CMPL 316 - Surrealistas en M

HC ARHU CD

2 credits
Besides reading the Mexican texts for CMPL 327 in the original (Paz, Rulfo, Garc Mquez’s Mexican years), we will examine in greater detail the world of the European Surrealists as cultural tourists (Breton, Artaud) or exiles (Varo, Carrington) in Mexico, and follow the Mexican response to this movement in poetry and art from the First Surrealist Exposition in Mexico City in 1940 through to the mad Chilean-Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky. Taught in Spanish.
Prerequisites & Notes: HISP 304 or equivalent.
