Span 245: Women's Fiction in Contemporary Spain
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course focuses on selected novels and short stories by 20th-century women writers in Spain, beginning with those writing during the post-Civil War years (1939-1975) and ending with the new generation of women writers who emerged after the end of the Franco dictatorship (post-1975). Discussions center on both political and aesthetic issues in the contexts of post-war and post-Franco Spain, including the effects of political repression and censorship; representations of gender and sexuality; and literature's relationship to feminist and nationalist movements in Spain. When relevant, other cultural media, such as film and music, are used in conjunction with our reading and analysis of literary texts. The course is taught in English.

Span 246: Freshman Seminar: Latin American Women in History and Culture: Icons and Idols
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
In English. This class takes an in-depth look at various iconic female figures in the history of Latin America, examining their (self-) representation in history, literature, art and other cultural manifestations. We examine their lives, writings, and art to learn more about the historical and cultural moment they lived in; how this moment shaped their lives and how they, in turn, shaped their historical moment. We aim to draw the larger conclusions of how women in history, despite hostile circumstances, have managed to forge political, cultural, and artistic identities and make an impact on the world around them. We study these women in a chronological fashion, showing how society's attitudes changed toward women and how, in some ways, paradoxically, stayed the same. The women we study are all very different in terms of identity, historical period, and sociocultural background but all are similar in terms of their desire to overcome convention and resist repression-sometimes with very tragic results. Figures we study include La Malinche, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Manuela Saenz, Delmira Agustini, Frida Kahlo, Eva Perón, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, Rigoberta Menchú, and Ingrid Betancourt. Prerequisite: concurrent registration in individually appropriate level of Spanish language course is required.

Span 247: Freshman Seminar
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Taught in English. Small group seminar devoted to readings and study of other texts such as films, paintings, etc.; active discussion; and writing. Topics vary; interdisciplinary focus. Section 01. Women Between Cultures: U.S. Latinas. In the past 15 years, Chicanas, Nuyoricans, Cuban-Americans, Dominican-Americans, and other Latinas writing in the United States have created a significant body of works dealing with being a woman between two cultures. This course examines how women have articulated the experience of living within two sets of cultural codes. We read works by Sandra Cisneros, Cristina GarcÃa, Julia Alvarez, Esmeralda Santiago, Rosario Ferré, Nicholasa Mohr, and Elena Castedo. In our approach we consider the theoretical writings of Gloria Anzaldúa, MarÃa Lugones, Rosi Braidotti, and others. Section 02. Women's Fiction in Contemporary Spain. This course focuses on selected novels and short stories by 20th-century women writers in Spain, beginning with those writing during the post-Civil War years (1939-1975) and ending with the new generation of women writers who emerged after the end of the Franco dictatorship (post-1975). Discussions center on both political and aesthetic issues in the contexts of post-war and post-Franco Spain, including the effects of political repression and censorship; representations of gender and sexuality; and literature's relationship to feminist and nationalist movements in Spain.

Span 251: Latin-American Nomads and Travelers
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Rites of passage and trespassing representing Latin-American immigrants, nomads, and travelers in narrative and film. This course is designed to map the multicultural context of travel, nomadism, displacement, and immigration while studying narrative texts (Before Night Falls; Heading South, Looking North; Life on the Hyphen; Translated Woman: Crossing the Border With Esperanza's Story) and films (El Norte, Gringuito, Old Gringo, Stand and Deliver) by Latin-American and Latino authors. We look at the images, metaphors, and myths that pervade current conceptualizations of the borderlands and explore the variety of ways in which postcolonial rites of passage and trespassing inform the aesthetics of contemporary Latin-American cultural expression. In English.
