The Ph.D. Program in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Literatures and Languages offers courses leading to the doctoral degree in two major areas of specialization, literature and linguistics. Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Literatures:
Courses are offered in all areas of Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian
literatures leading to the doctoral degree. Major
movements and literary genres —epic, drama, lyric poetry, novel,
and essay— are studied in their historical, ideological, and
cultural context, from their origins through the Renaissance and Siglo
de Oro, to the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Peninsular Literature: medieval poetry and prose; humanism and the Renaissance; Golden Age poetry, prose, theater, and thought; eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century poetry, fiction, theatre and essay. Latin American Literature: essay, poetry, fiction, and drama from the sixteenth century to the present; modernism, women's writings. Portuguese Literature: medieval texts to contemporary fiction. Brazilian Literature: the romantic movement to contemporary trends. Other Areas: poetics and theories of literature, textual criticism, research methods, history of the Spanish language, feminist criticism, the history of ideas [click here for more information]. Hispanic Linguistics: In the Hispanic linguistics track, entry-level students are first introduced to major areas in the field. The core courses provide students with a broad understanding of the discipline and with the basic preparation for conducting linguistic research. At a more advanced level, students can focus on glottopolitical approaches to language--e.g., Spanish in contact, linguistic history of Hispanic communities, language and identity, language policy, and linguistic ideologies--or pursue research in areas of phonology, grammar or lexis from functionalist and variationist perspectives. Students will be encouraged to broaden their academic and intellectual preparation by choosing, in consultation with their advisor, a number of courses outside the program in areas such as anthropology, linguistics, literature, sociology and political science [click here for more information].
