Viewed from the outside, the French-speaking world offers enticing images of beauty, pleasure, and freedom.

Spanish Through Film — SPA4222.01

Instructor: Jonathan Pitcher
Days & Time: MO,WE,TH 8:30am-9:50am
Credits: 4

Students with burgeoning linguistic skills will learn the language through an immersion in Latin American and Spanish film in the second half of this full-year introduction to the Spanish-speaking world. While there will be some discussion of more common tactics such as stylistic nuances, script-writing, acting, dubbing, and directors’ biographies, it is expected that we will continue to develop sufficient linguistic ability to focus on cinematographic and social movements, thus treating the films as ideologemes, representations of political import.
