It closely examines the work of Rosario Castellanos and Domitila Barrios Ch\u00fangara and the transition from antipatriarchy to anti-U.S. imperialism, and the presence of poetry as a weapon in defense of civil liberties.

What critiques of societal problems and injustices are portrayed in cinema? Are there universal themes around justice, or is the cultural context key? This seminar, conducted in Spanish, examines the intersections of law, justice, society, and film in present-day Spain. Through discussing acclaimed films by Spanish directors from the 1950s to the present, we analyze how legal and ethical questions are raised, debated, and dramatized artistically in the contemporary era. Examining scenes, symbolism, and character arcs, we ask: How are universal themes localized through Spanish culture? How do filmmakers put unique lenses on societal challenges? How might cinema influence public discourse on rights and reforms? Students can expect dynamic debates analyzing films and clips through critical frameworks around law, justice, politics, class, and cross-cultural ethics.

The course contrasts with the more recognizable function given to the genre in the region: the re-examination of history, specifically under dictatorships. The course explores the re-configurations\/character(istics) of the sleuth, the nature of crime, the victim, the perpetrator, and the cultural obstacles to the truth. It pays particular attention to the representation of patriarchal institutions that obstruct  finding the culprit: the Church, the Family, and Law. Various analytical approaches are used, including comparative approaches between north and south, research being done across the Atlantic, and the critical work being done from and about the noir novel in Latin America. An effort is made to not collapse all countries in the region under the common rubric, Latin America &#8211; reason for which writings from different countries are studied, and cultural differences are highlighted.

The course is organized as a series of weekly debate seminars to discuss works that explore issues such as domestic violence, rape, forced marriage, the defense of \u201chonor,\u201d crimes within the confessional, jealousy, and workplace harassment.

This course studies stagings and film versions of La casa de Bernarda Alba to analyze the intersection of gender, class, and sexuality under an oppressive power that results in feminine rebellion. Loosely based on Lorca\u2019s play, Marcus Gardley\u2019s The House That Will Not Stand (2014) is a comedy about free women of color in antebellum New Orleans, where the matriarch is the mistress  of a powerful white man under the social custom of pla\u00e7age, a system of concubinage between free women of color and white men. Race, gender, power, wealth, class, and freedom in these two related plays become the object of a deconstructive analysis. The course will be taught in Spanish.

This word and its related concepts have become an instrument to construct groups of human beings as the Other and to situate them in a position to be conquered\u2014invaded, and dispossessed\u2014or destroyed on account of their real or perceived practices, such as anthropophagy, sodomy, or idolatry. This short-term unit uses historical, literary, and visual texts about the conquest of America. The unit also studies critical texts that evaluate the evidence of cannibalism among the Aztecs, the Incas, the Caribbeans, enslaved Africans, and Europeans. Integral to dispossession and annihilation as a conquering practice is the concept of the manhunt, that is, the use of technologies, modern as well as ancient, to persecute individuals and groups that the State has decided to eliminate or to keep in conditions of civil inferiority. The course will be taught in Spanish. Recommended background: coursework in Africana, American studies, anthropology, gender and sexuality studies, history, or literature.
