Hispanic Studies [221] - Spectral Intensities: Representations of Mexico '68

Institution:

Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

Reflects on the representation of the 1968 Mexican student-popular movement. This movement was largely crushed by the violent massacre at an assembly at the Nonoalco-Tlatelolco apartments. The returns of 1968 at critical moments of the last 40 years form an alternative archive of the Mexican state, which is constantly threatened by both amnesia and appropriation. There is no official record. This situation conditions the appearance of the texts we will read, ranging from testimonios, chronicles and photojournalism, to cinema, digital video and performance, as well as the novel. Prerequisite, 210 or 211 or consent of instructor. Taught in English.
