The current revival of feminist activism and the "mainstreaming" of feminist rhetoric and symbolism are not solely US phenomena. In the last four years, Argentina has experienced one of the most vivid and far-reaching mobilizations in Latin America. And much like the #MeToo movement, Argentine women have mobilized crowds in the streets around a hashtag, #NiUnaMenos. This class will be a theoretically-oriented survey of contemporary women's organizing in the Americas, as well as some of their pivotal recent antecedents.

In this course we will explore the potential that love has for transforming relations with others, and with ourselves. Drawing from feminist scholars and culturemakers, we will focus on both politics and imaginaries in order to come to an appreciation of the critical and utopian potentials that love and radical self-care hold.

Through suspenseful narratives, crime fiction develops the meanings and envisions the social locations of crime and punishment, good and evil, and order and disorder. In this course, we will explore this genre?s thematics, protagonists, and rhetorics of place as ways of problematizing social identity (class, gender, race, ethnicity, indigeneity, sexuality), morality, and the limits of transgression. We will compare the narratives, tropes, and characteristic figures of related genres such as the early social survey and muckraking journalism (such as Henry Mayhew and Jacob Riis).
