Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2597 This class studies the representation of regional, national, and individual identity in contemporary Latin American novels. Works include novels from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru written by female and male writers. The selected novels present different strands of cultural conflict due to the simultaneous presence of markedly different modes of identity. Several primary questions will guide our analysis of the course texts: What is identity? How are national and regional identities constructed and why? What are the socio-historical, cultural and political influences on identity? What does the study of the Latin American novel reveal about the relationship among economic development, the construction of social identities, and citizenship? How can the study of the novel help us to understand the dynamics of race, class and gender in specific Latin American contexts? Prerequisite: at least one SPAN 200-level course. Approach: Course does not meet an Approach; Enrollment Cap; 15. |
