| Term: Spring Semester 2024 |
| Description: This interdisciplinary seminar is a sampling of Latinx cultural history from the mid-18th century to the present. Cultural production in the form of film, literature, and music is discussed in relation to its aesthetic and historical context. Readings will look at cultural processes and products that shape the social life, institutions, discourses, and identities of Latinx communities. We will pay special attention to material and expressive forms, like nameplate chains and lowriders, to highlight that cultural practices and products not only can reflect, but generate and contest power. |
