ILAC 243: The Millenium Novel in Latin America

Between 2000 and 2012, a young Spanish American novel emerges, taking at times a minimalist point of view to narrate individual stories with a subjective tone, or continuing a tradition of the historical panorama to present national tragedies that occurred in the last two or three decades. Focus is on this new type of novel from different countries, with such titles as "El cuerpo en que nací" by Guadalupe Entel; "Las teorías salvajes" by Pola Oloixarac; "El ruido de las cosas al caer" by Juan Gabriel Vazquez; and "Bonsai" by Alejandro Zambra, among others.

ILAC 248: Distant Borders: Hispanic Migrations

Cinema and literature have been a great source to understand the drama of migration, and the course will use extensively these forms of artistic representation.

We will give particular attention to the "invisible" guerrillas" (the women) in revolutionary moments. That view will be enhanced by films and literature on this subject.
