FREN 1010  LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN US MEDIA (3 credits)

Delivered in English, this course introduces students to diversity in the US using language in context as points of departure. In this course, we analyze the intersection between language and ideological constructions (e.g., the objectification of Latino women, discrimination and stereotypes toward Asian peoples) and examine nodes of social meaning through visual and audio representations of language, as consumed in music, tv series, art (e.g., street art, installations) and social media. Departing from a US-centric and an assimilative approach, the course provides a historical and geographic lens through which these languages exist in the United States. (Cross-listed with WLL 1000, GERM 1010, JAPN 1020, SPAN 1010).
