SPANSH 159 - Escrituras de la crisis: Violencia y narracion en la Latinoamerica contemporanea

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

How have Latin American literature and film of the past three decades articulated the many forms of violence in a region facing complex armed conflicts, wars deployed around the drug trade, and diverse forms of political unrest? We will investigate how contemporary texts reflect on linguistic, ethical and social dimensions of subjectivity in times of crisis and provide productive analytical frameworks to examine violence, history and memory in the region.
