Spanish 460A - ST:Seeing and not Seeing:Photography and Film in Latin American Literature Valenzuela

Institution:

Whitman College

Subject:

Description:

Is the difference between photography and film self-evident If it's true that "moving" photographs "tell stories", and that only films narrated through accomplished imagery interest us, then the distinction is not so obvious. This seminar explores the representation of photography and film in Latin American literature. It studies photographs and films we don't see but only read about, in texts that use "invisible visual materials" until they alter our notions about their visible counterparts, but which are, themselves, altered in the process. Writers to be studied may include Julio Cortázar, Manuel Puig, J.L. Borges, Roberto Bola o, and Guillermo Cabrera Infante; filmmakers may include Luis Bu uel, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Miguel Littin; and photographers may include Eugenio Dittborn, Alfredo Jaar. This course satisfies the Latin American Literature requirement or the Film/Theater requirement for the major in Spanish Literatures and Cultures. Course taught i n Spanish.
