Studies in the Literature of Latin America: Reading Nineteenth-Century Latin America

L38 Span 515

This seminar engages a wide range of print culture in order to explore what it meant to read and be a reader over the course of the long nineteenth century, stretching from the eve of the wars for independence to eve of the Mexican Revolution (1800-1910). We will pay special attention to themes like writing as a legitimizing force, reading & nation building, and the intersection of print with war, debates on race, identity formation, and economic modernization. The importance of reading practices as a form of sociability and the intersections between popular and elite cultures will also feature as interpretative frameworks for many of the seminar's readings. These span from independence war poetry to pillars of GAUCHESQUE writing, from mythic novels like MARÍA to the debunking of myths in plays by Florencio Sánchez, from accounts of slave experiences to flighty MODERNISTA fancies. Historical and theoretical selections will guide our analysis of primary sources.

L38 Span 548

This course will be devoted to analyze a selection of texts produced in the Iberian Peninsula during the middle ages and the early modern period, whose principal subjects are the History and legends of the region that became, eventually, the kindom of Castile. This will be our point of departure to better understand the uses of the past, as it becomes part of a text, and goes through the unavoidable process of fictionalization. We will study, for example, the ever problematic relations between the nobility and the monarchy and the uses of History as a source of exemplary matter, as inspiration to help create and reinforce social identity, and as a way to overcome censorship. With the objective of acquiring a better understanding of the uses of the past as a strategy to comment, explain and try to modify the present moment, and given the popularity that the historical novel has acquired in Spain in recent years, especially after the transition to democracy, our reading list will also include a few examples of these types of texts. For their final projects, the students will be asked to work in a synchronic and comparative way, with various representations of a legend, a character, or a historical event of their choice. In Spanish.

Seminar on the Complete Works of Leonardo Padura

L38 Span 574

The highly acclaimed and award-winning Cuban author Padura is known for his seven detective novels and many journalistic articles that deal with social and political issues in Cuba. We will read his works Fiebre de caballo, Pasado perfecto, Vientos de cuaresma, Máscaras, Paisaje de otoño, La novela de mi vida, Adios Hemingway, La cola de la serpiente, La niebla del ayer, El hombre que amaba los perros, and Herejes. These works will be studied using scholarship on Padura as well as sources used by Padura in his writing; special attention will be paid to his style, structure and inter-textual preferences in examining Cuba's social and historical conditions as he raises questions about values and character creation in ways reminiscent of Tolstoy, Dostoievsky, Galdos and Dickens. Students will present a report on one of the novels, and produce a research paper of 20-25 pages on a topic chosen in consultation with the professor. Prereq: Graduate Standing. In Spanish.
