SPAN 145C: (LT) Journey through the Spanish-Speaking World

Mystical love mostly refers to the spiritual union of the soul with God. Mystical poets seek closeness with a latent spirituality, whose purpose is to approach the invisible. On the other hand, erotic love is essentially bodily, and has its fate in the expression of the body and its multiplicity of sensations. Erotic love is more grounded and emotional. In this course, we will study mystical writers such as Santa Teresa de Ávila, Fray Luis de León, and San Juan de la Cruz. As well as poets and writers such as Delmira Agustini, Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda, César Vallejo, Cristina Peri Rossi, and Ana Maria del Río.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
May be repeated for credit when topics vary. As individual subjects are selected, each is assigned a letter (A-Z) which is affixed to the course number. Specific titles and course descriptions for special topics courses are available in the online class schedule.
