This course utilizes various texts, short stories, and films by selected Latin American authors and film makers from Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Cuba, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.  Students will gain an appreciation for a new, different, literary and visual tradition and the skill with which this tradition is narrated.  This six-week course aims at offering views on contemporary Argentina and Latin America, its culture, social and artistic processes, and the modern images of Latin America and its people.  

 

COURSES IN SPANISH

Students may earn three or six UHM Spanish language credits at the 100-, 200-, 300-, or 400-levels. Students gain listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in standard Spanish. In addition, lectures on civilization and culture will be given. Classes meet four hours a day, five days a week, for the entire duration of the program. The Spanish language courses do not replicate any of the course offerings at the Manoa campus. The language and culture opportunities "in-country" will supplement rather than duplicate current UHM Spanish language offerings. Courses are led by UNC faculty qualified to teach Spanish to English-speaking students.
