DESCRIPTION
This course will introduce students to the richness, variety and ideology of Latin American literature through a historical perspective, taking into account the social, cultural, and political contexts that are reflected in each work. As such, we will begin with older texts and authors moving toward the most contemporary to provide a sound chronological backdrop on which to base discussion and argumentation. Because the literary movements we will study are so closely related to developments in all areas of artistic endeavor, we will also link the readings to other art forms, specifically film.
