Abstract
This work describes an advanced Spanish conversation class that deals with the instruction of cultural topics of the Spanish speaking world. The materials are appropriate for advanced high school or university English/Spanish. The object is to teach students to actively learn to identify and deconstruct binary thinking and reductive narratives. This is done by means of reflexive analytic investigation in a variety of central considerations with respect to history, society and the U.S. and Mexican cultures, through the examination of the performance art of Violeta Luna.
