GSFS 426 - Latin American Literature and the Narrative of the Queer and the Perverse

FC ARHU CD

This course offers a critical look at the narratives that helped define abnormal sexuality in Latin America. We begin with Freud, Foucault, and Manuel Puig. Then we read about criminalized sexuality in 20th-century Mexico; narratives by F.Hernández, Pizarnik, and Peri Rossi riffing off Freudian essays on fetishism and lesbianism; and the Latin trans experience, featured prominently in essayists, novelists (Donoso, Lemebel, R. Indiana Hernández, Cabezón Cámara), graphic novelists (G. Hernandez), contemporary anthropology, and documentaries. Taught in Spanish.

Prerequisites: HISP 304.
This course is cross-listed with HISP-426
