Description:

The goal of this course is two-fold. First, it aims at greater familiarization with urban Latin America vis-à-vis popular culture ("bubblegum"), sports ("baseball"), and post-dictatorship/violence literature ("boom"). Second, the course offers a range of theoretical texts in social sciences, cultural studies, and literary criticism focused on Latin America empirically but of a larger, more general value. In addition, this is a writing-intensive course, the mechanics of which help structure the nuts-and-bolts of the course. Students are evaluated on how they are able to articulate the ideas and descriptions embedded in the reading material to their own interpretations and their own mini-projects. This is an advanced undergraduate/graduate course, in which students must come prepared to engage in an intense schedule of reading, writing, and discussion.
