Hispanic visual and literary cultures

Elective Course

This course explores the combined study of manifestations of visual culture such as television series and films, and texts such as short stories and poems with a view towards understanding contemporary Latin American and Spanish societies and improving students’ level of Spanish. Texts are contextualized within their socio-historical milieux and topics are selected with a view towards gender and ethnic balance. Classes are organized thematically to allow for the combined study and comparison of texts created in different media. The course follows a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach and Spanish is the medium of instruction.
