SPAN 370 - Intro Lit Analysis & Criticism

3 Credit Hours
SPAN 370 is an advanced course for students who have taken SPAN 300 and/or SPAN 301 and are preparing to take a 400-level literature course. In the class, we will read selections of different cononical and non-cononical works by Spanish and Latin American authors and learn how to apply a series of distinct literary analytical tools that stem from–but are not limited to–a variety of theoretical perspectives (including postcolonial, feminist, neoliberal, and marxist points of reference, for example). The unique characteristics of each individual literary genre (poetry, the novel, the short story, the essay, and theatre) will also be studied, as well as the history of literary criticism in Spain and Latin America.
