This course examines the mapping of race, gender, and sexuality onto Latinx bodies in popular culture. Working chronologically from the early 20th century to the present, we will examine popular depictions of Latinx people in television, film, music, and print culture. In particular, we will analyze how moral panic has been historically displaced onto Latinx bodies - from Carmen Miranda to Alicia Machado. We will also consider Latinx bodies as agents of resistance to normative discourses, such as those of purity, cleanliness, and religiosity.

Translators, interpreters, and other language professionals help people share and communicate in all kinds of ways when different languages meet. This course brings together translation, interpreting, language services, related academics areas, and the language industry, to explore what lies beyond being bilingual.
