Close study of selected major literary works from the Middle Ages to the Age of the Enlightenment. The course will normally focus on a theme, movement, or genre which links the selected works in a common or conflicting tradition. Class discussion and short papers will aim at developing the ability to read literature critically. A short creative writing project is part of the requirements. Although the course focuses on a pre-modern period, links are made to later periods and to the present. Recent offerings: the Middle Ages and how medieval imagery and ideas were revitalized by the Romantics and the 20th century; and "Der Garten," what historical changes this archetypical image underwent in different periods from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. May be repeated for credit. Pre- or co-requisites: ILCG 205 and 206 or consent of the instructor.

This semester-long course allows students to develop their Spanish language skills and to gain a deep understanding of the Central American region through study at the Institute for Central American Development Studies (ICADS). The ICADS focuses on women's issues, economic development, environmental studies, public health, education, human rights, and wildlife conservation. Students can choose to participate in one of two tracks. One is the ICADS Semester Internship and Research Program, where after a four-week language and culture orientation students spend eight weeks on an independent project in Costa Rica or Nicaragua, followed by a final two weeks at ICADS to present the students' experience. The internship can be with one of many types of organizations. The second track is the Field Course in Resource Management and Sustainable Development, where after a fourweek language and culture orientation students spend five weeks in small groups in three to four different areas within Costa Rica where they learn about a diversity of ecological zones and systems of regional development. The second track concludes with a five-week independent study in one of the previously visited locations, chosen by the student, and a final presentation. For more information on ICADS, go to the Web site: www.icads.org. To apply for the program, contact a Spanish professor in the Department of International Languages and Cultures. The awarding of the full 1 6 credits is dependent upon successful completion of all components of the ICADS semester.
