An analysis and interpretation of the complete text of Don Quijote de la Mancha, with attention given to Cervantes' use of irony (burla) as the keystone of his artifice. Keeping in mind the historical and cultural background of the text, we will examine how Cervantes' writings (El Quijote, Entremeses, Novelas Ejemplare) hinge on a parodic game that entails a process of encoding and decoding, one which has a demystifying power upon reality. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture

Conducted in Spanish. Prerequisite: Spanish 291 or a 300-level course or its equivalent, or permission of the instructor.

This course provides an overview of some of the most relevant canonical works of the Golden Age while establishing some basic guidelines for the understanding of this rich period of Spanish culture; The American Empire made Spain one of the most powerful countries in the history of humanity. We will focus on central aspects of the Imperial Age poetics, such as the relationship between literature and reality, as well as the key trends in politics and religion (the connections between Golden Age culture and the Reconquest and the Counter-Reformation), while simultaneously calling attention to some of the critical stances of well-known writers such as Cervantes. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture

Several debates, themes, images or tropes seem to constitute a symbolic and discursive core of Latin American cultural history: "The Savage," "The Gaucho," "The Mestizo," "The Captive," "The Matriach," "The Landowner," "The Enightened Tyrant," "The Developer," and "The Immigrant." These concepts are, in turn, connected to notions of Europeanness, whiteness, civilization, capitalist development, and progress. Through the examination of a series of literary texts and documents from different historical periods and literary and ideological movements, this course explores the origin and historical evolution of these recurring and enduring themes and metaphors. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture

The course concentrates on the contradictory worldviews of Amerindians' voices/writings and the specific projections generated by explorers, travelers, historians, soldiers, friars, and conquistadors as they sought to explain the "otherness" of this new land. It also will focus on the shift of the official representation of America and the Amerindian provoked by the complexities brought on by the emergence of the modern state. We will also study, through the work of the leading playwrights of the Golden Age, the significance of these profound changes, their implications for the Spanish policies toward the Amerindians, and Spain's response to this non-European worl Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture

This course looks at the (primarily literary) representation of the indigenous peoples of Spanish America, from the first writings of Christopher Columbus to current indigenista and neo-indigenista prose and indigenous testimonies. Besides essays, poetry, theater, and narrative, the class examines art, film, photography, and popular culture, in order to examine how national cultural production portrays, appropriates, marginalizes, or celebrates the indigenous peoples and cultures. While we will look at the portrayal of the indigenous peoples in a variety of contexts (including the US), we will concentrate on those areas with the highest concentration of indigenous peoples: Mexico, Central America, and the Andes. (Also listed under Latin American and Caribbean Studies.) Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture

Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
