HISP 312 - Foundational Tropes/Contested Tropes:"The Gaucho"

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Several debates, themes, images or tropes seem to constitute a symbolic and discursive core of Latin American cultural history: "The Savage," "The Gaucho," "The Mestizo," "The Captive," "The Matriach," "The Landowner," "The Enightened Tyrant," "The Developer," and "The Immigrant." These concepts are, in turn, connected to notions of Europeanness, whiteness, civilization, capitalist development, and progress. Through the examination of a series of literary texts and documents from different historical periods and literary and ideological movements, this course explores the origin and historical evolution of these recurring and enduring themes and metaphors. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
