SPN-110 Lat Id-Media Cul & Myths

This course will explore the agenda behind the manipulation of the Latinx experience in the media, how this contributes to the perpetuation of stereotypes, and how these myths affect the notions of self-identity. Examples of songs, T.V. shows, literary fiction, and other cultural manifestations will be incorporated into the course in order to examine the bias and flaws embedded in literature, the media, institutionalized discourses, and other sources of information. Through discussions, critical thinking exercises, writing, and research students will acquire a better understanding of the Latinx experience in the United States. This course is taught in English.
