Have you ever heard about Barça's victories, Joan
Miró's fanciful paintings, the irreverent and brilliant Salvador
Dalí and Antoni Gaudí's unique buildings? Well, this means you
already know something about the Catalan culture. Besides, if you
have ever been to Barcelona, one of the most visited cities in
Europe, you might have already heard some Catalan words.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This course, designed for beginners, is aimed at
enthusiastic learners of new languages, specially those interested in
finding out more about a European language that doesn't enjoy the
support and visibility of a sovereign nation-state apparatus.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" class="western" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The very basics of the language will be addressed
through a wide range of activities, including listening to songs,
reading some excerpts from works by Catalan authors, watching parts
of Catalan films and Television programs, etc. These different
teaching activities will be also arranged to introduce students to
the wider cultural context of the Catalan language, which is not only
spoken in Spain but also in some regions of France and Italy, and it
is the only official language of Andorra.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Escriptora, docent, editora, traductora i activista, Maria Mercè Marçal (1952-1998), és una de les veus més destacades de les poesia catalana dels 70 als 90 del segle XX. La seva poesia, deutora de l'imaginari surrealista, enllaça amb l'obra d'autors com Joan Brossa. Sobre aquesta tradició Marçal afegeix l'interès per expressar l'experiència femenina com l'embaràs i per tractar una perspectiva vital fins aleshores inèdita, la de l'amor entre dones, que tant necessitava d'una figura de la seva talla. Al llarg de la seva trajectòria va rebre premis literaris com el Carles Riba (1976) per <i>Cau de Llunes</i> i el Carlemany (1994) per la novel·la <i>La passió de Renée Vivien</i>. Al costat d'aquests títols, recomanem el poemari <i>La germana, l'estrangera</i> (1981-1984), les antologies <i>Desglaç</i> (1984-1988, recentment traduïda al castellà per Andrés Sánchez Robayna), <i>Llengua abolida</i> (1977-1988) i el CD <i>El meu amor sense casa</i> (2003), en què podem escoltar la poetessa recitant els seus textos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Des del punt de vista biogràfic, l'escriptora va ser sempre reservada. El seu matrimoni amb el poeta Ramon Pinyol Balasch amb qui va fundar l'editorial Llibres de Mall, va durar només quatre anys, 1972-1976. El 1980 va tenir una filla, Heura. Mai Cobos i Fina Birulés van ser companyes sentimentals amb impacte en la seva vida i la seva poesia. Va morir de càncer amb només 45 anys. Cantautors com Marina Rossell, Maria del Mar Bonet, Sílvia Pérez Cruz i Miguel Poveda han posat música als poemes de Marçal. Deixem un enllaç d'aquest últim: "</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8XhmdIhFzo&feature=youtu.be" style="font-size: medium;">Cançó del bes sense port</a><span style="font-size: small;">".</span></div>

Ha estat una classe molt divertida, i he après molt. En primer lloc, hem après com es saluden les persones entre si i la forma de dir adéu. La meva forma preferida de saludar és “Hola, què hi ha?” També he après a descriure les persones físicament i també el seu caràcter. Ha estat molt divertit descriure la meva familia, incloent la meva germana i els meus pares. Ha estat molt interessant per aprendre sobre la cultura catalana i els seus costums, i crec que és molt curiós com se celebra el Nadal a Catalunya amb el caganer. Això mai passaria als Estats Units, la gent és massa puritana. M’ha agradat molt aprendre a donar i seguir les instruccions en català, perquè espero poder viure a Barcelona aquest estiu i ser capaç d’utilizar les habilitats de conversa mentre sóc allà. També ha estat molt útil per aprendre sobre el vocabulari mèdic. En resum, m’encanta l’idioma català i em sento molt emocionat per la propera classe. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Pa negre</i> (2010) ens
demostra—de forma gràfica—la violència de la guerra civil espanyola en l’època
la postguerra. In this macabre drama, director Agustí Villaronga shows us
Catalonia during the early post-war years. The initial and gripping first seen of
the movie shows us the young protagonist, Andreu, as he discovered the bodies
of a young friend and his friend’s father after being thrown off the side of a cliff.
Andreu’s family pertains to the republicans who lost the war and local
officials immediately point to Andreu's father as the guilty party. To combat
these accusations, Andreu begins his own investigations into who the possible
killer could be. Soon, the lies and secrets of the adult world that surrounds
him begin to crumble and he discovers some of the horrors committed by his
father during the war. After the uncovering of a particularly disdainful action
committed by his father, Andreu cannot reconcile his feelings for his parents’ (apparent) dishonesty and chooses to abandon his life with his family for that of their
enemies. <i>Black Bread</i> was Spain’s nomination for Best Foreign Language Film to
this year’s Academy Awards. It is truly a beautiful movie that shows the
horrors of the immediate postwar, francoist era from the perspective of a child
in a chilling fashion.</div>

<i>Una casa de locos</i>
(2002) és una pel·lícula còmica que mostra totes les diferents cultures que
conviuen a Barcelona. Xavier is a student of economics from Paris that, albeit
being the ripe age of 27, lives with his mother. In order to obtain a job in
Paris, he agrees to spend time in Spain as part of an exchange program in order to
learn Spanish. He leaves his beautiful girlfriend (yay, Audrey Tautou!)
promising to remain faithful and heads to Barcelona. In the Barcelona airport,
Xavier’s adventures begin. He befriends a French couple (a Dr. and his wife) that
ends up giving him a temporary place to stay (and a little more), when his
original housing plans fall through. This movie does a great job illustrating
the melting pot that defines Barcelona. He soon interviews and finds an
apartment full of international students: an Italian guy, an English girl, a
boy from Denmark, a young girl from Belgium, a German and a spaniard from
Tarragona. The movie follows the trials, tribulations, crazy, fun lifestyle of
these young people as they complete their courses and find their life’s
adventure. Eventually Xavier returns to Paris and starts his first day at his
new job. Within minutes, he runs from the office screaming in search something
different. His experiences in Barcelona have inspired him to become a writer to
represent all his friends from the madhouse where he lived in Spain.</div>

<i>Tres dies amb la
família</i> (2009) és un estudi d'una família català on el director, Mar Coll,
utilitza una cinematorafia magnífica per mostrar la dinàmica de la família Vich
i Carbó. This movie follows the young protagonist, Léa, to Girona to accompany
her family in mourning the loss of her paternal grandfather. Léa returns from
abroad and a life with her French boyfriend to be reunited with her family after a long absence. Through this gathering, the viewer learns about the different generation of this conservative,
middle-class Catalan family. The mentioned “three days” from the title
references the days of the wake, mass and burial of a grandfather who has left
behind three sons and a daughter. Léa’s aunts and uncles do not visit one
another often and their differences in opinions about quotidian problems soon
become an issue in itself. Léa’s generation of the family, while in similar ages,
have also changed throughout the years and have different opinions about their
lives and family too. For example, Léa informs them that she plan on opening a
bar with her boyfriend—and idea that her cousins’ mock—but Léa refuses to
conform to the ideals of her family and insists on living her dream. Even though
she and her boyfriend eventually breakup towards the end of the film, the
audience sees Léa return to her life abroad and hold on to her desire to break
the mold imposed by her family history.</div>

</div>The Caganer figurine is one of the more peculiar aspects of Catalan <br />
culture. The Caganer is a traditional part of the nativity scene, el <br />
pessebre, during Christmas. In contrast with the nativity scene common <br />
in America, the Catalan nativity scene depicts a whole city, and the <br />
Caganer can usually be found hidden in the corner. Traditionally, the <br />
Caganer is a depiction of a shepard defecating. Its popularity in pop <br />
culture and amongst youth has expanded the selection of figurines to a <br />
wide choice of various popular figures in politics and entertainment, <br />
and new figurines continue to pop up every year. The explanation <br />
behind why the Caganer exists is unclear, with varied opinions as to <br />
its purpose. It is commonly thought of as nothing more than a simple <br />
tradition and can be seen as a show of Catalan humor. Others regard it <br />
in a more symbolic sense such as representing fertilization or <br />
equality. Regardless, the Caganer has held its place as a rooted part <br />
of local tradition in Catalonia, and any attempts to do away with it <br />
by those who see it from a more offensive perspective have always been <br />
met with opposition by those who consider it an important part of Catalan culture.<div><br />

We created a "dance floor" in the middle, dimmed the lights, and had music playing as we went out in search of our "ideal match". We were each handed information about our new identity (complete with a new name, phone number, birthday, profession, and hobbies). The person with the most similarities to you was your match! Some groups ended up as trios because we have more females in our class. In order to find our matches, we had to ask each other questions about our new identities utilizing the interrogative words and vocabulary that we've learned. Almost everyone was successful in finding their correct matches. Once we were all in our correct groups, we had to discuss the similarities between the pairs (or trios). <br />
<br />
Some of the questions we used were:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Com et dius? </span></b>- What is your name? (or more literally: How do you call yourself?)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Què t'agrada fer?</span></b> - What do you like to do?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">De què fas?</span></b> - What do you do for a living?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>On vius?</b></span> -Where do you live?<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Quants anys tens?</span></b> - How old are you?<br />
<br />
This was a great way to practice and review what we have learned so far this quarter! <br />

Fue capturado en 1967 en Guinea Ecuatorial por algunos hombres locales y posteriormente llevado a Barcelona, donde fue recibido con gran algarabía. Como gorila albino es el único del que se conoce hasta la fecha. A primera vista, el gorila parecía como cualquier otro, pero en realidad durante toda su vida tuvo problemas físicos. Debido a su condición, padecía deficiencia en la vista, ya que incluso sus ojos carecían de pigmentación. Además, tenía problemas de coordinación, y según algunos expertos, hubiera sido imposible que se reprodujera o incluso sobreviviera en su hábitat natural. Copito de nieve murió el 24 de noviembre de 2003 a causa de cáncer en la piel. Tuvo veintiún descendientes, pero ninguno heredó su condición de albino. El zoológico de Barcelona recibe un gran número de cartas cada año pidiendo que se permita una clonación del gorila albino, puesto que el zoológico cuenta con muestras genéticas. Al parecer, la gente que envía las cartas no ha considerado los múltiples problemas que sufrió Copito de nieve y solo le importa observar un lindo gorila blanco.<br />

A la nostra classe de català parlem de les tradicions catalanes. <br />
Parlem de la mona, el caganer, el tió de Nadal, Cap d'any i la Setmana <br />
Santa. També parlem del menjar típic d'aquestes dates. Per exemple, <br />
per Nadal el menjar típic és l'Escudella i la carn d'olla. <br />
Per a aquest plat tradiconal es posa a bullir tot tipus de carn, <br />
vegetals i llegums, com a mínim 3 hores. El brou resultant es <br />
cuina amb la pasta en forma de galets. La protagonista és la pilota, <br />
una massa de carn picada i espècies. Per beure, cava, un xampany <br />
escumós tradicional de Catalunya. I les postres <br />
tradicionals són els torrons i les neules. Les neules són dolços <br />
tradicionals en forma de palletes. Els torrons són elaborats amb mel, <br />
sucre, ous i ametlles. Aquest dia tota la família es reuneix per <br />
parlar, menjar i sobretot passar una bona estona junts.<br />
