3.0
creditsAverage Course Rating
This course will study ideas and images of and from Latin America that appear in poetic and cinematographic productions from 1968 to 2001. It explores connections between aesthetics and politics in Latin American film and poetry after 1968. We will address questions such as: How do images from poetry and film embody and represent tensions between the rural and the urban, the private and the public, the national and the international spheres? How do multimedia productions destabilize the purity of genres and call attention to the form? We will also look at some recent productions, in order to see continuities and transformations in form and content, and in the role that cinema and poetry play in Latin American societies.
