"Childhood and Coming of Age in Spain" - Prof. Steven Wagschal
Office: Ballantine 862/Tel. 855-1623/e-mail: swagscha@indiana.edu
This section of The Hispanic World II focuses on literary texts from
Spain that deal with childhood of girls and boys and their coming of
age into young women and young men. Many of the texts are prose
fiction, primarily short stories; in addition we will read one full
play, an essay, several poems, and view two films.
The study of another culture is implicitly comparative, and this
course will draw on your knowledge and understanding of Childhood and
Coming of Age in your own society and as they are represented in U.S.
and other literatures and cinemas.
The course and all assignments will be in Spanish.
