Description:

Perhaps more than any other event in the last quarter of the twentieth century, the AIDS crisis condensed or crystallized cultural anxieties about the body, identity, and difference. In this course, we will examine the cultural response to HIV/AIDS in North and Latin America through fiction, poetry, and visual art from the pandemic's first fifteen years. No knowledge of Spanish or Portuguese is necessary; all materials will be available in English.
