Department of Spanish and Portuguese

Prerequisite: S280 or placement by exam.

This course aims to provide students with an overview of the cultural history of Spain and Latin America from ancient to modern times, while introducing them to the analysis of cultural production in the Hispanic world. Special attention will be given to visual culture (including architecture, fine arts, photography, and film), to critical categories such as gender, race, and class, as well as those specific to or particularly relevant for the analysis of culture in the Spanish-speaking world, such as colonialism, mestizaje, transculturation, etc. The language skills as well as the critical and analytical tools that students learn in this course will improve their linguistic and cultural competence in Spanish and prepare them for 400-level courses in Spanish.
