Course Catalog Description:
The conquest and colonization of Latin America is a complex issue, which demands an interdisciplinary approach to achieve a better understanding of this multidimensional social conflict. The course examines the role of colonial discourse as producer of the epistemic colonial difference and explores the legacies of colonialism. Students will be expected to focus on and to think about the organizational mechanisms through which aural and visual practices mediate reality in Colonial Latin America. Furthermore, students will learn to be critical readers by considering how cultural texts may be historically determined and by exploring how individuals may shape a particular cultural theme in a variety of manners. The course will focus on critical readings and discussion of cultural artifacts, literary texts, and documents of Colonial Latin America. Studies will include material pertaining to the aural and visual production of the period, including European and indigenous accounts of the conquest, as well as indigenous, African, criollo, mestizo and women writings during the colony from an interdisciplinary perspective. Concentration will center on the textual strategies, topics, world views, motivations, projects, and expectations explicit or implicit in the texts, their significance at the time, and their importance for understanding the formation of what we know as Latin America today. The course also is devoted to the conquest of Latin America by analyzing the role of colonial discourse and the legacies of colonialism in the region. With cultural artifacts, texts and documents, students will deal with different theoretical approaches deriving from the humanities and the social sciences. Such interdisciplinary method will provide the tools, concepts, and strategic visions to carry on analytical tasks in class. All the work for the course, except for certain supplementary readings, will be in Spanish. Requirements will include preparation of assigned readings, presentati

Class Description:
The goal of this course is to provide the student with a firm foundation in the socio-historic context of the Colonial Period including the central preoccupations of the time, a knowledge of the terms in which these concerns were addressed (and by whom), and an idea of the major scholarly debates today regarding Colonial writings in Latin America. To this end, we will explore Latin American texts (in the broadest sense), discourses, and important figures from pre-contact, ?discovery,? conquest, and the Baroque ? leading to Independence - with an emphasis on the context of New Spain (today's Mexico). These discussions will be organized around texts such as Indigenous codices; the letters of Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes; the encyclopedic works of Bernardino de Sahagun; the controversial writings of Bartolome de las Casas; poetry and other writings by the 10th muse, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, and the criollo posturing of the savant Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora. Additionally, we will discuss the iconic figures of La Malinche and La Virgen de Guadalupe. Some of the concepts / issues to be addressed in the analysis of these texts are: Physical and Epistemological Violence, Divergent Agendas and Interpretations, Resistance and Adaptations, and Silences and Excesses. All writing assignments and class lecture/discussion are in Spanish.

Course Catalog Description:
Conquest, colonization, and forms of resistance in Latin America. prereq: 3015, [3104W or TLDO 3104 or VENZ 3104 or instr consent]
Class Notes:
Remaining major only seats will become available to Span minors on 4/4/2015. The Department requires students meet the prerequisites required of the course which is Span 3015 AND Span 3104W.
Class Description:
The goal of this course is to provide the student with a firm foundation in the socio-historic context of the Colonial Period including the central preoccupations of the time, a knowledge of the terms in which these concerns were addressed (and by whom), and an idea of the major scholarly debates today regarding Colonial writings in Latin America. To this end, we will explore Latin American texts (in the broadest sense), discourses, and important figures from pre-contact, ?discovery,? conquest, and the Baroque ? leading to Independence - with an emphasis on the context of New Spain (today's Mexico). These discussions will be organized around texts such as Indigenous codices; the letters of Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes; the encyclopedic works of Bernardino de Sahagun; the controversial writings of Bartolome de las Casas; poetry and other writings by the 10th muse, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, and the criollo posturing of the savant Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora. Additionally, we will discuss the iconic figures of La Malinche and La Virgen de Guadalupe. Some of the concepts / issues to be addressed in the analysis of these texts are: Physical and Epistemological Violence, Divergent Agendas and Interpretations, Resistance and Adaptations, and Silences and Excesses. All writing assignments and class lecture/discussion are in Spanish.
