This course investigates self-representation through the figure of the picaro and fictional autobiography in the representative works of the Spanish picaresque genre (Lazarillo, Guzman de Alfarache, and El Buscon).

This course, taught in English, extends issues in second-language literacy beyond pedagogy by examining the wide range of theoretical and research issues, both historical and current. Literacy acquisition among second-language learners involves a number of variables including both cognitive and social factors. Topics discussed in class include literacy and social power, universal cognitive operations, individual learner differences, text types and literary forms, and the extent to which reading and writing are interrelated. Students discuss how to bridge research and practice, and they create reading and writing activities driven by theory and empirical investigations. This course is a required course for the undergraduate minor in Applied Linguistics and an elective for the Graduate Certificate in Language Instruction.

This course carries out a critical re-examination of the concept of "realism" through a close analysis of representative narrative works of 19th-century Spain. Texts covered include canonical novels by Galdós, Clarín, Pardo Bazán, and Valera, as well as selections of noncanonical popular novels by women. These works are examined through the lens of both 19th-century literary and cultural discourses (including articles and essays by the novelists themselves), and of 20th-century literary and cultural theories. Issues to be explored include: the critical reappraisal of "realism"; intersections between fictional and historical discourse; the problems of historiography; language and the self-reflexive text; representations of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity; literature and national identity. Prerequisites: Span 307D and Span 308D and at least two 300-level literature courses taught in Spanish. One-hour preceptorial for undergraduates; in Spanish.
