The course explores how mainstream popular culture reads the practice of bilingualism. It confronts the idea of a national language and analyzes how bilingualism disrupts the normativity of linguistic homogeneity. The course explores the ideologies involved in the stewardship of bilingualism and the construction of the cultural canon. It analyzes the different labels assigned to US Latino Spanish: Spanglish, Chicano Spanish, New Rican Spanish, Mock Spanish, etc., and sets the nomenclature in its historical discursive context. Students will be encouraged to engage in cultural readings of popular media offerings where Spanish-English bilingualism is present.
