SPAN 3200 - Latin American Literature and Film

Hours: 4
The focus of this course is the powerful role played by literature and film in the construction and expression of distinctive Latin American identities and realities. The course features the most distinguished authors of Latin American literature from the pre-colonial period to the present. Readings will be from many different genres— letters from the first explorers and missionaries, essays, poems, and short fiction. The singular voices and visions of these authors will be placed in dialogue with canonical and thematically-affiliated films from Latin America to deepen student understanding of key questions, moments and movements in Latin American history and culture.
Prerequisites: SPAN 3000.
