3 2 SPANISH PLACEMENT EXAM All UNM students who choose Spanish to fulfill their language requirement(s) must take the Spanish Placement Exam for placement at the appropriate level. Upon completion of the evaluation, print your placement results before logging out of the website. Spanish Placement Exam available online at: spanport.unm.edu If you lose or misplace the printed placement results, it will be necessary for you to re-take the placement exam. Bring your placement results with you to the first day of class. Placement at the 100 & 200 level: There are two Spanish language programs that are academic equivalent in every way except for the instructional approach: SSL - SPANISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE PROGRAM: Spanish classes 101, 102, 201, and 202 are designed for students of Spanish whose native home language is not Spanish. SHL - SPANISH AS A HERITAGE LANGUAGE PROGRAM: Spanish classes 111, 112, 211, and 212 are designated for students who have a cultural connection to the Spanish language. This is a comprehensive program that is designed to accommodate students at all phases of learning: from true beginners to those who are more fluent and are polishing their skills. By drawing upon our connection to the language, we make the study of Spanish more relevant to SHL learners; this serves as a significant motivating factor in language learning.

En este curso exploraremos esa representación de la dictadura como acontecimiento político y social dentro de la literatura, la música, la pintura, e incluiremos el cine y cualquier otra forma creativa que de fe de este fenómeno y los elementos que lo caracterizan. Prerequisite: SPAN 302 and 307 SPAN : Literature and Art from the Caribbean Professor: Eleuterio Santiago-Diaz TR 9:30-10:45 PM This course focuses on Spanish Caribbean literature to explore its dialogues with other artistic expressions such as painting, music, film, and photography. Through the study of a selection of writers who have attempted to define Caribbean culture, we will discuss salient themes in Caribbean artistic production: colonialism, identity, migration, negritude, syncretism, and utopias, among others. Pre-requisites: SPAN 302 & 307 SPAN : Improving Your Writing and Research in Spanish Professor: Kathryn McKnight TR 12:30-1:45 PM In this semester-long writing workshop, students will improve their persuasive and expressive writing in Spanish. Students will set goals based on individual language-needs assessment and personal and career aspirations. The class is appropriate for native, heritage, and second-language learners who have completed SPAN 302 and SPAN 307 or the equivalent. We will generate topics for research and writing around themes and case studies of global connection and social and environmental justice. Students will improve their ability to develop persuasive arguments, advocacy, and expressive texts informed by research and the thoughtful use of primary and secondary sources. Students will focus on a combination of objectives determined by individual needs: these may include fluency, accuracy, vocabulary building, style, organization, coherence, elaboration and support of opinion, and bibliographical citation. Grades will be based on individual improvement, class participation, engagement in peer review, a series of short writing assignments and a final ten-page research paper. Prerequisite: SPAN 302 and 307 SPAN : Medical Spanish II Professor: Verónica Plaza TR 12:30-1:45 PM The course provide a learning environment where students can learn to conduct medical encounters in Spanish through a portfolio of clinical cases with social, emotional, and physical dimensions using role plays, case analysis and public health data. The reading list explores the role of narrative in improving understanding of patients and the patient experience in the health-illness process. The course uses a combination of problem based and team based learning methodology. Pre-requisite: Medical Spanish 301. SPAN : Mujeres transgresoras/méxico Professor: Patricia Rosas Lopategui En este curso estudiaremos algunas de las figuras femeninas más relevantes de la cultura mexicana que han rebasado las fronteras y continúan impactando la identidad de las mujeres en pleno siglo XXI. Haremos un recorrido histórico comenzando con la trascendencia de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz para conectarla con las productoras de cultura en la vanguardia mexicana (Nahui Olin, Antonieta Rivas Mercado, Nellie Campobello); con las transgresoras del México posrevolucionario (Guadalupe Dueñas, Elena Garro); con las creadoras del Medio siglo (Rosario Castellanos, Amparo Dávila) y llegar a las mujeres irreverentes del presente milenio (Silvia Molina, Cristina Rivera Garza y Carmina Narro).

14 13 SPAN : Chicano(a) Latino(a) Humor Professor: Santiago Vaquera TR 11:00-12:15 PM Through a discussion of different genres, we will focus on how humor can be used as a strategy to resist and undermine stereotypes, talk back to forms of power, and, in general, open up a space for contesting controlling ideologies. Prerequisite: SPAN 302 and 307 UNDERGRADUATE PORTUGUESE COURSES PORT / : Brazilian Culture: Beginning Approaches to Afrobrazilian Culture Professor: Leila Lehnen TR 2:00-3:15 PM This course focuses on the contributions of Afrobrazilians to Brazilian society. We will discuss a broad range of themes related to Afrobrazilians and Afrobrazilian culture. In addition, we will look at different types of cultural and social expressions that have emerged within Brazil that deal with Afrobrazilian culture. Students will learn about how slavery impacted Brazilian society and culture, how resistance to slavery and racism was enacted and what are the issues that Afrobrazilians are grappling with today. This course will also introduce the students to the techniques of literary/textual/cultural analysis focusing on the production of Afrobrazilian writers, artists, and activists as well as of authors/cultural producers more generally that have broached Afrobrazilian culture. This course is meant as a bridge course to prepare students for 400 level content courses. Prerequisite: PORT 276 or 277 PORT / : Portuguese Heritage Communities Professor: Margo Milleret MW 4:00-5:15 PM This course will examine the histories and experiences of immigrant groups from the Portuguese speaking world to the USA. Course materials will consist of histories, social science research, literary works, and films. Additional materials include photographs and interviews with Portuguese-speaking immigrants from the greater Boston area. Many of the materials for the class are in English, but not all of them. The class will be conducted in Portuguese and English. Course assignments will include oral presentations, exams, and daily homework. Graduate students will have additional assignments. Prerequisite: Port 311 or 312 GRADUATE SPANISH COURSES SPAN : Spanish Peninsular Post-War Novel Professor: Susan Rivera Th 4:00-6:30 PM En este curso se estudiarán algunas de las novelas más representativas de la narrativa española que surge después de la guerra civil ( ). Empezaremos con el renacer de la novela de los cuarenta que refleja el ambiente degradado de la posguerra representado por el tremendismo de La familia de Pascual Duarte (Cela) y Nada (Laforet), que luego desembocará en la renovación lírica/existencialista de los años cincuenta vista en La colmena (Cela), considerada el modelo de la novela neorrealista. Después estudiaremos las obras de los años sesenta y setenta que marcan el cambio definitivo de la narrativa española y la elevan a la altura de la europea. En Tiempo de silencio (Martín Santos), Cinco horas con Mario (Delibes), Últimas tardes con Teresa (Marsé), El mismo mar de todos los veranos (Tusquets) y la metanovela El cuarto de atrás (Martín Gaite) se logra someter la realidad a una profunda revisión e interpretación intelectual, a unos esquemas míticos y a una sorprendente --en España-- renovación experimental de las técnicas narrativas y del componente lingüístico. El enfoque de cada texto se basará en corrientes estéticas y se contextualizarán dentro de un marco socio-histórico.

15 14 SPAN : Modernism Movement in Spanish-American Poetry Professor: Eleuterio Santiago-Diaz M 4:00-6:30 PM This course examines Modernism as a literary movement that revolutionized the form and content of literary production in Latin America at the end of the 19th century, and as the first intellectual response to modernity in the region. Authors to be read include José Martí, Rubén Darío, Julián del Casal, Delmira Agustini, María Eugenia Vaz Herrera, Leopoldo Lugones, y Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera. SPAN : Spanish Phonology Professor: Richard File-Muriel T 4:00-6:30 PM In this course we examine current issues in laboratory approaches to Spanish phonology and Spanish Sociophonetics. This course begins with a review of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and then looks at a number of phonological processes that are routinely examined in different varieties of Spanish; knowledge of these processes can be employed to distinguish between the major dialectal zones of the Spanish-speaking world. We will use the recommended textbooks (Hualde or Schwegler) to identify how these processes are categorized in traditional phonological terms, while the majority of readings will employ instrumental analysis of phonetic variables. The majority of readings will deal with Spanish, but readings on other languages (Romance and non-romance) may occasionally be assigned. This class will also have a strong laboratory component, in which students will use Praat and complete short assignments with acoustic analyses to complement the readings. Upon completion of this course, students should gain a strong understanding of the phonological processes in the Spanish language, know how to describe them, and be able to use Praat to carry out acoustical analysis. SPAN : Functional Syntax Professor: Rosa Vallejos Yopan W 4:00-6:30 PM This course deals with major issues in Spanish syntax from a functional-typological perspective. According to this view, the patterns of language can ultimately be explained with reference to either cognitive functions of communication or to universals in the evolution of grammar. Our analysis of the syntactic patterns found in Spanish will be informed by an examination of the diversity of grammatical constructions across languages, with an eye on what structural generalizations hold crosslinguistically, and what these generalizations tell us about the nature of language. We will discuss how Spanish voice constructions, possessive constructions, clause combining mechanisms, constituent order alternations, alignment systems, double indirect object marking, among others, fit within current syntactic typologies. SPAN : Language Learning Classroom Research Professor: Eva Rodriguez Gonzalez M 4:00-6:30 PM This course introduces graduate students to classroom-based research as a method of improving language teaching and learning at the postsecondary level. The course is designed to prepare students to critically evaluate published research in Spanish/Portuguese second/third language acquisition and to design their own research studies. Students will gain hands-on experience doing research in college classrooms and/or other college learning environments. The course will examine strengths and challenges of different approaches to classroom research, as well as ethical issues. Students will be trained on how to ethically conduct research involving human subjects. We will search for and posit research questions, evaluate and decide on the appropriate type of research (quantitative vs. qualitative) and examine the full range of testing tools (from linguistic surveys to (in)formal interviews to quasi experimental studies). Students will develop their own testing tools and conduct their own experiments on a topic that is of interest to them. SPAN : Discourse Analysis Professor: Holly Jacobson TR 11:00-12:30 PM The aim of this course is to introduce students to the study of discourse in real-world contexts, focusing on both written and oral language use. The analysis of discourse contributes to our knowledge of how language is used to negotiate meaning in interaction, considering the social and cultural contexts in which the discourse is embedded. The course will introduce major theoretical frameworks and current issues in discourse analysis, and demonstrate the relevance and usefulness of discourse studies to the field of linguistics. Each participant is

16 15 expected to conduct small research projects on a particular topic or topics in discourse analysis, using elicited or natural data collected during the semester. Class readings will focus on a wide range of topics, including discourse structure; participants; genre analysis, discourse and medium; pragmatic and politeness conventions; transcription and methods of data analysis. This course is intended to be an introductory course for students who are taking their first or only course in discourse analysis. SPAN : Borderland Popular Cultures 3cr. hrs. Professor: Santiago Vaquera T 4:00-6:30 PM Through the examination of novels, film, performance art, graphic art, and music, this course considers the role of popular and culture in the US/Mexico borderlands in creating diverse worlds or imaginative geographies to talk about cultural contact. SPAN : Mexican American Cultural Studies Methodology 3cr. hrs. Professor: Anna Nogar Th 4:00-6:30 PM This graduate-level course presents a survey of contemporary Mexican American cultural studies research, as well as an introduction to critical concepts of cultural studies methodology, with the idea of understanding how these methodologies are applied in specific studies. In addition to selections from works by cultural studies critics Stuart Hall, Clifford Geertz and Renato Rosaldo, among many others, we will read complete texts implementing Mexican American cultural studies methodologies by Américo Paredes, José Limón, Domino Pérez, Enrique Lamadrid, Gabriel Meléndez, Gloria Anzaldúa, and Michael Trujillo (entre otros). Several of these latter readings are among those forming the Hispanic Southwest Studies MA curriculum. Students may anticipate a brisk reading schedule, in-class presentations, guest presentations, and an extensive final project. Readings in Spanish and English; assignments and discussion in Spanish.

SPAN : Mujeres y negros en la colonia 3cr. hrs. Professor: Kathryn McKnight TR 2:00-3:15 PM We will examine how members of both dominant and subordinated groups in the Ibero-American colonies constructed identities around difference, specifically categories embedded in discourses of (female) gender and (African-related) race. We will also consider how European and Afro-Latina women and Afro-Latino men inserted their voices into colonial discourses as they participated in the configuration of colonial societies. Our analysis will be informed by theoretical, critical, and historiographical scholarship. We will study both canonical ( MA list ) and non-canonical texts. Canonical authors will include Bartolomé de las Casas, Felipe Guaman Poma, Inca Garcilaso, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Juan del Valle y Caviedes, and Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora. Noncanonical texts will include spiritual diaries, judicial inquiries, petitions, wills and testaments, inquisition testimonies, letters, and written dialogue. Students will be required to complete readings, participate in and lead class discussions, write brief response papers, give oral presentations, take one cumulative exam, and write a research paper.

17 16 SPAN /PORT : Human Rights in Latin America Film 3cr. hrs. Professor: Jeremy Lehnen Th 4:00-6:30 PM This course will survey questions related to the intersections between human rights and the humanities, specifically film. Within contemporary society, film and the mediatic image are increasingly central to social relations, interceding at a symbolic level to depict what is socially (and at times politically) permissible. In this course, we will focus on film to gain an understanding of how cinema can serve as a space of contestation to state power, dominant / official discourse, as well as an arena to expand understandings and applications of human rights at the global, local and personal levels. The approach to human rights will be through a broad lens of norms and movements. Students will gain an overview of core human rights literature and how human rights are defined and deployed in contemporary society. This course will be organized around thematic nodes (dictatorship, official and extra official violence, sexual minorities ). Each module will concentrate on a specific region / country in Latin America so as to ground the human rights issues both geo-politically and historically.
