SPAN 092-301	CORONA CAPITALISM: CRISIS AND INEQUALITY ACROSS THE AMERICAS	BROWNSTONE, VERONICA	CANCELED	The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated existing social inequalities. It has also accelerated the pace of history so sharply that the course of events has become nearly impossible to predict. This CWiC critical speaking seminar takes as its starting point our shared participation in the experience of uncertainty. At the same time, in looking to Latin America and the US, it articulates the fact that COVID-19 is anything but a "great equalizer": its impact varies widely and decisively across race, class, and gender. As the world confronts multiple layers of wreckage, not only biological but also ecological and economic, how can we frame and communicate both uncertainty and truth in a thoughtful way? We will examine social problems that have been laid bare by the pandemic and have since become sites of ethical and political reevaluation, namely health disparities, ecological racism, the distribution of labor, and criminal justice. This seminar's aim is to collaboratively assess one fundamental question: How can we understand COVID-19 not as an exceptional moment in history, but as a crisis of racial capitalism? By studying media, activism, policy, and scholarship produced during the pandemic alongside foundational critical theory, students will gain the analytical tools to contextualize its disproportionate global impact on poor communities and people of color, and to envision a just post-pandemic recovery. We will engage Marxist, feminist, and anti-racist theoretical approaches, and while familiarity with these methods is not necessary, an openness to them is. Self-examination is crucial to the success of the course, which requires students reflect on their own political, intellectual, and emotional investments in racialized inequality. This is a speaking intensive seminar intended to improve students' oral communication and listening skills through class discussions, prepared presentations, and mixed-media communication projects. Conducted in English.			COMMUNICATION WITHIN THE CURRICULUM

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 opportunities to practice orally and in writing so that they can reinforce newly acquired vocabulary and linguistic structures. Readings focused on a specific country or region, visual items (such as maps, photos and 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. Non-course prerequisite: A score of 380-440 on the SAT II or 285-383 on the online placement examination.

Behind this masterpiece was the arduous and tireless work of a writer that had been searching for a personal style during almost a decade. This search also has a continental dimension. In García Marquez’s work, readers find the main topics, aesthetic quests, and political conflicts that hold the Latin American imagination, from the “crónicas de conquista” to the artistic vanguard adventures of the middle of the century. His narrative brings together early discussions about magical realism and the literary boom, anthropological inquiries rooted in transculturation and critical regionalism, as well as questions on class, race, and gender. In this course we will read different moments of his work, from his early short stories to some of his major novels.

This course studies the boundaries and tensions between facts and fiction in Latin America from a historical perspective. We start by analyzing early modern writing by the Spanish conquistadors: cannibals, human sacrifices, sirens, sea monsters, and El Dorado are just a few subjects that 16th-century “non-fiction” presents as facts. We move then to discuss 19th-century journalism about cosmopolitanism and urban modernization. Technological innovations blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, something that film, narrative journalism, and literary chronicles would exploit thought-out the 20th century. Finally, we study non-fictional narratives in contemporary literature and audiovisual media.		CROSS CULTURAL ANALYSIS; CRSE ONLINE: SYNC & ASYNC COMPONENTS; CROSS-CULTURAL ANALYSIS

More specifically, we will approach Cervantes' work as an archive from which readers, illustrators, filmmakers, creative and performative artists, and scholars have extracted discrete pieces from the work and represented them as what I will call Quixotic attractions. Inevitably, we will explore theoretical polemics surrounding adaptation and the pesky question of fidelity, while considering more recent theoretical concepts of remediation, re-articulation, and re-imagination and their bearing of the visual presentation of Cervantes' novel. This graduate seminar assumes that students have previously read Don Quixote either in high school or as undergraduates. Although we will spend the first two weeks mapping plot points, describing characters, noting digressions and adventures, and contemplating the role of intercalated episodes and stories, the remainder of the seminar will be dedicated to visual and performative remediations of Don Quixote from the publication of the Part One in 1605 to the Present.

Please see the Spanish Department's website for the current course description: https://www.sas.upenn.edu/hispanic-portuguese-studies/pc	La vanguardia es el punto de referencia básico en el desarrollo de la lírica desde 1870, cuando los -ismos comienzan a aparecer en el París posterior a la Comuna. Hasta finales del siglo XX, la lírica se va a definir por la posición que los autores adoptan respecto a la vanguardia. Este seminario supone una lectura histórica y canónica del movimiento y su legado; y, a la vez, un ejercicio en el análisis del verso usando distintos modelos que incluyen la Estilística (Ortega y Gasset, Carlos Bousoño, Amado Alonso, Materia y forma en poesía) el Formalismo ruso (Osip Brik, Tynianov, Jakobson), el Existencialismo (Sartre), el Estructualismo y la Semiótica (Michael Riffaterre, Yuri Lotman). En cuanto a los textos, estudiamos las corrientes de la poesía pura siguiendo la l’Abbé Bremon (JRJ, Guillén), el neogongorismo y la poesía del 27 (Dámaso Alonso, Lorca); el movimiento posterior de poesía impura y la influencia de Neruda en España (Miguel Hernández, Vicente Aleixandre) y la rehumanización que, en España, corresponde al momento de la guerra civil y la postguerra (Emilio Prados). Seguiremos con la poesía postguerra y el entendimiento de la poesía como algo instrumental, o como arma de combate (Celaya), la poesía social (Blas de Otero, José Hierro), el énfasis en la comunicación del medio siglo (Claudio Rodríguez, Atencia), seguido del reencuentro con la vanguardia y los movimientos que recuperan la vanguardia en el 68 (los novísimos, Gimferrer, Carnero, Rosetti). Pasamos a la poesía de la experiencia (García Montero, Felipe Benítez), que escribe una poesía para el hombre de la calle inspirada en ideas procedentes del marxismo (Althusser, Juan Carlos Rodríguez). Y concluimos con el neo-liricismo de Chantal Maillard. Además de los poetas mencionados, leeremos, entre otros, textos de Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Valéry, Ezra Pound, Unamuno, Guillén, Lorca, Valente, Gloria Fuertes.

SPAN 698-301	WRKSHP ON SCHOLARLY WRTG	BECKMAN, ERICKA	F 1000AM-0100PM	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.
