LI 230 LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE



The course begins with manifestations of pre-Hispanic literacy, and arrives at Modernism, a paramount movement in Latin American literature that questioned conventional notions about literary discourse. Designed as a survey, this course will provide background knowledge necessary for understanding the study of Latin American literature, as well as provide a deeper appreciation for Latin American culture. In this course special attention will be given to readings that describe the development of cultural and aesthetic movements in the social-historical contexts of Latin America. Political and cultural issues, therefore, will be of primary interest and would focus on analysis and class discussion.Prerequisite: EN101; (Completion of EN102 is also recommended) 3 Credits Prerequisite: EN101; (Completion of EN102 is also recommended)
