HISP 325 - Caos y Destrucción: Literatura Transatlántica de Ciencia Ficción

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
In this course, we will analyze literary works that imagine human existence in a futuristic setting. In the selected works, contemporary social and political conflicts manifest as pretexts to reflect upon and examine socio-economical and political systems that engender extreme violence and foster acute apathy within Spanish and Latin American society. Each text presents a fantastical narrative of the nation, or of events that prompt a critical interrogation of the national imaginary and identity. Taught in Spanish.

Prerequisites: HISP 304.

This course is appropriate for new students based on placement exam.
