetics and of politics, regarding those Latin American filmmakers working to create a cinema beyond commercialism.

THE ORIGINS OF THE SPANISH INQUISITION: HISTORY, LITERATURE, ART. We will explore the conditions that led to the establishment of the Inquisition in 1480, its practices, and its repercussions in Spain, the myths it fostered, and its manifestations in historical and fictional writings, as well as in art. Students will have the opportunity to study its legal aspects, the use of torture, spying, and other methods to insure orthodoxy in the emerging Spanish population after the Reconquest, as well as to learn how the Spanish Inquisition was viewed elsewhere, especially in France and England. We will touch on the tribunals established in the New World, and their impact on the blending of cultures in Mexico, Peru, Colombia and others. We will study historians such as Kamen, Peters, Caro Baoja, Alfonso Toro; excerpts of Cervantes, Quevedo and Lope de Vega; the debates on the Inquisition during the Cortes in 1810, the paintings of Goya. We will view the recent film, "Ghosts of Goya", and discuss how XIX century historians split over the analysis of the Inquisition. In the XXth century, writers such as Francisco Ayala, Ana Maria Matute, Carmen Martin Gayte, Carme Riera and others combined their interest in the historical Inquisition with moral and suggestive creations linking that phenomenon to the Spanish Civil War, and to the emerging freedom of women. We will examine the iconography dealing with the Inquisition and, more recently, the paintings of Manolo Millares, Botero. The Museum of the Inquisition in Lima, in Mexico City, the prison in Cuenca will give us the opportunity to comment on prisons from Cesare Beccaria and Voltaire's condemnations of torture in various modes to our own days. Students will have the opportunity in their papers to compare the Inquisition to other related subjects, law, torture, art architecture, photography, art, music, especially in Latin America and elsewhere.

ROGUE LIVES IN EARLY MODERN HISPANIC CULTURE. This major seminar will study famous narrative "lives" of early modern Spanish and Spanish American characters of humble origins who navigate their way from the known to the unknown, through the ranks of society and a map of global possibilities, trying ingeniously to beat the odds against them by refashioning their original identities to profit in new contexts. Generally recognized as examples of the picaresque, these narrative accounts of wily tricksters nevertheless question very real dynamics of change in the socio-economic and political structures that made daily life a challenge for many acrosss the Spanish empire, through accounts that are both darkly humorous and deeply cynical about Spain's global ambitions. We will focus on performances of social identity that deploy verbal wit and acts of deception to negotiate gender, race and class, in contexts troubled by censorship, poverty, urbanization, loss of family, migration, and spectacular punishmnet for crimes of subsistence. Works to include the anonymous Lazarillo de Tormes and short novels and novellas by Quevedo, Siguenza y Góngora, Cervantes, Zayas and others. This is a writing-intensive course, which requires a minimum of 3 papers of approx. 4-5pp. length, with rewrites; 50% of the grade must come from written work. In Spanish.

THE POLITICS OF BORGES. From philosophy to quantum mechanics to pop culture, the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges's work has exerted an immeasurable influence on 20th and 21st century thought. While he claimed to be apolitical, his work and public persona attracted and continues to provoke political firestorms that serve as a history of politics in 20th century Argentina as well as contemporary issues such as mashups and copyright, literature and society, and the politics of technology. In this course, we will first study Borges's work and then use literary, cultural and political reactions to it as a way to understand Peronism and Dictatorship in Argentina; the right and the left in Latin America; literature, copyright and the law; technology and culture in the age of the Internet. We will also read works by Julio Cortázar, Mariana Enríquez, Agustín Mallo, Pablo Katchadjian, and Álvaro Bisama among others.

The course, taught in English, provides a critical survey of various components involved in the relationship between linguistics and language learning. The course emphasizes the language learner and explores dimensions of second language acquisition. The course begins with an examination of linguistic theories and then highlights the influence of linguistic theories on L2 acquisition research. The course then moves to an exploration of research on language and the brain. With this foundation, the course covers both internal and external factors related to language acquisition, such as language aptitude, age, gender, memory, prior knowledge, etc. In summary, theoretical and research dimensions of both linguistics and language learning are treated. This course counts as a requirement for the Graduate Certificate in Language Instruction and for the Undergraduate Minor in Applied Linguistics. Prereq: Ling 170 is recommended but not required.

Poetics and Politics in Democratic Spain

L38 Span 532

This course examines the various political implications of some of the most influential poetic movements during the last 40 years taking place in Spain. The course combines close readings of the work of key poets of the period, with the critical analysis of their respective poetics in relation to the politics of the "Transition" period, and the ensuing democratic period after Franco's totalitarian regime. Throughout the course, we will examine various historical, political, and social events determining the poetic and cultural production of the period such as the politics of memory, gender inequality, exile, and migration. We will also focus on the tensions between various Iberian national identities, the impact of key Latin American poets in exile during the 1970s, as well as the more recent 15-M movement and the economic crisis in the early 21st century. Some of the poets that we will study (originating from various regions of Spain, Latin America and Equatorial Guinea) include Jaime Gil de Biedma, Gloria Fuertes (1960s); Jose Ángel Valente Leopoldo María Panero, Juan Gelman, Mario Benedetti, Raquel Ilombe, Cristina Peri Rossi (in the 1970s); Ana Rossetti, Luis García Montero, Joaquin Sabina (1980 and 90s); Kirmen Uribe, Agustín Fernández Mallo, Chantal Maillard, Ana Merino, Víctor Rodríguez Núñez, and Carla Badillo Coronado (2000s). We will also read critical essays by Hannah Arendt, María Zambrano, Cristina Moreiras, Jo Labanyi, Antonio Méndez Rubio, Guillem Martínez, Germán Labrador Méndez, José Ignacio Padilla, and Belén Gopegui, among other writers, and scholars in the field. Offered in Spanish, for graduate students only. Requirements: In-class participation, individual presentations, weekly online responses, and final research paper.

Women Writers of Spain from the Enlightenment to the Contemporary Period

L38 Span 549

This course will examine various genres of writing by Spanish women--including narrative fiction, poetry, and the essay--from the eighteenth century to the contemporary period, paying attention to their role in engendering social and cultural transformations for women. We will approach their work, considering not only the challenges faced by women who took up the pen in different historical periods, but also the strategies they used to negotiate their participation in the public sphere as writers, intellectuals, social reformers and feminists. Authors to be studied include Enlightenment figures such as Josefa Amar y Borbón and María Rosa Gálvez; Romantic writers (Coronado, Gómez de Avellaneda), who, under the impact of liberalism, were key to shaping new models of subjectivity for women; nineteenth-century feminists and social reformers of the late nineteenth-century (Arenal, Pardo Bazán, Gimeno de Flaquer); early twentieth-century suffragists and freethinkers (Carmen de Burgos, Rosario de Acuña); and women writing during and in the aftermath of Franco's dictatorship (Rodoreda, Martín Gaite, Riera). We will explore the unique perspectives that these women bring to their writing as they address pressing social, political, and cultural issues-including universal suffrage, citizenship, slavery, nationalism, and women's (and human) rights.

Myths Icons, & Fallen Idols: (Re)scripting the Haitian, Mexican, & Cuban Revolutions in Literature

L38 Span 575

In this seminar we will study the watershed moments in Caribbean and Latin America history, such as the Haitian, Mexican, Cuban, and Nicaraguan revolutions, through the lens of aesthetically and ideologically complex "re-scriptings" of these events in works of literature, film, visual arts, and testimonial accounts. We will explore possible correlations between aesthetic "revolutions" and political upheavals as well as the violent mechanisms behind the (re)fashioning of historical figures into myths, icons, and fallen idols. Furthermore, reflecting on issues of class, ethnicity, gender and national/regional identities will allow us to gain a more nuanced and deeply contextualized understanding of divergent voices emerging from spaces as diverse as Haiti, Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua. The primary corpus will consist of the writings by Mariano Azuela, Nellie Campobello, Elena Poniatowska, Sabina Berman, Alejo Carpentier, Jorge Edwards, Antonio Benítez Rojo, Wendy Guerra, Nancy Morejón, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Heberto Padilla, Julio Cortázar, and Gioconda Belli, among others. The critical, theoretical, and documentary bibliography will include, but will not be limited to, excerpts from writings by Olympe du Gouges, C.L.R. James, Lizbeth Paravisini Gebert, Michel Rolph Trouillot, Hannah Arendt, Michael Taussig, James C. Scott, Enrique Krauze, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Roberto Fernández Retamar, Roberto Zurbano, Rigoberta Menchú, Margaret Randall, and Zygmunt Bauman.
