TOPIC TITLE: ¿Pa’lante? Gender, Alterity, and Social (In)Justice in 19th Century Latin American Llterature The 19th century is a period of great progress and extraordinary turmoil in Latin America. As the region struggles to carve a path out of colonially for themselves, the literature of this period regularly stages visions of hope and fear about the prospects of these emergent nation-states and remaining Spanish colonies. We will analyze the ways in which these writings trace both the promises and the failures of their “imagined communities.” Drawing on Latin American cultural studies, postcolonial theory, and gender and sexuality studies, we will explore how particular figures and themes highlight how exactly the “we” of nationhood is defined, the costs of particular inclusions and exclusions, and to what extent the marginalized are able to redraw the boundaries of nationality. Our approach will be grounded in intersectionality, but we will also pay particular attention to issues of race, gender, and religion over the course of the semester. The syllabus will include major 19th Century Latin American authors such as Rubén Dario, Gertrudis Góméz de Avellaneda, Jorge Isaacs, José Martí, and Ricardo Palma along with some lesser known writers and films depicting 18th and 19th Century Latin American social issues and struggles.
