SPAN102 CM - Introduction to Latin American Cultural Studies

The rubric of cultural studies has created stimulating approaches that go beyond canonical texts in literature or history in order to study society at large. The main area of inquiry of Latin American cultural studies is symbolic production and cultural and social phenomena in present-day Latin America, from art and literature, to sports and media, music, television, and cultural and social institutions. This course will introduce students to the main theoretical, methodological, and themes of contemporary Latin American cultural studies as well as its foremost practitioners (Néstor García Canclini, Jean Franco, Jesús Martin-Barbero, Carlos Monsiváis, Beatriz Sarlo, among others).
