Power, Identity, and Globalization in Contemporary Latin American Culture

Course Description

Traces the development of cultural movements and socio-political forces across Latin America over the last decades in order to contextualize and examine contemporary Latin American cultural production in the era of globalization. Paying particular attention to the dichotomies between individual, collective, and (trans)national identities across a variety of cultural expressions (fiction, film, and television), analyzes the intersections of class, personal agency, violence, sexuality, consumerism, and displacement in the construction and representation of globalized Latin American identities.
