L38 Span 3226Debating Cultures: Gender and Feminism in Contemporary Latin American Fiction3.0 Units
Description:This course will explore the innovative feminist theory and fiction written by Latin American women and feminine-identifying writers in the twenty-first century. We will read and debate a broad range of texts together to think critically about how gender is represented in fiction and to practice doing feminist or gender-focused readings of literary works. During the first part of the class, we will explore major contemporary trends in Latin American feminisms, examining their key themes and differences and using their insights to analyze and critique the ways gender categories are constructed and mobilized in society. We will then transition to reading fiction, using the critical tools we have developed through reading and discussion to analyze the content and form of novels and short narratives. These stories will help us open a dialogue about how gender and feminist concepts are represented in fiction and intersected by dynamics of race, class, sexuality, memory, violence, family, care, and identity. By the end of our course, you will have the skills and conceptual foundation necessary to craft, write, and present your own original analysis of a fictional text through the lens of gender and/or feminism, and to apply these approaches to any literary or artistic work you may encounter outside the classroom. Prior or concurrent enrollment in Spanish 303 is required. Students who have taken more than two Spanish culture or literature classes are not allowed in this course and must proceed to a Researching Cultures class.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
