This class will introduce students to Afro-Latin American culture and literature from its inception to the present through representative textual and audiovisual culture. We will define the concepts of Afro-Latin American culture and literature. We will address the questions of what, who, where, why, how is Afro-Latin America? The course will privilege the black perspective, reading representations of black cultural practices against the grain. The aim of the course is to help students understand the role people of African descent and black culture has had and continues to have in the development of Latin American society and culture. The course seeks to deconstruct and expand our notions of Afro-Latin America. Students will become familiar with concepts such as race, ethnicity, confraternity, palenuqe/quilombo, and cultural agency. Classes will combine lectures by the instructor, student presentations, collective debates and cooperative learning, and will entail the use of required bibliography and audiovisual materials.

Among the most emblematic moments of nineteenth-century Spanish history were the Napoleonic invasion of 1808, which fractured one of the largest empires in world history; the ratification of the Constitution of Cádiz (1812), which established Spain as a modern liberal state; and the independence of the Spanish-American colonies, begun in the early century and eventually culminating in the War of 1898, with the loss of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Departing from the premise that colonialism shaped the history of the Spanish nation throughout the long nineteenth century, we will examine the representations of empire in the literary and artistic works of the period, with a special attention to the problems of gender and race. Topics to be discussed include slavery, prostitution, transatlantic sex-trafficking, gender equality, mestizaje, and the Moroccan War. Materials to be examined include plays of the early century, such as María Rosa Gálvez's Zinda and Duque de Rivas's Don Álvaro, the poetry and anti-slavery writings of Romanic authors Carolina Coronado and Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, short fiction of realists authors (Galdós, Clarín, and Pardo Bazán), popular erotic novels and the zarzuela (popular musical theater) of the fin-de-siglo, and orientalist paintings of the period.This is a writing-intensive course, which requires a minimum of 3 papers of approx. 4-5pp. length, with rewrites; 50% of the grade must come from written work. In Spanish. |

The class follows the overarching theme of multidimensional aspects of love as (re)created in a broad selection of 20th and 21st century Latin American and Latino/a literary works (short stories, poetry, drama), performances, films, and art. In addition to texts by authors such as Neruda, Quiroga, Bombal, Morejón, García Márquez, Onetti, Pizarnik, Ferré, Allende, Padura, Bahr, Valenzuela, García, and Obejas, among others, we will also examine a few research articles on the subject of love, blending insights from psychology, anthropology, neurochemistry, and philosophy. This engagement with interdisciplinary approaches will encourage students to seek their own insights grounded in areas beyond literature and to perceive love as a diverse human experience that encompasses a plurality of cultural expressions and complex individual relationships. |

The Global Sixties was a time of political turmoil and cultural change: for some, an era of frustrated opportunities for social justice; for others, a continued source of nostalgia or optimism. How were the Sixties experienced in Latin America? During this tumultuous decade, internal and external forces challenged longstanding sociocultural, economic and political models, sparking pivotal debates that would shape the future of the region for decades: modernity versus revolution, counterculture versus culture industry, Latin Americanism versus the Americanization of life, public intellectuals versus emerging youth cultures, military repression versus the activism of new political actors and the politicization of urban and campesino subaltern subjects. More than 50 years later, the resulting social and cultural changes, along with some of its other outcomes-dictatorships, foreign military and economic interventions-are still being reevaluated, underscoring the significance of the decade's legacies for understanding contemporary Latin America. This course offers an exploration of the Latin American Sixties from a cultural history perspective. We will study the Latin American literary boom and the cultural market; youth cultures and countercultures (music, cinema, comics); mass culture, popular culture and neo-imperialism; the Cultural Cold War; and revolution, internationalism, and Liberation Theology. We will combine a close reading of cultural artifacts and texts, with a contextualization of Latin America within the post-1945 global order. Among the materials to be discussed are writings by José Donoso, Gabriel García Márquez, and José María Arguedas, folklore and nueva canción latinoamericana, Mafalda comics, Latin American communication studies, art interventions, pop posters, and essays by intellectuals, politicians and priests. |

Given that feminist theories developed in response to and in dialogue with wider sociopolitical, cultural, and philosophical currents, the course will explore feminist literary and cultural theory in an interdisciplinary context.

| Description: | The class will address the ways in which religion, empire and cultural contact converged to create new masculine identities in colonial Hispanic America. We will examine how European models of masculinity were shaped through contact with a religious and cultural "other" to produce a series of new colonial masculinities. We will read theoretical and critical works which will provide us with the tools to analyze masculinity not as a fixed and consistent concept, but rather as an evolving and contested idea which challenged Western notions of idealized manhood and revealed the anxiety behind society´s need to maintain this same ideal. We will examine a series of texts authored by men and occasionally women whose work allows us to interrogate the construction of series of key masculine figures including the conquistador, the missionary, the "savage" and the martyr. Primary readings will include authors such as Ignatius of Loyola, Bartolomé de las Casas, Hernán Cortés, Guaman Poma, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Valle y Caviedes. Secondary critical readings will feature, among others, selections from Connell, Wiegman, Laqueur and Breitenberg. |

| Description: | This class proposes a reading of key works of Mexican literature of the 21st century along three axes. First, the class will discuss the ways in which Mexican writers negotiate with an institutional landscape defined by high levels of economic investment in literature from the State and the gradual consolidation of publishing structures into two corporations (Penguin Random House and Planeta), the State and a group of independent presses (Sexto Piso, Almadía). Second, the course will engage with the ideological transformations in Mexican literature resulting from the so-called "transition to democracy" as well as the increase in political and criminal violence. Finally, the course will debate various concepts utilized to understand the aesthetics and politics of Mexican literature, including "necroescritura," "desapropiación," "narconarrativa" and "postliteratura." These study will be conducted by focusing on key authors who are at the center of literary practice today, such as Juan Villoro, Valeria Luiselli, Cristina Rivera Garza and Julián Herbert, as well as writers who are proposing fundamental changes of paradigm in literary writing: Yuri Herrera, Guadalupe Nettel, Sara Uribe and Jorge Humberto Chávez, among others. |

| Description: | With novels that include everything from talking refrigerators to ghostly twins, alternate histories to extraterrestrials, Latin American narrative of the last two decades from Mexico to Argentina has seen the rise of a "nueva narrativa weird." We will explore the various theorizations of the "weird," from Lovecraft, Freud, Borges and Cortázar to more recent conceptualizations and use them to evaluate novels by Rodrigo Fresán, Guadalupe Nettel, Jorge Baradit, Mike Wilson, Daniela Tarazona, Edmundo Paz Soldán and Álvaro Bisama. We will examine themes that run from cyborg theory to underground culture and a developing narrative aesthetic of intertextuality based on mashups and sampling. |
