HOBART AND WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGES Center for (CGE) SEVILLE, SPAIN Global Education SEVILLE, SPAIN About Seville Located on the Guadalquivir River, Seville is the capital of the region of Andalucía and the cultural and financial center of southern Spain. It is the fourth largest city in Spain with a population of over 700,000 and has a rich history dating back to Roman times. Seville was an important center during the Moorish occupation and the influence of Arabic culture is evident throughout the city and region. It was also the center of trade with the Americas following the Conquest and is home to the Archivo General de Indias which houses documents relating to the relation- ship between Spain and its colonies in the Americas. Today Seville is a vibrant city, a commercial center with numerous cultural attractions, known for flamenco, festivals such as Semana Santa and La Feria de Sevilla, and its Mediterranean climate.

The Program The Seville program, offered through Hobart and William Smith Colleges’ affiliation with Academic Programs International (API), is based at the University of Seville. Students will take courses both at the University and the API Center and will reside in homestays arranged by API. A series of excursions and cultural programming will complement the academic program. Courses Students will take 4 courses during the semester, all taught in Spanish, including the Faculty Director’s Seminar and three electives of their choosing from those offered at the University of Seville.

FALL 2015 DIRECTOR’S SEMINAR: SPAN 336: Spain: The Making of a Nation How does a country come to define itself as such? What diverse elements merge together to form a national and cultural identity? This course will study the development and construction of Spanish culture and civilization from pre- Roman times to the present, focusing on history, geography, art, literature, and other cultural manifestations. The course takes an approach to the development of Spain and Spanish national identities in the context of Western civilization. It studies and discusses historical background, economic and political patterns, literary and artistic development (Cervantes, Velázquez, Goya, Picasso), as well as cultural traditions and folklore. Some of the histori- cal and cultural landmarks the course addresses are: The Roman Empire; Jews, Muslims and Christians in Medieval Spain; imperial Spain and the Golden Age; and Goya and his time. Special attention is given to contemporary Spain, particularly the Spanish Civil War, Franco’s dictatorship and the transition to democracy. Far from viewing peninsular culture as a seamless, cohesive entity, we will consider the conflicts between dominant and marginalized groups such as men/women, Castilians/non-Castilians, and Christians/Jews/Arabs as crucial forces in the shaping of Spanish identity. In the process students will be encouraged to challenge commonly held views and stereotypes about Spain, and will learn to create an articulated vision of the diversity and complexity of the country, its people and its culture.

Students may choose Spanish Language and Humanities courses from those offered at the University of Seville. Examples of courses that may be offered include:

Spanish-American Literature Arabic Influences in Spanish Literature Contemporary Spanish Cinema Inter-American Relations The Art of Andalucia in the Golden Age Spanish Painting from El Greco to Picasso Women in the History of America The Historical Projection of the Three Cultures: Flamenco: an Expression of the Culture of Andalucia Christians, Muslims and Jews

Those with advanced language skills may take one direct enroll course with Spanish students in the Department of Geography and History (the availability of these courses cannot be determined until arrival).
