Spanish 246 - TOPICS IN LATIN AMERICAN LIT

Topics course. Magical realism has been studied as a way of representing reality that is particularly suited to Latin American needs for expression. This class will explore the rationale behind this conception, in terms of how the representative strategies of magical realism approach the conflictive histories of Latin America. Students will analyze the implications of this approach in films and literary works that use this type of discourse. Prerequisite: SPN 220 or above.

Topic: Reinterpreting Magical Realism.
