Swashbuckling pirates, swindling bandits and disobedient women...
...are but a few of the many identities that we will explore in SPAN 314: Early Literary Identities of Spanish America. Students will embark upon a survey of pre-colonial to early national texts from Spanish America as we answer the following questions: How does Spanish American literary and cultural production engage notions of identity? How do the notions of gender, race, nationalism, and space change as Latin America shifts from a system of colonies to a system of nation-states? Readings, assignments and classroom discussions will be in Spanish. PREREQUISITE: SPAN 250 or 254 or consent of instructor.
