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 Cortázar 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, women’s 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.
