- Class Description:
- TOPIC TITLE for SPRING 2015 with Raul Marrero-Fente: Spanish Colonialism in Africa ======= DESCRIPTION: This seminar aims to provide a new global interpretation of Spanish colonialism in Africa during the 15th and 16th centuries. The seminar, will examine the legacies of Spanish colonialism and the role played by imperialist discourse as producer of the epistemic colonial difference. Furthermore, this course not only identifies the global nature of Spanish colonialism in Africa, but also analyses the indigenous accounts of resistance to the conquest and colonization. By focusing on the Spanish cultural production in Africa, we argue that Hispanic culture cannot be understood in isolation one from other geographical regions, or from the trans-oceanic and global exchanges from which it emerged in the pre-modern period. This seminar is an attempt to understand the development of the global Hispanophone culture as the outcome of trans-oceanic networks that established connections among diverse peoples in distant regions of the world. By studying the reciprocal influences between Spanish and African cultures and societies, we can begin to move beyond the confines and limitations of geographically bound and closed entities in our analysis of Hispanic Studies. With the adoption of an interdisciplinary and comparative theoretical approach, this course is an attempt to rethink the concepts of imperialism and colonialism by taking into account the mutual influences among world regions in building the Global Hispanophone World. Primary reading materials are in Spanish and critical readings are in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Writing will be in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
