HISP 328 - Historias de Mujeres Argentinas

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
Though often only recognized belatedly, women of Argentina and Uruguay have made major contributions to their nations, as poets, critics, movie stars, film-makers, and narrators. After some attention to early writers, we will focus on women since World War II: the Peronist era (Eva Per, Ocampo, diGiorgio); writers during the dictatorships (Gorodischer, Valenzuela, Peri Rossi, Sarlo); old and young film-makers (Bemberg, Martel); transnational authors (Shua, Negroni); and recent authors in Cristina Kirchner’s Argentina. Taught in Spanish.
Prerequisites & Notes: HISP 304 or equivalent.
