Course Description
This course provides a literary study of the diverse representations of modern social revolutions, particularly those in Latin America, as they are presented by the narrative corpus of the region. It analyzes the literary representation of social revolution within 20 century Latin American narratives, particularly those related to contexts of cultural and revolutionary change in regions of Mesoamerica and the Hispanic Caribbean. The course also examines cultural and aesthetic changes in specific contexts of twentieth-century Latin American history (realism, naturalism, surrealism, the magic realism, testimonials) as they operate in narratives with a revolutionary theme. It also discusses the representation of roles of gender, sexuality and subalternity as they appear in the narratives of the corpus.
