ARGS 850 - Diaspora and Space in Hispanic Fiction and Film3 credits
Examines current theories on migration, borderlands, displacement, and de/reterritorialization that occur as a result of global movements of peoples and artifacts. Rethinks notions of roots, routes, and the experience of separation in diasporic communities as they selectively preserve traditions, and acquire new ones. Identity is seen as occupying a “thirdspace” which is constantly shifting and changing in an endless process of reformulation. Considers the role of space and the environment as sites of power and contestation, and the transformation of private/public spaces in hybrid and transnational communities. The above theories may be applied to case studies, as follows: contemporary Latin American migrants to the United States and Spain; cultural artifacts; and historical diasporas of Africans and Jews in Latin America seen through a colonial and postcolonial lens.
