Fall 2025
Spanish surrealism emerged unevenly. Some writers and artists sought out the surrealist label while others rejected or ignored it altogether. Some attempted to adhere to André Breton’s “Surrealist Manifesto” while others went decidedly against its principles. Yet surrealism, in one way or another, took over the Spanish artistic scene during the 1920s and ’30s. Today, it is associated with Federico García Lorca, Salvador Dalí, and Luis Buñuel. Friends, roommates, and even lovers, Lorca, Dalí, and Buñuel came to define surrealism’s acceptance, rejection, and indifference in Spain. This seminar will examine the moment of Spanish surrealism through these three figures. The course will include the study of film, art, drama, poetry, and nonfiction. Taught in Spanish.

Manifesto: Literary and Social Activisms in Latin America
F 12:00PM - 2:30PM
Nogueira, Marcelo
Fall 2025
Manifestos have been instrumental in shaping cultural, political, and social landscapes. Moving through and beyond the literary canon, this course examines manifestos as distinctive literary artifacts that intertwine art, politics, and calls to action, deeply reflecting the times and ideals from which they emerged. Focusing on Latin America, this interdisciplinary course examines the evolution of the manifesto as a discursive genre in the region. It traces its trajectory from the early 20th-century literary and artistic avant-gardes to the new contemporary forms of social, ecological, and political activism. The course includes a broad survey of cultural artifacts contextualized within historical and contemporary perspectives on identity, politics, ethics, aesthetics, nature, human and non-human rights, and social justice. Our classes will encompass texts from various countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and others. The course integrates insights from diverse fields such as poetics, philosophy, literary studies, sound and media studies, design, and typography. This course will be conducted in Spanish, with reading and writing assignments accepted in Spanish and Portuguese, which will be encouraged and warmly welcomed. This is is the 600-level version of the undergrad course, with directed reading and grad-specific assignments in addition to the undergrad coursework.

Public Humanities Writing Workshop
T 3:30PM - 5:30PM
Lurtz, Casey Marina
Gilman 490
Fall 2025
Humanists possess a reservoir of scholarly abilities that prime them for contributing to debates well beyond the academy. This semester-long workshop will introduce graduate students to the basics of writing for such broad audience. Each session will be organized around particular topics in public humanities writing, including the pitching, writing, editing, and publishing processes of newspapers, magazines, and online outlets. We will also consider the forms of writing that most allow scholars to draw from their academic training and research: reviews, personal essays, op-eds, interviews, and profiles. Throughout the course we will see how the interdisciplinarity, comparativism, and multilingualism of fields from across the humanities can be helpful for reaching wide audiences. Beyond the nuts and bolts of getting started in so-called “public” writing, this course aspires to teach graduate students how to combine quality writing with academic knowledge, scholarly analysis with a general intellectual readership—and, ultimately, make academic knowledge a public good. Taught in English.

This course revisits the Latinx canon and problematizes distinctions such as “high” and “low” culture. You will read authors beloved in Latinx literature such as Sandra Cisneros, Cristina Garcia, Piri Thomas, and Oscar Acosta to investigate the ways the field has, by necessity, championed progressive politics over what we would call “high literature.” Placing these canonical authors in conversation with more recent “better” writers like Carmen Maria Machado, Justin Torres, Manuel Muñoz, Juno Díaz, and Ruben Reyes, this course will also delve into aesthetic theory (Kant, Adorno, Ponce de León, Benjamin, Gikandi), to ask what is “good” literature? Spanish Majors and Minors should register for Section 2 of this course.

Spring 2026
Although the modern discipline of psychology was not formalized until the late 1800s, the mind and human behavior had been subjects of intense curiosity for centuries. In early modern Europe, painters, physicians, philosophers, and writers of fiction explored the psychological dimensions of experience from manifold perspectives. The Renaissance brought a renewed interest in physiognomy and humoral theory, as well as the growth of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and practices of dissection and observation. Meanwhile, the literary and visual arts were also experimenting with new forms of understanding and representing interiority, the emotions, and mental faculties and illnesses. This undergraduate seminar will study these scientific and cultural movements before the consolidation of modern psychology, seeking to understand them within their sixteenth- and seventeenth-century milieus while establishing links with interdisciplinary concerns of today. Class will be conducted in Spanish. Taught in Spanish. (If AS.210.311 was not taken, student may submit an SPE score: https://krieger.jhu.edu/modern-languages-literatures/spanish-and-portuguese/undergraduate/get-started/)

The African Diaspora in Early Modern Iberia
WF 12:00PM - 1:15PM
Johnson, Paul Michael
Gilman 381
Spring 2026
Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain was home to a sizeable Black African, Afro-diasporic, and Afro-descendant population that scholarship has only recently begun to acknowledge substantively. The historical legacy of these communities reveals that Afro-Iberians, enslaved as well as free, experienced often violent forms of racial discrimination and oppression, but that they also contributed meaningfully to a shared cultural landscape of art, literature, drama, dance, and music. Early modern writers of fiction likewise depicted Afro-diasporic characters not only as servants but also as sovereigns, soldiers, scholars, and saints. This advanced undergraduate seminar will grapple with these ambivalences by surveying a wide, multidisciplinary range of cultural products. In surveying the historical and literary complexities of the African diaspora in early modern Iberia, we will ask how these communities were subjected to the violence of empire, colonialism, racism, human trafficking, and enslavement, while at the same time generating creative vectors of pride, freedom, agency, and resistance. Class will be conducted in Spanish.

This seminar presents a transnational history of Latin American cinema from the 1960s to the present, with a special regard to its global influence. Starting with the Cuban Revolution and the subsequent founding of its film institute ICAIC, we'll examine how politics and aesthetics shape each other. We'll discuss the manifestos and films of the so-called New Latin American Cinema, including Tercer Cine, Cine Imperfecto, and Cinema Novo; the filmography made during the continent's various dictatorships; and post-dictatorship debates on memory. We'll also engage with a recent theoretical and cinematic production on gender, sexuality, the non-human, and new cinematic postcolonial approaches.
