 Overview Fees Location Accommodations and Meals Travel Curriculum Excursions Textbooks Instructor Info Student Overview Fees Location Accommodations and Meals Travel Curriculum Excursions Textbooks Instructor Info Student Quotes Syllabus Departments of Spanish and Portuguese and History The Pilgrim Roads to France and Spain June 25 - July 18, 2004 This course will follow the historic roads from the late-Gothic tower of St. James the Apostle in Paris to the cathedral and shrine of St. James in Santiago de Compostela in Spain. These roads have been traveled by pilgrims from all over the world since the Middle Ages. Along the way we will visit numerous historical and architectural sites which show the diffusion and importance of the cult of St. James throughout France and Spain. The two integrated courses, Literature and History, offer a broad perspective on the political, social, economic, and cultural context of the road to Santiago and on the idea of pilgrimage itself. Beside visits to important historical cities and sites along or near the road, the faculty, through lectures and assigned readings, will provide a comprehensive view of the literature and history of late medieval France and Spain. Lectures at each site and during our bus travel will complement the reading of pilgrims' travel journals and medieval literature (in English translation) related to the cult of St. James and the nature of medieval life. Cities included on the itinerary are Paris, Arles, Avignon, Toulouse, Lourdes, Burgos, Leon, Compostela, Madrid, and more. Although the course itself is not intended to be a pilgrimage one key feature of it will be that we will, in fact, walk several key stretches of the road to get a feel for the world of the pilgrim then and now. To read the Daily Bruin article about the "Virtual Compostela" project go to www. dailybruin. ucla. edu/news/articles. asp? id=25023 This program is best suited for mature, independent students in good enough condition to hike through terrain in a hot climate. Please note that you will be traveling by bus from one city to another and changing hotels frequently. Plan to pack lightly as you will be responsible for getting your own luggage up to and down from your rooms. Directed by Dr. John Dagenais, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, UCLA.
