Winter 11
- Spanish 37: Texts and Contexts: Topics in Writing. Writing like a "Nobel". Each week students will read, reflect on and write about the work of a Nobel Prize winner from Latin America and Spain (Benavente, Mistral, Ramón Jiménez, Asturias, Neruda, Aleixandre, García Márquez, Cela, Paz, Menchú and Vargas Llosa), which will help them develop excellence in reading and writing as they prepare for upper level literature and culture courses in Spanish. Weekly writing and re-writing activities on our blog will be instrumental for improving students’ critical reading and writing skills. Special attention will be devoted to literary and critical technical terms that students will be expected to master.
- Spanish 53: Topics in Spanish Linguistics, Rhetoric, and Poetics. Spanish Linguistics, Rhetoric, Poetics, and the Politics of Language. The first part of this course surveys the evolution of Castilian language, with special emphasis on the influence of Arabic and indigenous languages of the Americas, Judeo-Spanish (ladino), Italianisms and Cultisms, Voseo, and the influence of English. In the second part, students will acquire analytical skills to understand the rhetorical and poetic architecture of major works of the Golden Age (Garcilaso de la Vega, Luis de Góngora, Fray Luis de León, etc). Finally, the course reflects on the politics of language by focusing on the history of Language Academies, the production of Grammars, Dictionaries and Orthographies, the relation between Castilian and other languages in Spain and Latin America, and the place of Castilian/Spanish in the United States.
