SPN 330 - Contemporary Hispanic Women’s Short Fiction

Course Units: 1.0

(TBD: Staff) This course focuses on Latin American and Spanish women’s contemporary (20th & 21st centuries) short fiction. It centers on the close reading of selected works that deal with some of the most significant formative female experiences and perspectives in contemporary Latin-American societies and in the analyses of selected films. The course examines how women’s creative expressions explore political and social realities that question the laws and myths surrounding their formation, call critical attention to the foundations and manifestations of a patriarchal order, and offer alternative visions of, or models for, a renewed social life. Prerequisite(s): SPN 203 or permission of the instructor. CC: LCCS, HUL
