Course Description:
With an emphasis on close reading of literary and cinematic texts, this course will explore the construction of physical, imaginary, metaphorical, and ideological borders in narrative and films that engage the Mexico-U.S. border. In addition to literary texts, students will devote special attention to theoretical and critical frameworks in light of the intersections of identity politics and the effects of the possible delimiting borders within Mexico.
