  An analysis and interpretation of the complete text of Don Quijote de la Mancha, with attention given to Cervantes' use of irony (burla) as the keystone of his artifice. Keeping in mind the historical and cultural background of the text, we will examine how Cervantes' writings (El Quijote, Entremeses, Novelas Ejemplare) hinge on a parodic game that entails a process of encoding and decoding, one which has a demystifying power upon reality.

  How is history portrayed in literature? How may literature be used to search for a greater, or alternative, historical "truths"? How might historical events be used to contemplate more intimate concerns and problems? These and other questions will be explored as this class examines some of the many historical novels produced both at the beginning of the 20th century and today in Latin America. We will study how authors use history to explore problems of narration, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, subjectivity, and the nation.

  Enrollment limited to 35
  This course examines major works of Japanese crime literature and film from the works of Edogawa Rampo, known as the father of crime fiction in Japan, to those of contemporary writers to explore social and moral issues reflected in them. While Japanese writers and filmmakers of this genre readily acknowledge Western influences, the literary and cinematic explorations of crime in Japan have also developed ona trajectory of their own, producing works that are easily distinguishable from those of other cultures. The course will also consider the mixing of the crime genre with others, such as ghost and science fiction genres. Works studied in this course include those of Edogawa Rampo, Akira Kurosawa, Miyuki Miyabe, Seicho Matsumoto, and Kobo Abe, as well as yakuza movies. Readings and discussion in English.

7170 ITAL-233-02 Mafia 1.00 LEC Alcorn,John MWF: 10:00AM-10:50AM LIB - MUS&MED GLB2  
  Enrollment limited to 10
  NOTE: All seats in this class are reserved for students who have declared Italian Studies Majors or Minors.
  In contemporary societies there is an intimate contest between two kinds of social order: The rule of law and criminal organization. A remarkable instance may be found in the workings and metamorphoses of the Mafia. From its origins in Sicily, an agrarian society on the periphery of Europe, the Mafia has acquired intercontinental dimensions and a grip on high politics and finance capital. This shadowy phenomenon has been approached and explained in very different ways by historians, anthropologists, sociologists, economists, and political scientists. It has also been the subject of literature and film. We shall discuss outstanding examples of each approach and treatment. The purposes of the course are to make sense of the Mafia, to explore a basic problem of social order and to compare the different styles of reasoning and representation that characterize the various disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. Course requirements: Two short papers and a term paper. Lectures and coursework will be in English. (Listed as both LACS 233-17 and ITAL 233-02.)

Film screenings will be in Italian with English subtitles. Lectures and coursework will be in English. Students wishing to apply this course toward the major in Italian must secure permission of the instructor. They will complete their assignments in Italian and meet with the instructor in supplementary sessions. Faithful attendance is required. (Listed as both LACS 233-05 and ITAL 290-01.)

  Enrollment limited to 30
  A controversial issue in national politics, immigration and the constant shuffle of ideas and goods along the US/Mexico border to which NAFTA contributed in 1994 fueled the dreams, hopes, and fears associated with open markets, porous borders, and the coexistence of diverse societies. Drawing on a variety of texts, including Iberian, Latin American, and Latino literature, history, cartography, and film, in this course we inquire into the theoretical and social questions arising from border crossings of various types. These encompass, though are not limited to, the policing and transgression of linguistic, religious, ideological, and sexual boundaries. Among the course texts are included accounts of the clashes arising between Spanish soldiers and Amerindian societies in literary and cartographic texts, Chicana/o literature (G. Anzaldua), novels about violence, sex, terror and romantic love in Juarez and Tijuana (L. H. Crosthwaite’s The Moon Will Forever Be a Distant Love and Roberto Bolaño's 2666: A Novel), documentaries, and a futuristic film featuring cyborg immigrant workers in maquila-dream factories (Sleep dealer). Conducted in English, this course satisfies the humanities requirement and can be counted toward the Spanish major (enroll as Hisp. 233)

  Enrollment limited to 100
  This course offers a detailed and varied exploration of Tolstoy's greatest fiction. Writer and prophet, aristocrat and socialist, moralist and hedonist, Tolstoy contained a bundle of contradictions in a mind of artistic genius.

Tolstoy's youth, military service, marriage, religious conversion, and contentious relations with those around him will be discussed in connection with his literary art.
