HUM 330 - Representative Modern Latin American Fiction in Translation

Institution:

Widener University-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces the student to modern Latin American fiction in translation. Part of the course will be dedicated to the study of short fiction and part to representative contemporary novels. Both genres should enable the student to reach a clearer understanding of the "real" rather than the "official" story Latin America. A broad spectrum of writers is reflected in the choice of novels and short fiction studied. These writers represent a variety of countries and will invite interesting comparisons and contrasts regarding style and content. A dominant theme that characterizes much of the literature is a search for identity, and the student will come to see "realismo mágico" noonly as a style but also as an integral part of the Latin American way of life. 3 semester hours
