| Course Title: Concepts and Practices of Power: 'Contemporary Latin American Cultures' |
| Start Date: 01/21/2020 End Date: 05/05/2020 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2020 |
| Description: With a historical approach, this course will introduce students to a collage of socio-historic phenomena of 20th and 21st century Latin America such as the military dictatorship in the Southern Cone, magical realism, Mexican Nuevo Cine, the Cuban Revolution, Afro-Caribbean religious syncretism, immigration, and the continuous struggle for indigenous territorial and ecological rights. We will analyze and seek dialogue between empirical texts and cultural manifestations (short stories, film, protest songs, photography), while also discerning structures traversing these phenomena such as those related to gender, inequality, postcolonialism, decolonization, resistance, technology, and the increasingly dominant global economy. |
