2955 HISP-315-01 The Theater of García Lorca 1.00 SEM Gelardo-Rodriguez,Teresa MW: 10:00AM-11:15AM TBA GLB2  
  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.
3034 HISP-354-01 Writing Bodies 1.00 SEM Hubert,Rosario TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM TBA HUM  
  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.
