Students who enroll in levels 1-11 of language must enroll in two courses, a 1.00 course (3 hours per week) and an accompanying .25 praxis (one hour per week). Four hours of study per week has been the norm since the language requirement was instituted, so there is no change practically speaking. The new college-wide credit-contact hour policy mandates that we offer these as 1.25 courses rather than 1.00 for these four hours.

104-01 Workshop in translation L. Spicher TU TH 8:00-9:35 a.m. This workshop in translation is an introduction to the linguistic and aesthetic aspects of translation and emphasizes hands-on learning. While studying the history and theories of translation, we will practice both English to Spanish and Spanish to English translation. The course will explore translation as process, and translation as product, and we will practice with various techniques of translation. We approach translation of various genres and types of texts, both literary and technical. We will put our study of theory and technique into a real-world situation working with a campus office to help with its translation needs. Fulfills Community Engagement of the CORE. As such, we will integrate the practices inherent in such courses. Namely, we will apply what we learn in class to assist in a service-learning partnership with a community partner.

130-01 Special Topics in Hispanic Literary Studies Á. Ramirez MWF 10:30-11:35 a.m. The Third Cultural Root: Race in Mexican Literature and Film Most people don't view race as an issue in Mexico since they see Mexicans as mestizos, a mixture of Indian and Spanish. However, this concept is problematic because in reality, it downplays the Indigenous part and, more importantly, it omits the third cultural root that forms mestizaje: the Afro-Mexicans. In this course, we will explore how Afro-Mexicans have contributed to the cultural formation of Mexico but have been essentially erased in the nation, marginalized to living as second-class Mexicans in communities far from large urban centers. We will also focus on the Indigenous people that are still negated and oppressed in a country that takes pride in its ancient native roots. Through films such as La negra Angustias, Amar te duele, La negrada; essays and short stories from authors Rosario Castellanos, Elena Poniatowska, Maria Luisa Puga, Octavio Paz, among others, students will be able to analyze issues of race that are deeply ingrained in the Mexican social fabric. They will also learn about the ways in which Afro-Mexican and Indigenous people are now demanding recognition and full membership in a society that has negated them since colonial times. Course will be taught in English. Fulfills Global Perspectives of the CORE. 132-01 Special Topics in Hispanic Cultural Studies M. Ruiz MWF 2:45-3:50 p.m. Brains, Brows and Beauties: Icons in Latin American Popular Culture Political figure Eva Perón (Evita), actress Carmen Miranda, artist/activist Frida Kahlo and singer Selena Quintanilla are just some of the many women from Latinx and Latin American communities that have reached iconic status, largely thanks to the power of cinema, television screens, and social media. In this course, we will look at the ways mainstream media and popular culture in both the US and Latin America have helped transform key figures into popular cultural icons.
