WS 346 - Contemporary Hispanic Women Writers:The Novelists

Institution:

Lehigh University

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the works of Hispanic women writers who have been oppositional to hegemonic cultural politics during the twentieth century in Latin America and Spain. Grounding the readings in their particular contexts, the class discusses the issues these writers define as important in their work, the impact of their creations in both the literary cannon as well as in the politics of their countries, the use of literature as a weapon to empower minority positions, and the effect of their narratives on the changing literary cannon. Special attention will be paid to issues related to interpretations of history, exile, different forms of violence and repression, expressions of desire, and sexuality. Portela (HU)
