Entrance Requirements:
A-Level/Level 2 Spanish Module to be taught in Spanish

Module Description:
Taught in Spanish, this module provides you (if you have A-level Spanish equivalent) with the opportunity to engage with the target language through a range of key cultural and literary texts. It introduces you to different aspects of Spanish and Latin American studies by focusing on history, culture, politics, arts and society.
On completion of the course, students should be able to engage critically with key events of the Spanish-speaking world and identify its historical, geographical and cultural diversity.
The central theme of this course will be the ways in which works of art either contribute or subvert the formation of the Spanish empire from the late fifteenth century to the eighteenth century. There will be an emphasis on the relations between politics, religion, „race‟ and the visual form. Primary texts to be examined will include the works by Spanish and Mexican painters: Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), Juan de Pareja (c.1606-1670), Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) and Juan Rodríguez Juárez (1675-1728).

Description:
This module, aimed at advanced learners or native speakers of
Spanish, focuses on the study of the use of Spanish in interaction
from a sociocultural perspective. Students will be introduced to
some of the theories that deal with language use in the management

and will look at their application to a range of topics (e.g. personal
address, speech act realization, etc.). They will also engage with
descriptive techniques in the field and methodological issues. The
module aims to bring awareness of micro- and macro-social factors
that have an impact on language use, drawing on various subfields,
including intercultural, variational and internet pragmatics.
Syllabus:
Sample topics
- Language as action and the role of context in the interpretation of
meaning
- From expressed to implied meanings

Picturing the African Presence in Early Modern Spain
Module Code:
(TBC)
Credits/Level: 30 / 6
Convenor: Dr Carmen Fracchia
Lecturer(s): Dr Carmen Fracchia
Entrance Requirements:
No pre-requisites. Course taught in English
Day/Time:
Friday 6.00-7.30 pm
Module Description:
The central theme of this course will be the ways in which the visual
form (mainly painting) responds to the African presence in early
modern Spain from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century. The core
of this module will be the relations between religion, concepts of
human diversity („race‟) and the visual form. It will mainly explore the
effects that African slavery, the process of manumission or freedom
of slaves, and the foundation of black confraternities had in the
articulations of the visual form. We will consider a series of crucial
events that had an impact on the emergence of these images, such
the conquest and imperial expansion in Africa and in the New World;
the transatlantic slave trade, the workings of the Inquisition and the
imperial policies of purity of blood; and, the Catholic Reformation.
Primary texts to be examined will include the seventeenth-century
paintings by the Afro-Hispanic slaves Juan de Pareja and Sebastián
Gómez and by their slave-owners Diego Velázquez and Bartolomé
Murillo.

We will explore the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural nature of language and cultural study by focusing on different kinds of text – literary, filmic, historical, visual – from a variety of different cultural contexts: French-, German-, Portuguese and Spanish-speaking.

Module Description:
Taking the interrelationship between film and politics as its central theme, the course organizes its materials around the phenomenon of fascism, a dominant twentieth-century experience within each of the three cultures on which it primarily focuses: France, Germany and Spain. Dividing its material into a variety of sections, including film and proto-fascism, film and trauma, representing the war, representing the Holocaust, resisting fascism, and (mis)representing the past, the course aims to help you investigate: a) the ways in which film can reflect on political developments both as they happen and in retrospect; b) how film can itself become a political instrument and whose purposes it can serve; c) how film can help to redefine the political. The course also aims to help you understand the relationship between individual films and the time and place of their production and to develop your film analytical skills.

Entrance Requirements:
No language requirement other than English
Day/Time: Mondays, 6.00-9.00, Term 3
Module Description:
This module is designed to help you explore the ways in which culture relates to the ideas of the nation and the transnational by encouraging you to work with cultural artefacts which engage with more than one cultural context. We will ask questions like: how important/restricting it is to explore culture within a national context; what does a text need to do to be described as transnational; can our understanding of these categories be transformed by our engagement with literary and filmic texts; what are some of the multiple ways in which a text can engage with more than one culture; are these always liberating and transformative or can they also be oppressive and reactionary; how important is language to these questions; do texts have to be monolingual or does transnationality require an engagement with more than one language? We will work together as experts in different cultural contexts to explore these ideas in relation to specific texts.
