Irakasgaiaren Azalpena eta Testuingurua zehazteaToggle Navigation

This course is offered in the second semester of the Fourth year. Its main goal is to to provide students with an overview of the literary, artistic and cultural production of ethnic “minority groups” in the United States. For this purpose, students will look at the way the artistic production of these communities portrays themes such as life in America, the history of the group, social relationships, and other basic themes and concepts for the construction of their group identities. Students should develop critical understanding of these bodies of literature, as well as familiarity with the field of ethnic studies, upon which we will base many of our readings of the literary works.

MetodologiaToggle Navigation

The course is intended as a fully practical one. The first weeks of the course will be devoted to developing a group project, where students will work on a different aspect of the ethnic communities we will we dealing with. The second part of the course will aim at analysing several literary and visual texts, paying special attention to the issue of representation. Thus, students will have to prepare some GROUP PRESENTATIONS ON DIFFERENT HISTORICAL ISSUES that will serve as a contextualisation of the literary bodies we will be working on. Moreover, students will have to propose a CLOSE READING OF A GIVEN TEXT and bring it to class for discussion in pairs. Thus, students will have to work in two ways:



- group work on specific historical, contextual issues

- pair work on specific literary texts
