Course Description:
This First Year Seminar is an introduction to LatinX in the U.S. with emphasis on the distinctions and similarities that have shaped the experiences and the cultural imagination among different Latinx communities by critically analyzing works from a range of genres and cultural expressions including comics, fiction, memoirs, film, music, and performance, along with recent literary and cultural theory works. The course will explore some of the themes and issues that inform LatinX cultural production. Topics to be discussed include identity formation and negotiation in terms of language, race, gender, sexuality, and class; the colonial subject; diaspora and emigration; the marketing of the Latinx identity; and activism through art. |
