FC ARHU CD

4 credits
The Spanish Empire in Europe and America was built not only through the rule of kings, conquistadors, and missionaries, but also by subjects that often crossed the boundaries of lineage, gender, and religion, challenging established norms and categories. Focusing on a cast of deviant characters–including adventurers, tricksters and cross-dressers–this course provides an introduction to early modern Spanish American literature and culture. Taught in Spanish. Prerequisite: HISP 304 or equivalent.
