With, Not About: Creative Complicity in Contemporary Latin American Arts, Film and Literature
Instructor: Adriana Bezerra da Silva
Course Description:
The course will highlight Latin American artistic, audiovisual, and literary productions from the past 20 years, analyzed using a close reading method. Students will explore the differences and similarities of the subjects represented in these works. They will be encouraged to cultivate a critical intercultural perspective that allows them to engage with these views of reality in a complicit and reflective manner. Based on these readings, students will write essays aimed at achieving a critical understanding, rather than the exoticized one of the homogenized thinking of the global North. Subjects often viewed as marginal will gain prominence through an exploration of the power dynamics that shape global thought. The themes addressed in the analyzed productions include sustainable ways of engaging with the environment, diverse perceptions of the passage of time, collectivism versus individualism, and alternative identities.

Creative Writing in Spanish: Writing from Memory
Instructor: Jorge Sagastume
Course Description:
Cross-listed with CRWR 219-02. This course introduces students to the art of creative writing, exploring fiction and non-fiction with a particular emphasis on memoir and the role of memory. Participants will draw from memory triggers-such as photography, short films, art, sculpture, and music-as they reflect on their experiences and identities. Through these mediums, students will learn to embrace the contingencies of life and reimagine their stories. A vital component of the course will be translation between Spanish and English. Equally important is the broader sense of translating lived and imagined experiences into narrative form. This dual exploration of language and reality will guide students on a transformative journey of creative expression applied to life.

Entanglements in the Colonial Americas
Instructor: Elise Bartosik-Velez
Course Description:
Cross-listed with LALC 300-01. This course encourages students to rethink the traditional nation-centric narratives of colonial British and Spanish American history, according to which the histories and literatures of the two regions developed separately and rarely overlapped. Instead, we will learn the extent to which these histories were entangled. Students will read both historical and literary texts as we explore how peoples of the Early Americas navigated fluid environments in which multilingual and multicultural experiences helped constitute complex intersectional personal and regional identities. This course ultimately asks students to consider what it meant to be "American" in such dynamic zones of exchange. It will be taught in English. Readings will be in both English and Spanish; English translations of Spanish texts will be provided for students taking the course for credit in English. These students will submit written work in English. Students wanting credit for Spanish are expected to read the Spanish originals and required to submit written work in Spanish.
