Spanish M.A. Program Reading List Department of World Languages Spanish M.A. Program Reading List Department of World Languages, Literatures & Cultures University of Arkansas One of the requirements for completion of a Master of Arts degree in Spanish is a comprehensive exam on the course work and the MA reading list. MA students should demonstrate knowledge and a broad understanding of the cultural and literary history of the Hispanic world (Spain, Latin America and Hispanic U.S.). Each student will select five historical periods of the MA list, meeting the following criteria: two periods from Spain and two from Latin America must be included; at least two of the periods selected should be of periods before 1900. The period of concentration are Colonial, 19th Century, Contemporary 20-21th Centuries, and U.S. Latino/a for Latin America, and Medieval, Golden Age, 19th Century, and Contemporary 20-21th Centuries for Spain. Students must demonstrate knowledge of the corresponding cultural movements, representative works and authors in each historical period selected. The five periods selected should be from those in which the student has taken courses. If a student selects a period in which she or he has not taken a course, it is recommended to contact the respective faculty member for guidance and orientation. Although much of the material in the reading list will be covered in the classes offered, some works in the MA reading list will need to be studied on an independent basis. Format The comprehensive exam consists of a written part and an oral defense. All parts of the exam are conducted in Spanish. The written exam consists of two parts: The first part includes essay questions on historical periods, literary genres, and cultural movements. Students must answer three questions out of five, including at least one question from Latin America and one from Spain. Students have three hours to complete the exam. The second part of the written exam includes thirty (30) identification words or phrases related to the works, authors, and cultural movements from Latin America and Spain as well as key literary terms. Students have three hours to complete the exam. Oral exam The students who successfully pass the written exam will have an oral exam with at least three faculty members. In the oral exam students may be asked to clarify or expand their essay questions or identifications. The students may also be asked about the essay questions not selected in the written part. Evaluation criteria The exam is evaluated as follows: High Pass/Pass/Fail. In case of failure, the comprehensive exam can only be repeated once. The exam will be evaluated by a committee of at least three faculty members selected by the graduate advisor. The answers of both the written and oral components of the comprehensive exam should reflect a successful completion of coursework and thorough familiarity with the works, authors, and periods of the MA reading list and a general understanding of the cultural history of the Hispanic world. In the exam, the students must demonstrate advanced Spanish oral and writing skills. The essays should be well-organized, coherent, and clearly-written. Essay questions should offer concrete examples and references from the literary works in the list and the texts covered in the courses taken. In the identification part, the student should provide key information on the word or phrase, demonstrating familiarity with the respective literary work, author, or period in question. In one or two paragraphs the students should provide information on the corresponding country, period, author, movement. The identification answers should also provide key details on the content of the literary works in question. Common identifications are main characters, titles, authors, movements, and literary concepts. Oral exam, the student should be able to produce knowledgeable and articulate responses on topics and works related to his or her selected periods. Schedule M.A. students normally take the exam during the last semester of coursework. The exam is offered only twice a year, the third week of April and November. Students must inform the graduate advisor at least one month in advance when they intend to take the comprehensive exams. The written part is taken on the same day, the essays in the morning and the identifications in the afternoon. The oral exam is scheduled approximately one week after the written exam.

  • COMPARATIVE LITERATURE (Div
    COMPARATIVE LITERATURE (Div. I) Chair, Associate Professor CHRISTOPHER NUGENT Professors: BELL-VILLADA, CASSIDAY, DRUXES, S. FOX, FRENCH, KAGAYA**, NEWMAN***, ROUHI, VAN DE STADT. Associate Professors: C. BOLTON***, DEKEL, S. FOX, HOLZAPFEL, MARTIN, NUGENT, PIEPRZAK***, THORNE, WANG**. Assistant Professors: BRAGGS*, VARGAS. Visiting Assistant Professor: EQEIQ. Students motivated by a desire to study literary art in the broadest sense of the term will find an intellectual home in the Program in Comparative Literature. The Program in Comparative Literature gives students the opportunity to develop their critical faculties through the analysis of literature across cultures, and through the exploration of literary and critical theory. By crossing national, linguistic, historical, and disciplinary boundaries, students of Comparative Literature learn to read texts for the ways they make meaning, the assumptions that underlie that meaning, and the aesthetic elements evinced in the making. Students of Comparative Literature are encouraged to examine the widest possible range of literary communication, including the metamorphosis of media, genres, forms, and themes. Whereas specific literature programs allow the student to trace the development of one literature in a particular culture over a period of time, Comparative Literature juxtaposes the writings of different cultures and epochs in a variety of ways. Because interpretive methods from other disciplines play a crucial role in investigating literature’s larger context, the Program offers courses intended for students in all divisions of the college and of all interests. These include courses that introduce students to the comparative study of world literature and courses designed to enhance any foreign language major in the Williams curriculum. In addition, the Program offers courses in literary theory that illuminate the study of texts of all sorts.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.
