  Translation is one of the most critical skills for navigating our globalized world. Whether we are reading news stories from across the globe, watching Netflix shows from other languages and cultures, or studying abroad, we confront situations in which translation matters. In this course, students will develop practical skills in the art of translation, while also studying some of the crucial theories and questions that inform the field of Translation Studies. From infamous translation controversies to contemporary debates around translation and identity, our readings and discussions will analyze the political, ethical, and cultural stakes of translating. Given the practical component of the course, in which students workshop their own translations-in-progress, an intermediate-level knowledge of any language besides English is required (completion of 202 level or equivalent).

Students will be introduced to theoretical models of propaganda and various methods and forms in visual culture. With a primary emphasis on the American and European context, this course will examine how film was weaponized during critical moments in the twentieth century as in World War I and II, during the Cold War, as well as how it is used today. All coursework in English. Films will have English subtitles.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course (taught in English) starts from the dual premise that culture is largely a product of communication and that, in turn, communication is a basis and record of culture. Therefore, some of the questions central to this course will be: What is language? How do the many texts around us mediate our understanding of culture? And what happens when ideas and concepts are translated from one language and one cultural context to another? Students will be able to explore these and other questions within the context of their own experience of language and communication. Given the cross-cultural nature of this course, there will be regular guest lectures by faculty from a range of other fields.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: HISP 260 or higher, 270 recommended
  This course introduces students to the tragic imagination in 20th-century Hispanic literature through the theater of Federico García Lorca. The course will focus on close readings of Lorca’s major plays—such as Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba—to explore how his dramatic works engage with themes of tyranny, oppression, freedom, love, and identity.A central concern of the course will be understanding the concept of tragedy: how it functions as a literary form, how Lorca reimagines it within a modern Spanish context, and how it becomes a vehicle for political and emotional expression. Students will learn to analyze dramatic structure, character, imagery, and symbolism while situating Lorca’s theater within broader cultural and historical frameworks, including the lead-up to the Spanish Civil War.Throughout the semester, we will also consider Lorca’s influence on later Hispanic writers and artists and how tragedy continues to shape questions of justice, freedom, and human dignity in literature.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This interdisciplinary seminar explores the body as a site of inscription and a medium of expression, engaging choreography as a mode of writing that moves across languages, cultures, and disciplines. We will focus on Latin America as a dynamic locus where literature, performance, and theory intersect to interrogate how bodies articulate histories of colonialism, resistance, and migration. In the study of works of writers who dance, and dancers who write—ranging from experimental poetry and narrative to contemporary dance, theater, and performance art—we will examine how movement generates meaning and how writing itself may be thought of as a form of corporeal practice. Students will engage with theoretical and creative works, experiment with interdisciplinary methodologies, and reflect on how embodied practices reshape the borders between literature, performance, and cultural critique. Works studied include those of Severo Sarduy, José Limón, Alma Guillermoprieto, Alicia Alonso, and Florencia Werchowsky.
