121: SPANISH IMMERSION

17766 Daily|10:30-11:20 am|5 cr|Kennedy
Spanish 121, 122 and 123 follows
an alternative method. It is an approach in which students learn
the foreign language in its cultural context. Through the use of
video as the central medium of presentation, students experience
the language as it occurs in real-life situations and settings throughout
the Spanish-speaking world. This communicative method follows the
premise that the four language skills are most effectively developed
when acquired in a specific order: listening, speaking, reading,
writing. Students who register for this course should expect a more
rigorous, grammar-intensive approach. It is intended for highly
motivated BEGINNING students who have a particular interest in learning
Spanish grammar and who plan to commit a great deal of time to its
study. From the first day, the class is conducted entirely in Spanish
as a conversation in which all students are expected to actively
participate. Students will discuss the characters and the events
as they unfold in the telenovela of the video series as the context
through which they learn and practice the grammar and vocabulary
of the chapter. Students who are taking Spanish with no other interest
than to fulfill the foreign language distribution requirement should
not take this class. They would be better served by following another
course of study. Many students who have taken this course because
they are highly motivated to learn Spanish have reported that they
are amazed how well they can understand, speak, write and read Spanish
by the time the course is over.

This first year Spanish

SPAN 577: CONTEMPORARY LITERARY THEORY
TTH 3:30-5:20 pm|5 cr|Gilbert-Santamaria
In examining the far ranging perspectives that typically fall under
the rubric of literary theory, this course will take as its focus
the implicit and explicit assumptions that underlie much of such theoretical
discourse. The course will examine five theoretical traditions in
some detail, paying special attention to the interpretive priorities
that these theories set in motion. The theoretical paradigms that
we will examine are: new criticism/reader response theory, psychoanalysis-both
Freudian and Lacanian, Marxism, and Post-structuralism. In each case,
we will examine the ways in which a given theoretical discipline already
posits a particular understanding of how literature is to be read
and interpreted. In particular, we will be asking what each of these
theories explicitly and implicitly articulates as the "important"
work of literary criticism. By the same token, we will be also concerned
to consider what each of these theories may be said to neglect, overlook,
or merely take for granted.
This course will be taught
in English and is open to students from Romance Languages, English,
and Comparative Literature.

Close analysis of several key literary texts written by European travelers

studies and then a focus for human rights and indigenous autonomy
movements. Discussion topics will include travel writing and colonialism;
testimonial and ethnographic narrative; indigenista and neoindigenista
fiction; relations between oral traditions and written literature;
and postcolonial and subaltern studies. Students will write a 10-12-page
final analytical research essay and give an oral presentation on their
research. The class discussions will be in English and the principal
readings are all available in English; however, Spanish students will
read the pertinent texts, conduct at least half of their research,
and write their essay in Spanish.
