SPN 340Spanish Cinema In this course we will study the production of a selected group of Spanish filmmakers
from Buñuel to the present. Through film screenings, class discussions, and readings on film theory, film history, and Spanish culture, we will trace the evolution of Spanish cinema through Franco’s military dictatorship and under the new democratic system. Themes of exile and censorship, gender and sexuality, religion and nationality, among others, will be explored in the context of film history, Spanish society, and in relation to other artistic manifestations of Spanish culture. By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of contemporary Spanish history as represented in its cinema, as well as an understanding of a variety of themes that are both unique to Spanish society and universal to the human condition. (Staff, offered alternate years) SPN 344 Rutas literarias de Espana This course focuses on key moments in the development of Spanish Peninsular Literature from the Middle Ages to the (post) modern period. Through the analysis of poems, short stories, essays and other historical and experimental genres, this class seeks to explain and exemplify essential themes of the Spanish literary tradition: race and ethnicity; nation, Empire, and foreign influence; cultural customs and the apprais- al of modernity; gender issues and the reflection on literature, individuality and artistic language. Prerequisite: two courses from level II, or equivalent. (Rodriguez-Mansilla, offered alternate years) SPN 355 Contemporary Theater: Innovations in Hispanic Drama This class will examine theater from Latin America, Spain, and the Latino population in the US. We will study the diverse methods that playwrights in these regions have developed to reflect and to critique the political and social climates in which they live; we will also discuss the role that theater plays in community-building, identity politics, and political activism. Dramatic practices such as metatheater, theater of cruelty, Brechtian techniques, and feminist drama will be discussed throughout the semester.

SPN 360Topics: Hispanic Studies
SPN 385 Sounds of Spanish This course takes students one step further in their mastery of the Spanish language with an introduction to the mechanics of native sound production. Students will study the basic concepts of Spanish phonology and phonetics. Likewise, they will learn how to represent and interpret speech using the International Phonetic Alphabet. Non-native speakers will work with native speakers toward achieving a native-like pronunciation. Both groups of students will develop an awareness of the phonetic variation that exists in the Spanish-speaking world today. Emphasis will be placed on historical factors involved in the development of different phonetic variants, as well as the social advantages and disadvantages that characterize them. Other differences between varieties of Spanish will also be examined, such as morphosyntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects. Prerequisite: two SPAN courses from level II, or the equivalent.

SPN 489Capstone Experience Each student pursuing a major in SHS must present a portfolio project prior to
graduation. The portfolio includes a self-evaluation, writing samples, a reflection paper, and a formal presentation (in Spanish). This is not a course for credit, but rather an experience that is required of all majors in their final year; the creation and presentation of the portfolio project take place outside of class time. Students should ask their SHS advisors for specific details, including a timeline for submitting materials and an up-to-date project description. SPN 490 Cervantes: Don Quijote This course offers careful analysis of the style, characterization, theme, and struc- ture of Spain’s greatest literary masterpiece, and study of the work’s relationship to major social and intellectual currents of the 16th and 17th centuries. Prerequisite: Two courses from level III or the equivalent (Rodríguez-Mansilla, offered occasionally) SPN 495/496 Honors COURSES TAUGHT IN ENGLISH (SPNE) SPNE 210 Topics in Bilingual Education Bilingual education is a rapidly growing field in this country. Successful bilingual programs are intellectually stimulating, empowering, and culturally enriching and draw from diverse meth- odologies and practices. This course explores the philosophies, approaches, and practical applications of foreign language pedagogy in general and Spanish-English bilingual education in particular. Through study, service, and community engagement, students will consider what constitutes success in Spanish-English bilingual education, how bilingualism and biculturalism contribute to our national culture and local community, and how practices and policies in bilingual education are continually evolving.
