HISP 317 - Survey of Latin American Literature I: Defining Latin America Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4HU, CD
After Columbus’ 1492 voyage, a New World emerged. This course looks at writings by Europeans and ‘Americans’ during the conquest and colonial period, and traces the subsequent development of regional and national literatures. Although broad in scope, the course focuses on three questions: How did Latin America differentiate itself culturally from Europe? What characterizes a New World criollo tradition? How are national literary canons constructed during independence? Films complement the readings. This course is taught in Spanish.
