This research seminar, geared toward ILAC grad students and open to all, taught in Spanish, proposes a transversal revision of the Latin American canon from a Law and Humanities perspective, with a special interest in non-human affairs. Primary sources will be determined in consultation with participants and may include Argentine Esteban Echeverría's El matadero (1871), Ecuadorian Jorge Icaza's Huasipungo (1934), Mexican Elena Poniatowska's La noche de Tlatelolco (1971), and Colombian Juan Cárdenas's Los estratos (2013), as well as films by Solanas and Pereira dos Santos. Topics include agrarian reform, juridical personhood of nature, force of law, and representations of nature-cultural collectives. Students will become familiar with the state of the interdiscipline and will be encouraged to position their own research findings within it.
