SPAN 357 - Monsters & Madmen

4 Credits

1 Units

Through a focus on eccentric and marginal figures in 20th and 21st-century Latin American literature, we will examine how society defines itself by what it excludes: the crazy, the monstrous, the deviant, the radically other. We will also consider how representations of those figures may at times constitute resistance and social critique.

Prerequisite: SPAN 210, SPAN 215, and one other 200-level course (or its equivalent abroad)
Credit Type Code: Letter Grade
