ENGL 2003 - Hispanic Literature

3 cr. 3 hr. Offered as needed

This class, conducted in English, traces major cultural and political moments in Latin America, Spain and the Caribbean from the 1920s to the present. We will explore cultural products from a broad range of genres and media (fiction, non- fiction, film, music) in order to reflect upon significant artistic trends, political movements and intellectual debates of the last century: modernism and modernity, citizenship and nationhood, revolution, subalternity, dictatorship and postdictatorship, political economy, migration, and globalization. Students will be expected to contribute oral and written assignments reflecting upon these works and- through these assignments as well as active participation in class meetings- will learn to think critically about Hispanic cultural production.
