Desc:CULTURES OF MIGRATION. In this course we will explore different forms of cultural production (literature, visual culture, mass media, popular music, testimonial narratives, oral histories) that depict the way in which migration shapes and transforms cultural practices in the Spanish-speaking world. We will also discuss a series of theoretical readings that discuss immigration in Europe, Latin America, and the US, and explore questions pertaining to border-crossing, displacement, and exile in different historical periods and in diverse geographical contexts. The course will simultaneously provide analytical and methodological tools in order to analyze cultural production.

Desc:THE OTHER SPAINS. In this course, we will study a selection of contemporary written and visual representations of three crucial periods of Spain's history, when there have been the most significant differences and disagreements among its inhabitants in terms of religion, politics, culture and moral values: The medieval times, when the Muslim, Christian and the Jewish people lived together in the Iberian Peninsula; the nineteenth century, with its political disagreements between liberals and conservatives; and the twentieth century, with its "second Republic," the Spanish Civil War, its sequels during the Francoist years, and the transition to democracy after Franco's death in 1975. As we analyze and discuss these representations, we will try to understand how these historical periods have contributed to give shape to twentieth-century Spain.

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.
