SPAN 070. Género, diversidad y minorías en Latinoamérica In recent years, sexual minorities achieved major political victories in several Latin American countries, which opened a new social and legal horizon not only for them but also for the society as a whole by strengthening democratic values. This course seeks to analyze the complex socio-political and cultural process that enabled these changes, and to challenge preconceived notions about gender and sexuality in Latin American shaped in the “progressive” center. A selected body of literature, essays and films will allow us to study the cultural politics of gender and sexuality in Latin America. We will explore these issues through theoretical concepts provided by Latin Americanists active in such fields as cultural studies, history, literary criticism, queer studies, and other relevant disciplines. Prerequisite: SPAN 022 , SPAN 023 , the equivalent, or permission of the instructor. Humanities. 1 credit.
