SPN 431 - Latin America in Colonial TimesCourse Units: 1.0 (TBD: Staff) This course examines European, indigenous, mestizo and African chronicles of the encounter between Europeans, slaves and native Americans that started in the fifteenth century with the emergence of the “New World.” By looking closely at the colonization and subsequent reconfiguration of communities and their cultures, the course analyzes the chronicle and representation of this trans-Atlantic collision and exchange from a historiographic and literary perspective. We will read travel journals, poetry, drama, histories, ethnographies, and other types of textual/visual production such as films and codices, a diverse production that bore witness to the many ways in which the various peoples of and in the Americas documented, perceived, and imagined the old and the new, themselves and others. Prerequisite(s): Two 300-level courses. CC: LCCS, HUL
