Researching Cultures: The Stuff of Legends: Remembering and Recreating the Past in the Hispanic Wor

Researching Cultures: The Stuff of Legends: Remembering and Recreating the Past in the Hispanic World. In this course we will study various versions of some of the most memorable legends that populate the imagination of Hispanic people in both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. We will study these narratives as they have evolved through time, depending on the contexts and media on which they are told, and we will compare their written versions with their transformations into plays, movies, comics and artistic renderings. To inspire our discussions, we will use the support of some key theories both past and present about emotions, and how these can contribute to our ability to memorize and retrieve the stories we love to remember. This course has a substantial, mandatory, and graded written communications component and is taught in Spanish. It also fulfills the Writing Intensive (WI) requirement for Arts and Sciences students. Prereq. Spanish 303 and at least one Debating Cultures (32XX). Students who have taken more than four Spanish Debating/Researching classes are not allowed in this course and must proceed to a Major Seminar (4XX).
