The aim of the B.A. in Hispanic Studies (HS) in Japanese higher education is to train the students in the language and the cultures of the Spanish-speaking territories.Through interviews with administrators, teachers, and students, as well as the analysis of pedagogical materials, this paper analyzes how said degree tackles the task of teaching about cultures that have a preexisting and consolidated social image. The results reveal that the impact on undergraduates by specialists that set out to correct widely shared assumptions about other cultures is dampened by the inertia and pervasiveness of socially transversal discursive functions. Also, paradoxically, the same specialists will inadvertently lean on, or otherwise unintendedly reinforce, other unwarranted beliefs while they focus on rectifying some assumptions.
