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.

Meets with AAS 299 and GWS 295. This course is a methodological introduction for students interested in performing critical analyses of cultural/aesthetic, institutional, and governmental structures. It is designed to give students the intellectual tools to practice interrogating structures of power and to prepare them for upper-division work in interdisciplinary studies. As part of this training, we will explore different forms of intersectional analysis and critiques of intersectionality. Issues covered will include identity formation, models for comparative ethnic studies, postcolonial feminisms, contact theory, neoliberalism, and queer of color critique.
