From the Buenos Aires and Paris of Ruben Dario, and the Havana and New York of José Martí, all the way to the slums of Rio de Janeiro and Ciudad Juarez, the city has been a reality in modern Latin American literature and film. We will study the alienated cityscapes of Storni, Neruda, and Vallejo, the bohemian city of Bolaño's Mexico, and the vivid ruins of post-Castro Havana. We will also study Borges and Garro's imaginary cities (and the nostalgia for small towns of García Márquez's Macondo). Taught in Spanish.
