Taught in Spanish. This course will serve as an introduction to various aspects of daily life and culture in Latin Ameri- can countries from early times to the present. We will exp- lore the question of the Latin-American identity: What is - Latin America and who are the Latin Americans? We will consider some of the significant intellectual, artistic, historical, and sociopolitical movements that have shaped Latin America since the beginning of its history. Major pe- riods to be examined will be the pre-Columbian civilization, the "Conquista" and the colonial empire, the independence movements and the contemporary period. Students will become familiarized with major issues and institutions of Latin Am- erica as represented in contemporary Latin American essays, films, art, music, short stories, plays and novels.
