CPEC 202 - In Search of una Voz/a Voice: Visionary Writing in Two Languages (4 Cr.)

(GCR RPP)
For Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes “writing is a struggle against silence.” The goal of this course is for students, with some proficiency (up to an extensive mastery) of two languages (Spanish and English), to struggle against this silence by using both languages in creative writing. In practicing bilingual writing, students will explore the bilingual world in terms of language use in their social life and social interactions. By focusing on Spanish/English bilingualism in the United States students will learn about the intersecting inequality of this bilingual experience (ethnicity, race, class, degree of bilingualism, among others). Working as individuals and in cooperation with peers, both as respectful audience and careful editors, they will seek modes of presenting their creative fiction and non-fiction production. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students and others with instructor permission. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. Cortés-Conde.
