LATAMER 121S - Geographies of the Erotic: Brazilian Literature in Translation

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Latin American Studies

Description:

Whether exoticized or debated as a problematic portrayal of national identity within Brazilian culture, the 'Brazilian body' (not just female), becomes a focal point for discussing questions of race, ethnicity, gender, class-poverty and regional identities. Beginning with documents of 'discovery,' this course maps Brazilian literature in context of these issues, questioning what is erotic and from what view point. Ethical implications of the eroticized image are a central concern of seminar readings and discussions. Taught in English. Instructor: Damasceno
