HISP 327 - Surrealism Narrative from Center to Margins

This course will begin with manifestoes and non-fictional texts by Breton and Aragon, and film, paintings, and collage-novels by Buñuel, Dalí, and Ernst, and move to two margins of Europe where Surrealism was particularly strong, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Texts by Bombal, Rulfo, Felisberto Hernández, Cortázar, early García Márquez, Walser, Schulz, and Gombrowicz; paintings and films by Varo, Kahlo, Carrington, Svankmajer, and the Quay Brothers. Taught in English.
