USGG 1013 - World Civilization I: World Civilization to 1500 (0 Credit Hours)
Lecture Hours: 0 Lab Hours: 0
This course presents an overview of World Civilization from late antiquity through the Middle Ages by focusing on a period in history that was both unique and transformative in the development of the Iberian Peninsula and Northwest Africa. This course will adhere to a format that blends of chronological and thematic history, based on the Spanish concept of convivencia, or coexistence, for Christians, Muslims, and Jews, while often at odds, traded, married, and
existed side by side in fields and towns for centuries. We will be examining the topics of migration/invasion, cross-cultural exchange, and finally, reconquest. In the first part of the semester, students will learn about the Hispano-Romans who inhabited ancient Iberia, leaving their mark on the language and culture of the peninsula. The migration of the Vandals eventually disrupted Roman control of the region, as they continued their push into North Africa. The
Visigoth invasion of Iberia can be perceived as a reconquest, for they considered themselves inheritors of the Roman Empire. During this period, the Visigoths preserved much of what could be considered classical culture. The Visigoths eventually succumbed to the Muslim invasion of Spain in 711, ushering in a new period of cross- cultural pollination (cultural blending). The Reconquista, as a concept, has been a topic of great historiographical debate; however, it will be
taught as a long-term and continuous process that eventually culminated in the conquest of the Kingdom of Granada in 1492, the very same year that Columbus set sail on his voyage of discovery.

USGG 2094 - World Literature II: Road Trip Buddies, Sea Voyages, and Migrant Dreams (0 Credit Hours)
The Iberian Peninsula is a gateway to international travel. It has been occupied by the Celts, the Romans, Moorish Muslims and Napoleon. It’s home to the Camino de Santiago, a famous pilgrimage trail, and it was the place from which navigators launched the navel explorations that would initiate the Age of Discovery and European expansion. Inspired by Spain and Portugal’s place in international history and culture, this class will explore world literature through the lens
of travel, migration and movement. We’ll start off by looking at 15th and 16th-century narratives of travel on foot and then at literature of the sea. After that, our readings will explore contact, encounter and conflict as we travel from the 17th to the 19th century with explorers and colonizers. Finally, we’ll listen to the voices of people who were impacted by travel, including the enslaved, the colonized and the revolutionaries.

USGG 3240 - The Short Story- Short Shorts: A Summer of Short Fiction and Film (0 Credit Hours)
The famous gothic author, Edgar Allan Poe, claims that short stories have a unique type of power: “During the hour or so of perusal the soul of the reader is at the writer’s control. There are no external or extrinsic influences.” Unlike novels, which may take days or weeks to get through, most short stories can be read in less than an hour. In an era when digital media and internet technology appear to whittle away at our attention spans, the value of short stories only
intensifies.
In this course, we’ll spend several summer weeks exploring the short story genre as an international phenomenon. What can a short story communicate that a novel or play cannot? What are the major characteristics of the short story and how do they help the story to speak to Figure 1: Clockwise. Book cover (Barnes and Noble Nook Book); 1953 Film poster (animated short, dir. Ted Parmelee); Screen shot from “El Corazón Delator” (dir. Alfonso Suarez) its readers? How have authors around the world used the short story to push the boundaries of fiction-writing? How did the short story lead to microfiction, and what is the future of short fiction more generally?
In order to discuss these and other questions about the genre of short fiction, we will compare the short story to yet another genre: the short film. Throughout the semester, we will read short stories and then juxtapose the print versions with film adaptations. The original stories on the syllabus come from all over the world. Even better-the film versions are often made by people who come from countries other than those of the original authors. These international adaptations reflect the way that literature and film frequently gain appreciation in a wide audience, regardless of their original languages. We will discuss many types of short writing: comedy, suspense, realism, surrealism, science fiction, children’s fiction and internet fiction. We will read stories meant to make you cry, stories meant to make you laugh and stories mean.
