HISP-S 331  The Hispanic World I (3 credits)
Prerequisite:  S310 or equivalent

This course explores questions of identity (personal, ethnic,
racial, gender, and national) within the context of an introduction
to twentieth-century Spanish American literary works.  We also
examine the relationship between art, politics, and culture in these
texts. The course is divided into five sections, each of which
studies the mechanics of a different literary genre: the novel,
short story, drama, essay, and poetry.  Goals of this course
include:  working knowledge of the major literary genres;
development of skills for analyzing literary texts; and improvement
of the student’s speaking, writing, listening, and reading
abilities.  Course requirements include a midterm and final exam,
three short papers, quizzes, homework, and participation.
