AREL 861 - Memories and Migrations: U.S. Latinos in Literature and Film3 credits
Studies works that follow the tradition of the (auto)biographical modes of self-representation as they examine the migration, dislocation and settlement in the U.S. of individuals and communities and their process of cultural integration. Focuses on their discursive strategies in relation to the past, nostalgia, and memory. Engages these works with current social elements, such as mass media and local and national policies. Using postcolonial theories of discourse, students also examine how these works situate themselves in light of emerging cultural identities and new cultural realignments. Authors may include Julia Alvarez, Sandra Cisneros, Esmeralda Santiago, Christina Garcia, and Judith Ortiz Cofer; films may include “The Ballad of Gregorio Cortéz, ” “The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love,” “Before Night Falls,” and “Maria Full of Grace.”
