The Bicultural Imagination: Latinx Cultures in the U.S.

Course Description

A study of the textual, filmic, and televisual representations of and by Latinx communities in the U.S., with an emphasis on how depictions of biculturalism, ethnic identity, and Latinidad have developed, differed, and evolved to the present day. Through a range of primary sources and interdisciplinary frameworks, examines the contestatory and generational role of these communities in their own representation, and considers how Latinx cultural production interconnects with the shifting discourses about class, gender, ethnicity, and multiculturalism in the United States. Taught in English.
