How is cultural identity built in a framework that transcends national borders? How is transnational identity expressed and developed? These are the main research questions that guide the reflection and discussions in the first part of this course. As a case study, the course focuses on the complex identity situation of Latinos (Cubans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans) in the United States living between two cultures and two languages. This course offers argumentation strategies that can be applied in the construction of a convincing argumentative discourse in different professional circumstances. In addition, the course offers techniques to write a critical discourse on the subject discussed in class.
