HISP 458 - Borges to Cortázar: Fantasy and Violence in Argentine Literature 1930-1955


FC ARHU CD WADV
4 credits
In an Argentina first of dictatorships and then of a populist autocrat, the middle-aged Borges and the young Cortar discover their radically new approaches to fantastic literature. Even authors who abhor violence in real life are drawn to lurid portraits of universal infamy, and genres as disparate as socialist painting, tango lyrics, womens autobiography, and anarchist theater are affected. We will also examine the writings associated with that Argentine magnet of fantasy and violence, Eva Per. Taught in Spanish.
