This course will focus on the construction of the subject within national discourses and cultural expressions in the countries of Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru. Specifically, we will look at those creators and works (in literature, music, art, film, theater, and popular culture) that challenge/threaten dominant discourse within the nation and demand a rethinking of the dominant culture-space paradigm. Our exploration will include, but not be limited to, cultural production by women, indigenous and mestizo groups, Afro-Hispanics, Jews, and gays. (Also offered under the Latin American and Caribbean Studies concentration of the International Studies Program; and the Women Gender and Sexuality Program.)

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) severely damaged Spain's social and cultural fabric. In the six decades since the end of the war, however, Spaniards have demonstrated that violence, poverty, and political oppression are no match for a vital literary and cultural tradition. In this course we will analyze a number of the more important novels of the post-war era with an eye toward gaining an understanding the social problems and transformations that have taken place in the country during this period. 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

In this course we will examine the relationship between history and film in Spain, one of the world's most important film-producing countries. Until quite recently, cinematic production there was marked by a general tendency to promote the primacy of Castilian culture and Church-derived social mores through the production of historicist narratives. Since the country's transition to democracy, a much more plural and heterodix cinematic tradition has taken root in the country. While still very much engaged with history, this new tradition promotes a broader view of the country's religious, sexual and linguistic heritage.

The aim of this course is to enhance written and oral skills in Spanish and to engender a detailed and sophisticated understanding of the major cultural, historical, and political tendencies of Spain and the societies of the Southern Cone of Latin America. After learning the basics of "podcasting" production (Internet telephony, digital editing, and RSS syndication), students will produce a bi-weekly internet radio program which will place special emphasis on the study of the urban cultures of Barcelona and Montevideo and the flow of ideas between the South America and the Iberian worlds. When researching, writing, and producing the required 10 hours of finished programming, student production teams are expected to communicate not only with faculty and student "correspondents" at Trinity's global learning sites, but also with relevant artists, writers, politicians and cultural entrepreneurs on both sides of the Atlantic bas 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

Featuring vagabonds, outlaws, and other social deviants as protagonists, picaresque novels offer a critical view of a decadent 17th-century Spain from the perspective of socially marginalized subjects whose view of the world is rife with irony and satire. Through the reading of Golden Age Spanish classics like the Lazarillo de Tormes and Cervantes' Novelas ejemplares, as well as other classic and contemporary Latin American picaresque texts, including Catalina de Erauso's Vida y sucesos de la monja alférez, Carmen Boullosa's Duerme, and Che Guevara's Diarios de motocicleta, this course inquires into the relationship between art and the political, exploring the ways in which artists exploited the aesthetic form of the picaresque to both question power and reaffirm it. Course readings will be complemented with various key films in Spanish and Latin American cinema and with selected readings in critical theory. 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, Seminar
