SPA 430 - Cultural Icons of the Hispanic World

3-0-3

This course explores how major icons of the Hispanic world are understood and how they are represented today in literature, mythology and history, film, the plastic arts, and popular culture.

Icons to be studied will vary based on professorial preferences, examples include Don Quijote, Don Juan, Sor Juana, la Celestina, la Virgen de Guadalupe, Moctezuma, Salvador Dali, Che Guevara, Fransisco Franco, Frida Kahlo, etc. This course may be repeated for maximum of 6 credit hours, provided the topics vary.
