Topics course. This class looks at how Latin American filmmakers and writers have imagined this region's place in the post Cold War global configuration since the 1990s. Through the analysis of films such as Amores Perros (2000), and El secreto de sus ojos (2009), as well as recent literary works by authors from various backgrounds, students explore cultural production as an alternate means of negotiating conflicts related to immigration, drug trafficking, free trade agreements, media and consumer culture and continuing political instability. Enrollment limited to 14. {A}
Topic: Literature, Film & Transnational Imagination/ Latin America. Instructor permission.
