SPAN 245 - From Self to Selfie


Credit(s): 3
Prerequisite(s): SPAN 116  or SPAN 121  or the approval of the Modern Foreign Languages Program Director. 
In this course, we consider the ways in which the self has been constructed in Latin America in contemporary literature and cultural productions including autobiography, poetry, the short story, film, and visual art. Students will gain experience expressing themselves in Spanish in an academic environment through formal written assignments and rigorous in-class discussions related to themes such as autobiography of exile, memoirs of revolution, testimonio, field notes and travel writing, and experimental self-writing.
