We will assess how feminine enjoyment poses a challenge to the patriarchal mores that underpin Latin American societies. We will also discuss the manner such enjoyment is represented by both men and women writers and filmmakers. We will refer to psychoanalysis as a theoretical framework and will include texts by theoreticians from Latin America, such as Iris Zavala, Marta Traba and Sylvia Molloy, as well as others like Sigmund Freud, Slavoj Zizek, and Luce Irigaray.

  • SPAN 337 - Honor/Honra Siglo de Oro

    Unit(s): 4

    Ideas about honor and the values that reflect them are not static, changing over time. In this course we consider how such changes emerge in Iberian societies, converting a behavior or practice once thought honorable into one considered dishonorable, and elevating other behaviors to occupy the higher moral position.


    Prerequisite: SPAN 206
    College of Arts and Sciences
  

  • SPAN 338 - La Invención de España

    Unit(s): 4

    This course begins in the 19th Century during the last throws of a dying Spanish Empire.

  • SPAN 340 - Fotografía y Ficción en L.A.

    Unit(s): 4

    In this course students acquire an appreciation of the ways in which aesthetic works contribute to the formation of cultural identity. Although literature is the primary material of this course, our understanding of literary language is achieved by reflecting on the language of photography. The contrast between the word and the image reveals that the limitations of one illustrate the possibilities of the other. Based on the conviction that reality is only understandable as a complex net of interconnections, sometimes paradoxical and irresolvable, texts and activities for this course reflect this complexity.

The course will use major historical events of the last century as touchstones for our initial conversations, before moving on to examine far more recent changes in Spanish society–including gay marriage, immigration, economic inequities and unemployment, and the expanding role for women in Spanish public life, as well as the diminishing influence of the Catholic Church in national politics.
