Subject:

Description:

Since the 1960s, Latin American writers have used el/a travesti, and more recently, transgender characters in their fictional narratives. These works may be read as political allegories, as interventions in national identity construction as well as in existing traditional gender discourses, or as an engagement with contemporary Latin American human rights movements. Students read the original works in Spanish. The theoretical framework may be read in English, although all discussions and written assignments are in Spanish. Prerequisite(s): Spanish 215. C. Aburto Guzmán.
