Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures
The Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures (formerly Spanish and Portuguese) offers courses in Latin American and Iberian languages and cultures.
For questions about specific courses, contact the department.
Courses
In addition to providing students with a commanding linguistic preparation in Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan, the department offers a flexible and varied undergraduate program that enables them to study the cultural manifestations of the Hispanic and Lusophone worlds in a variety of cultural contexts: the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America, the former colonies of Portugal, and the United States.
Spanish Placement Exam
Entering Columbia students are placed in Spanish courses or exempted from the language requirement on the basis of their College Board Achievement or Advanced Placement scores. All other students with prior knowledge of Spanish (secondary school, living abroad, near-native or native speakers) who want to continue studying Spanish are required to take the department's Spanish Placement Examination before registering for a course. Please visit the Spanish and Portuguese Department's website for additional information about the Spanish Placement Examination. Please note that language courses may not be taken Pass/Fail nor may they be audited.
Language Resource Center
The Language Resource Center, located in 116B Lewisohn and 353 International Affairs Building Extension, provides intensive practice in pronunciation, diction, and aural comprehension. Exercises in the laboratory are closely integrated with classroom work. Coordinated recorded programs are available and strongly recommended for students registered in Spanish language courses. Recorded exercises in pronunciation and intonation, as well as recordings of selected literary works, are also available to all students in Spanish courses. For current laboratory hours, please call 212-854 3211.
For questions about specific courses, contact the department.

Ana HubackCorequisites: PORT UN1220 An intensive exposure to advanced points of Portuguese grammar and structure through written and oral practice, along with an introduction to the basic principles of academic composition in Portuguese. This course is required for the concentration in Portuguese Studies. This course is intended to improve Portuguese language skills in grammar, comprehension, and critical thinking through an archive of texts from literature, film, music, newspapers, critical reception and more. To do so, we will work through Portuguese-speaking communities and cultures from Brazil, to Portugal and Angola, during the twentieth and twenty-first century, to consider the mode in which genre, gender and sexuality materialize and are codified, disoriented, made, unmade and refigured through cultural productions, bodies, nation and resistant vernaculars of aesthetics and performance, always attentive to the intersections of gender with class and racism.

Alexandra MendezIntensive, fast-paced elementary Spanish course for multilingual learners who have had little to no formal education in Spanish. Replaces the sequence SPAN UN1101-SPAN UN1102.
Prerequisites:
Take the Department's Language Placement Examination. (It is only for diagnostic purposes, to assess your language learning skills, not your knowledge of Spanish).
If you score approximately 330 OR MORE, you may qualify for this course if:
- you have had little to no formal education in Spanish, AND
- you identify with ONE of the following language learner profiles:
-
Learners of Spanish as a 3rd language: fluent in a language other than English
-
Informal learners of Spanish: English speakers who have “picked up” Spanish by interacting with Spanish speakers in informal settings
-
“Receptive” Spanish heritage learners: English dominant, but you understand Spanish spoken by family and community members
(The exam is only an initial assessment for diagnostic purposes. Your score might be high, even if you have never studied Spanish in a formal setting).
You do not need my permission to register*. I will further assess your level during the Change of Program period. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you are unsure about your placement in this course.
*Students who do not have the necessary proficiency level may not remain in this course. All Columbia students must take Spanish language courses (UN 1101-3300) for a letter grade.

Alberto MedinaThis course gives students an opportunity to learn about the history of Argentine culture by studying the fifty-year long career of Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), the most important Latin American writer of the twentieth century. Students must read complex texts, discuss them in Spanish, and write about them in Spanish. After taking this course, a student should be able to study or work in Argentina with confidence. Heritage Spanish-speakers will be able to hone their language skills as well since the course requires a good deal of writing. Thus these students as well will be able to study, travel, and work in Argentina and not find themselves in an alien culture.

Alfred Mac AdamThis course is designed to explore the massive and unprecedented radical Feminist activisms in the Latin America –mainly in the Southern Cone, Argentina and Chile- in the second decade of the twentieth century. In order to account for the multiple and heterogeneous character of the movement we will study the emergence of this new activism, its actions, and the conversations they engage in with their predecessors. Current feminisms display an essential claim against the policies of neoliberal States. They are also known for creating a vast scope of ideas and vocabularies linked to new perspectives on violence, the body, resistance, or precarity, among others. The course analyzes the impact of space (streets, assemblies, university) in the action, intervention, and creation of feminist politics. It also looks at the discourses and texts written: manifestos, videos, posters, books, performances. Feminist aesthetic production is an inseparable aspect of these interventions and it will be an essential focus in all the topics discussed. The political and cultural transformations that feminist activisms pursue involve thinking new forms of subjectivation as part of collective politics. This course proposes various interdisciplinary approaches in order to encompass the multidimensional nature of this topic.

Ana Fernandez CebrianFrom the nineteenth and twentieth centuries until today, the art spectator is insistently confronted with new and well-calculated exhibition devices, which provide a spatial arrangement for the artworks and foster regulated perceptions of the exhibitions and their contexts. Georges Didi-Huberman defines art museums as State apparatuses and art exhibitions as war machines. However, this statement may lead one to wonder: On what side do those war machines and State apparatuses work within the global context? This course proposes an investigation of art exhibitions' history and power and their particular function as international political weapons in the Latin American and Spanish contexts. During the semester, we will build a general panorama of contemporary art projects and exhibitions through which we will think about topics of national identity, processes of colonization, transatlantic political and cultural relations, and the emergence of new subjectivities.

0 of 15An important portion of Latin American literature of the recent decades has been characterized by a crisis of the book. Contemporary writers have actively left the boundaries of literary fiction to incorporate other registers and methods to their work—historical, visual, anthropological. Critical and theoretical scholarship from and about the region has enacted a similar displacement. Literary scholars have diversified their objects of study to include not only the unique manifestations proposed by these contemporary writers but also other, mostly visual, materials—a phenomenon that has been identified as the visual turn in literary studies.
This course maps and explores some of the most influential projects that constitute this phenomenon. Our class discussions will alternate between the analysis of works of contemporary art and literature and the examination of the critical and theoretical scholarship around them. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which these scholars articulate and design their projects and how they develop frameworks to approach objects that may at first appear as dissimilar and/or disciplinarily hybrid.
