As we examine the major literary movements, writers, and works of Portugal and Brazil during this period, we will explore how literature contributes to and critiques modernity, hegemonic political ideologies, and modes of representation. We will also look at how literary texts represent the other, construct national and cultural identities, and express divergent perspectives and voices. The course will also introduce students to the practice of literary analysis, and offer them the opportunity to improve their language skills in Portuguese through extensive practice. COURSE READINGS All readings will be posted on Carmen. Instructor will suggest additional readings to be completed at the library. Reference texts should be consulted on a regular basis.

For graduate students: to familiarize students with some of the main currents in the criticism of 19 th -early 20 th -century literature and culture in Portuguese. COURSE REQUIREMENTS All students are expected to prepare the primary texts in advance, according to the schedule, and to be able discuss them in class. Specifically, all students should select at least one passage from the reading to comment on or raise questions about in each class. Undergraduate students will have three short (1-2 page) papers, one oral presentation, and one final exam. Graduate students will have one short (3-4 page) paper, two oral presentations, and one final research paper (12-14 pages). Graduate students will also have secondary, critical readings in addition to the primary readings. COURSE EVALUATION Undergraduates: Class participation: 15% Oral presentation(s): 10% Short essays: 45% Final exam: 30% Graduates: Class participation: 10% Oral presentations: 15% Short essay: 25% Final exam/research paper: 50% GRADING SCALE 60-67 D 80-82 B- 68-69 D+ 83-87 B 70-72 C- 88-89 B+ 2

73-77 C 90-92 A- 78-79 C+ 93-100 A ATTENDANCE/MAKE-UP WORK POLICY Students are expected to come to class on time every day and to stay until the end of class. Unexcused late arrivals and early departures will each count as ½ of an unexcused absence. Since the class meets only twice a week, students will be allowed just two unexcused absences. After that, your final course grade will be lowered by 2 points for each unexcused absence. You should use your two grace days to cover unexcused absences (work, family vacations, long weekends, weddings, family emergencies, undocumented illness, transportation problems, oversleeping, etc.). Excused absences (or adjustments to attendance or participation) should be discussed with the instructor and documented. Examples of excused absences are: o Legitimate excused absences may be related, for example, to: Participation in a scheduled activity of an official University organization, verifiable confining illness, serious verifiable family emergencies, subpoenas, jury duty, and military service. A note from Student Health Services that indicates, The patient was not seen here during this period of illness, is not acceptable. It is the student's responsibility to notify his/her instructor of any excused absence as far in advance as possible. Documentation for excused absences must be presented as soon as possible. No documentation will be accepted after the last day of regularly scheduled classes. o I also respectfully take into account religion and disabilities. Please feel free to discuss any relevant issues with me. Make-up work is possible in the event of excused absences. Arrangements for make-up work must be negotiated with the instructor prior to the absence, if possible. Makeup work will be permitted only when the instructor is presented with acceptable documentation. Work must be made up in a timely manner, and will not be accepted after the last day of classes. REGARDING THE USE OF ANY INTERNET MATERIALS FOR YOUR PERSONAL WORK Any materials used as sources for your work need to be properly acknowledged following the MLA style. Please be advised that while you can certainly use the internet as a tool for your research, Google, Wikipedia and other sites will not be accepted as authoritative sources. If used correctly, the Internet is an important research tool, but does not replace traditional bibliographic research. REGARDING THE USE OF CELLULAR PHONES AND OTHER PRACTICES CONSIDERED DISRUPTIVE 3

The use of cellular phones is not allowed in this class at any time. Your phone should be silent or disconnected when you enter the classroom. Students who insist on using their personal phones (whether for making/receiving calls or for text messaging) will be invited to leave the class. The use of personal computers and laptops is restricted to note taking. Students are not allowed to check email, Facebook or any other utilities while in class. It is expected that students devote class time in its entirety solely to the activities that the instructor designs and assigns for each class. Using class time for work related to other courses such as homework is unacceptable and constitutes grounds for dismissal. Any student engaging in this type of activity will be given an opportunity to correct his/her behavior; persistence in this behavior or defiance will result in an invitation to leave the class, and one percentage point being deducted from the final grade. OFFICE HOURS It is expected that students will attend office hours at least once during the quarter. CLASS CANCELLATION POLICY In the unlikely event of class cancellation due to emergency, I will contact you via email and request that a note be placed on the door. In addition, I will contact you as soon as possible following the cancellation to let you know what will be expected of you for our next class meeting. DISABILITY STATEMENT Students with disabilities that have been certified by the Office for Disability Services will be appropriately accommodated, and should inform the instructor of their needs. The Office for Disability Services is located in 150 Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue; telephone 292-3307, TDD 292-0901; http://www.ods.ohiostate.edu/. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT It is the responsibility of the Committee on Academic Misconduct to investigate or establish procedures for the investigation of all reported cases of student academic misconduct. The term academic misconduct includes all forms of student academic misconduct wherever committed; illustrated by, but not limited to, cases of plagiarism and dishonest practices in connection with examinations. Instructors shall report all instances of alleged academic misconduct to the committee (Faculty Rule 3335-5-487). For additional information, see the Code of Student Conduct (http://studentaffairs.osu.edu/csc/). 4

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE I have read and understood all the sections in this syllabus. By signing this statement I acknowledge that I paid attention to the sections pertaining to academic conduct, requirements and evaluation, and that I am willing to comply with the rules set forth in this document. Student s signature 7

Rationale The Department of Spanish and Portuguese proposes to withdraw the following two courses: PORT 4551, Literature from Middle Ages to Neoclassicism PORT 4552, Literature from Romanticism to the Present It proposes to create the following course: PORT 4550, Literatures of the Portuguese-Speaking World And to change the numbers of the following courses: PORT 7400 >PORT 5510 Literatures and Cultures in Portuguese from the Middle Ages to Neoclassicism PORT 7420 >PORT 5520 Literatures and Cultures in Portuguese from Romanticism to Modernism PORT 7460 >PORT 5530 Literatures and Cultures in Portuguese from Modernism to the Present PORT 7440 >PORT 5580 Cinema of the Portuguese-Speaking World These four courses were created them for the new MA/PhD program in Portuguese that admitted its first students in AU 2013. They are designed to be broad, survey courses that serve as core, introductory courses to the literature, culture, and cinema of the Portuguese-speaking world (4551 and 4552 previously fulfilled this function albeit it in a more limited way for the undergraduate program.) We believe these courses can meet the needs of both the undergraduate and graduate program and thus should be offered at the 5000 rather than the 7000 level. Additional readings and a research paper will be required of graduate students in these courses, in order to make them appropriate for both levels. Furthermore, making these four courses available to both graduates and undergraduates would boost enrollment in them. Although we expect both the undergraduate and graduate programs to grow, the graduate program will always be small (admitting 2-3 students/year maximum). Because of the overlap between the content and goals of 4551 and 4552 we will withdraw both courses. We anticipate that two of these four courses will be offered each year on a rotation basis. PORT 4550, Literatures of the Portuguese-Speaking World, will be a 4000-level literature course open only to undergraduates, parallel to the 4000-level culture courses (4560 and 4561). This course could focus on the early or modern period and would be designed not to overlap in content with the 5000-level literature course(s) offered that year. We anticipate that this course would be offered every two years. This course would also contribute to the training our graduate students, as it would give one advanced graduate student the opportunity to teach in his/her field of study, similar to the opportunity that our graduate students in Spanish have to teach literature courses at the 4000-level.
