3.00 Credits
Taught in Spanish. Este curso examina la presencia del Islam y el concepto del “oriente” en el Cono Sur, especialmente Argentina. Leeremos obras de los siglos 19 y 20 que representan al oriente, y discutiremos los significados y cambios que la llegada de inmigrantes “islámicos” produjo en la cultura literaria de esta zona de América Latina. Tendremos en cuenta de forma particular que el problema del “oriente” en España y sus colonias es un problema “interno”. Debido a que la península ibérica tuvo una importante presencia musulmana durante toda la edad media (711-1609), en los círculos europeos España fue considerada “islámica” u “oriental” también durante los tiempos modernos. Es así que el Oriente llega a América con la conquista de los españoles “islamizados.” Cross-listed with PLAS

Together, we'll spend three weeks immersed in one of the biggest books of the late twentieth century -- big not only in its themes (entertainment, addiction, late capitalism), but also in its 1000-plus pages and hundreds of footnotes. But don't be daunted! It's also one of the funniest, sharpest books you'll ever read. Our discussions will touch on postmodernism, point of view, sentence structure, and writerly empathy; although this is primarily a reading class, expect a few DFW-based writing exercises.
