ML 4450 - Hispanic Women Writers

Institution:

SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

Modern Languages

Description:

Taught in Spanish. A close reading and analysis of major works of fiction and poetry by Hispanic women. Students will be introduced to signifiacant pre-20th century authors; however the main focus of the course will be on contemporary texts. Selected writers from different areas, such as Emelia Pardo Bazan, Maria Luisa Bomba, Julia de Burgos, Rosario Ferre, Elena Poniatowska, Gabriela Mistral, Isabel Allende, et al., will give students a sense of the diversity and range of Hipanic women's writing. We will examine these writers' response to "machismo" and the limited role of women in traditional societies. Questions concerning the feminine literary tradition, such as how the female experience is represented in texts written by women, and whether there is a specifically "female" writing will also be discussed. Offered every third semester. Prerequisite: ML4400 or permission of ML faculty.
