Title: Latin American Studies Seminar: Latin America: Literature in Movement Between Two Centuries, 1990-2010
Description: This seminar will offer an updated view of the Latin American literary field with particular attention to recent developments in novel and short story writing. Subjects analyzed will include the impact of globalization and post modernity on Latin American literature; publishing sector changes; the rise of a new generation of writers; and the outstanding international reputation of Roberto Bolano (1953-2003). The study of the works of Guatemalan Rodrigo Rey Rosa (b. 1958), Cuban Antonio Jose Ponte (b.1964) and Mexican Alvaro Enrigue (b. 1969) will give us a more precise understanding of the present literary scene in Latin America.
