SPAN 351 - Magical Realism to Globalization in Spanish-American Literature & Film4 credits
A study of the major developments in Latin American literature and film in the past half century. First we concentrate on the literary aesthetics of the “Boom” - the movement that propelled Latin American literature into world recognition - and will consider theoretically the use of magical realism through close readings of representative canonical works. The second half of the course will center on the most recent prose and film of new generations of artists (such as the “McOndo” and “Crack Generation” movements, among others) depicting the impact of globalization, transnational forces, consumerism, migrations, and external influences upon Latin American identity. Taught in English. CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Diversity International, CLA-Writing Intensive
