SPAN 121-301	ELEMENTARY SPANISH	PAREDES FERNANDEZ, MARIA	FISHER-BENNETT HALL 406	MTWRF 1200PM-0100PM	Spanish 121 is designed for students who have some prior experience in Spanish. It is an intensive elementary-level language course that in one semester covers the material studied over two semesters in our Spanish 110 and Spanish 120. The course provides a quick-paced review of material normally covered in a first-semester Spanish course and then proceeds to introduce new material so students will be prepared to take Spanish 130 during the subsequent semester. As in other Spanish courses, Spanish 121 emphasizes the development of foundational listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while exploring the rich cultural mosaic of the Spanish-speaking world. Through listening activities and mini documentaries shown in class, students will develop their aural and oral skills at the same time that they will become familiarized with different varieties of standard spoken Spanish. Students will be given ample opportunties to practice orally and in writing so that they can reinforce newly acquired vocabulary adn linguistic structures. Readings focused on a specific country or region, visual items (such as maps, photos adn films) and a class project will advance students' knowledge of Hispanic cultural practices and products while increasing their intercultural competence. Conducted entirely in Spanish, this class will provide you with guided practice before moving to more independent and spontaneous language production. You will participate in paired, small-group and whole-class activities that simulate real-life situations that will help you gain confidence communicating in Spanish. Goals: By the end of this course students can expect to handle a variety of day-to-day situations in a Spanish-speaking setting such as: 1) Introduce themselves, use greetings, describe people, places and things, give instructions, tell time, go shopping, order meals in a restaurant, and make travel plans. 2) Talk about themselves, families, and friends regarding academic life, daily routines, health, work, leisure, and preferences (using the present and past tenses). 3) Use the cultural information learned in class as an icebreaker to find common ground with a wide variety of Spanish speakers.

Please see the Spanish Department's website for the current course description: https://www.sas.upenn.edu/hispanic-portuguese-studies/pc	This course aims to familiarize students with some of the best cinematography of Latin America covering a broad set of themes, nations and time periods. In particular, we will look at films that explore the multiple roles of revolution and other utopian discourses, the spread of migratory displacement throughout the hemisphere, the focus on new gender formation and the “state to market” turn now prevalent under neoliberal globalization. In Latin America, film almost always bears the mark of national inscriptions. We will thus begin by probing how these themes inform national history, particularly in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Cuba, nations that developed a vibrant cinematography at various points in the 20th Century. But the main goal in this course is not only to look at film as national representation nor to stay within those four sites of production but also to study how these films articulate, complicate and at times contradict such certitudes. Film theory and criticism will therefore accompany the discussion of screened movies. The class will be taught in English. Students looking to receive major or minor credit in HSPN may submit their written work in Spanish.		CROSS CULTURAL ANALYSIS; CROSS-CULTURAL ANALYSIS

This seminar will explore the particularities of the Colombian case through narrative and movies, combining different theoretical approaches, from postcolonialism to gender studies, but focusing on the relationship between literature, cultural productions, and political history and theory. We will analyze the causes and effects of the persistent violence in the country, the emergence of guerrillas, the rise of narco ‘capos’, the ‘guerra sucia’ against progressive political parties --and the constant struggle of the Colombian people to overcome this history of violence, and to build a more inclusive and democratic country.

Please see the Spanish Department's website for the current course description: https://www.sas.upenn.edu/hispanic-portuguese-studies/pc	In this seminar we will study the historical evolution of Surrealism in Spain through the art of Salvador Dalí, arguably the most famous representative of the movement in Spain. We begin considering the historical origins of the Surrealist revolution as initially stated by André Breton in the Surrealist Manifesto. We follow with a detailed analysis of the paranoiac-critical method Salvador Dalí put forward as an alternative to Breton's automatism. As we progress in the historical analysis of the movement, we will explore Salvador Dalí's dismantlement of the avant-garde once the painter encountered great success in the United States and he realized the enormous marketability of scandal. When we consider the avant-garde movement in post-war Europe and America, we will go over the different forms Dalí offered as alternatives to Surrealism: digestive art, double image, art pompier, pop art. In addition to painting, our primary texts will combine film (Dalí and Buñuel's Un Chien Andalou, L'Age d'Or, Manjeant Garotes and Tristana), autobiographical writings (Dali's My secret Life and Diary of a Genius), theoretical work (Breton's Surrealist Manifesto, Dalí's Le mythe tragique de «L'Angelus» de Millet, Freud's Three Essays on the History of Sexuality), and criticism on the life and work of the painter (Quest, Quest on Dalí; Gibson, The Shameful Life of Salvador Dalí).

These genres include costumbrismo articles, fantastic tales, political discourses, tradiciones, among others. We are going to discuss the aesthetic and ideological implications of this rejection of totality of these literary genres and their contribution or deviancy to the nation building project. We will read works by Pardo y Aliaga, Palma, Mansilla, Holmberg, Gorriti, Heredia, Montalvo, Roa Barcena along with literary theory authors like Dennis Mellier, Jacques Ranciere, Carlo Ginzburg, Jacques Derrida.

Please see the Spanish Department's website for the current course description: https://www.sas.upenn.edu/hispanic-portuguese-studies/pc	This seminar aims to study the act of reading in colonial times from a twofold perspective. First, we will reflect on reading as a historical practice, drawing our attention to topics such as literacy, printing, reading communities, private and public libraries, authorship, book trade, and cultural markets. The course will include texts by Christopher Columbus, Diego Mexía, Bernardo de Balbuena, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, Fray Joaquín Bolaños, Juan Pablo Viscardo y Gúzmán, among others. Second, we will frame the study of primary texts within current theoretical debates on the act of reading, from hermeneutics, phenomenology, and aesthetic of reception, to more current methods such as thin, distant, and surface reading.

This Pro-seminar is designed to provide a graduate-level survey of the history and evolution of cinematic creation in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America, starting with the arrival of the first Lumière operators and extending roughly to 1980. The seminar privileges breadth over depth as we attempt to map the history of major film movements, the rise of new genres, the nature of national spectatorship, and the antagonism between commercial (escapist) cinema and socially engaged works. Special attention will be paid to medium specificity (in relation to literature), the formal aspects of cinematic production, and the less studied genres such as short cinema and animation. Additionally, students will become familiar with pedagogical and presentational strategies including the appropriate software for manipulating film images in the form of stills and clips. The goal of the seminar is to prepare graduate students in Spanish and Latin American literature programs to incorporate film effectively and thoughtfully into their research and future course offerings.
SPAN 698-301	WRKSHP ON SCHOLARLY WRTG	DE LA CAMPA, ROMAN	WILLIAMS HALL 219	F 1200PM-0300PM	This course aims to develop awareness about what constitutes effective scholarly prose in Spanish. It proposes to hone the student's handling of writing as a vehicle for the expression of intellectual thought, but also to develop a consciousness of the rhetorical strategies that can be used to advance a critical argument effectively. Extensive writing exercises will be assigned; these will be followed by intense and multiple redactions of the work originally produced. The ulitmate goal is to make students develop precision, correctness, and elegance in written Spanish. Students will also work on a class paper written previously, with a view to learning the process of transforming a short, limited expression of an argument into a publishable article.
