Desc:THE SHELL AND THE ROAD: A THOUSAND YEARS ACROSS THE NORTH OF SPAIN. A course devoted to the study of the legends, literary masterpieces, films, documentaries, web pages, contemporary narratives. songs, artistic and culinary traditions related to the Road to Santiago. This old pilgrimage route, still followed by pilgrims and adventurers from all over the world, was named the First European Cultural Itinerary by the Council of Europe, in 1988, and is an essential part of Spain's culture and history. It will be studied from the beginning to the end, as an imaginary journey from the little town of Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees, to the Galician city of Santiago de Compostela, with several famous stages such as Burgos, the city of Mio Cid, the monasteries of Santo Domingo de Silos and San Millan de la Cogolla, related to the origins of the Spanish language and the town of Cebreiro, believed by some to be the place that gave birth to the Arthurian legend of the Grail. We will approach the study of this legendary road with the support of some of the most recent findings in both the field of pilgrimage studies and the research on the nomadic origins of our human nature. These will help us understand the relevance "The Camino" has had for millions of people, and the worldwide popularity it has acquired in recent years. By the end of the course each student will have his/her own portfolio with information and ideas that will make him/her a more informed and motivated pilgrim whatever route he/she decides to take.

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.
