HISP 478 - Pedagogy and Culture in Latin America


Fall or Spring (3) Root Prerequisite(s): One HISP course numbered between 290 and 360, or consent of instructor

During the colonial period, members of the elite intellectual class configured the predominantly urban institutions of Latin America. This course studies colonial Spanish American texts that simultaneously reflect on and unmask the privileged discourse of the lettered city. Grounded in literature, film, cultural theory and history, this course uncovers the politics of education and dynamics of everyday life in the Americas as it relates to the framing of early human rights concerns, debates regarding the status of women, the formation of pre-national identities, and postcolonial continuities contested by liberatory pedagogies advocating transformative social change.
