  • SPAN 137 SC - Translating the Aztecs: Indigenous Cultures and Colonialism in Mexico

    This course considers the translation of Aztec (Nahua) culture across time and mediums such as pictographic books, alphabetic writing, theatrical performance, and film. The moment of conquest will serve as a pivot as we trace a genealogy of indigenous cultural expression through these varied mediums from pre-Columbian times to the present, paying particular attention to alphabetized Nahuatl as a colonial tool of domination that complicates standard ideas of literacy. Against these ideas, students will explore, through artistic projects, alternatives to logocentric “literature.” Coursework includes introductory Nahuatl lessons, paleography using archival documents, and translation workshops.

  • SPAN 139 SC - Plants, Magic, and Race: Intercultural Translations of Shamanism

    This course deals with the construction of ethnic and racial identities around agriculture and the figure of the shaman. Drawing on the various meanings of “colonist,” from the Latin colõnus, we will consider the shamanic transformation of agricultural practice into art. The study of primary materials such as pre-Columbian painted books and musical recordings illustrates this process as one of cultural translation prompted by colonization. Taking the colonial period in Latin America as a historical turning point, we will track the racial criminalization of illicit plant use, which continues by way of the “drug war,” with the help of primary and secondary readings.

  • SPAN 151 SC - “Necropolis”: Detective Novels and Cities in Spain and Latin America

    This course will examine how writers from Spain and Latin America rethink the detective novel as a genre. We will analyze in particular how these authors, by drawing pictures of crime, vice and political intrigues create new urban portraits. Each of these novels could be read as the monograph of a city, a neighborhood, a suburb. The mystery lies also in the blurred boundaries between geographical space, between the real urban violence and fiction, humor and solemnity, nomadism and inertia, ordinary and extraordinary people.

We will also explore the place of indigenous peoples in Caribbean national imaginaries. Our studies of novels, short stories, political essays, films, and other audiovisual materials will allow us to analyze how the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality are “translated” into Caribbean identity formation both nationally and transnationally.

  • SPAN 157 SC - Nineteenth-Century Latin American Literature: Nation, Family, and Romance

    After the wars of Independence of the first half of the 19th century, Latin America’s most urgent concern was the development of new nations. One of the most interesting cultural representations of these nations “coming into being” was the historical romance or the national romance novel. During the course of the semester we will read several Latin American romances and we will study the “public function” of the romantic novel during this period of nation-building. We will analyze how passion, love, and marriage promoted harmony and order as well as the concept of “nation-family,” or the family as the projection of an ideal state. We will show how these novels contributed to contain the gender, racial, social, and economic conflicts that were imminent dangers to the utopian idea of the “natural family” on which national stability was based.

  • SPAN 183 SC - Interculturality and Bilingualism in the Andes

    This course examines “interculturality” as a theoretical and political principle which emerged in the 2000s, as part of indigenous movements in Ecuador and Bolivia, and challenged the colonial and neoliberal nature of nation state projects. This course reflects upon the premises and promises of interculturality through an analysis of literature, testimonies and films by mestizo and indigenous authors from the Andean region. We critically engage in discussions around prevalent ideologies of mestizaje and bilingualism, as well as address the politics of relations among cultures historically in dispute. Philosophies of translation will be key for the analysis of how these cultures related and struggle to coexist.

  • SPAN 184 SC - The Image and the Word/La imagen y la palabra

    The relation between writing, painting, photography and cinema might at first be viewed as a simple and familiar combination of visual and verbal art as felicitous interplay based on affinity and compatibility. However, it also generates numerous theoretical speculations with far-reaching implications for the theorization of art and literature. The potentially frictional relations between the visual image and the written text are especially pertinent for a discussion of the artworks of many Latin American and Spanish artists and writers.
