SP 351 - Argentine Literature:Foreigners at Home

Institution:

Wagner College

Subject:

Description:

One unit. This course looks at the major contributions that Argentine poets, novelists, short story writers, and dramatists have made to world literature. Argentina was not only the fi rst country in Latin America with urban culture but also the place where European modernity erupted. Writers like Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortázar echoed and continued the experiments of modern European literature but gave to that tradition a particularly American perspective. The class includes, but is not limited to works by Borges, Cortázar, Ocampo, Storni, Gambaro, Sábato, Puig, and Timerman amongothers. It also addresses such issues as politics and censorship, the fantastic in literature, urban and rural confl icts, and gender representations. Prerequisite: SP 310 or permission of the instructor. Offered as required.
