This course will examine the rich tradition of short stories and fábulas in Spain, beginning in medieval times and ending in the eighteenth century. We will examine the different ways in which a story can be presented as well as the purposes (didactic, entertainment, etc.) behind a variety of shorter works produced. Some of the themes that will be addressed are: exemplarity, love, social class, marriage, revenge, gender and miracles. We will also consider the shift from an oral culture to a written one and the implications of the invention of the printing press and rising literacy rates on the short story as a genre and reading as a pastime. Special emphasis will be placed on the Novelas ejemplares by Miguel de Cervantes and the Desengaños amorosos by MarÃa de Zayas. Other authors include the Arcipreste de Hita, Don Juan Manuel and Tomás de Iriarte. In Spanish.

This century's major periods of social and political upheaval in Spanish America are well documented by a variety of texts that claim to tell the truth about historical events. Many of these texts acquire the status of "literature" and not mere "reporting." This course will ask the following questions: How have Spanish American writers constructed factual, truth-telling texts? What impact has photography had on the writing of nonfiction? What expectations do we as readers bring to documentary literature? How are the lines drawn -- and blurred -- between factual and fictional discourses? Readings will be chosen to represent revolutionary Mexico, labor struggles of the 1920s, revolutionary Cuba, the repression in the Southern Cone, the Central American insurgencies, and the survival of indigenous cultures. Short essays; research term paper. Class taught in English.
