SPAN 082. México lindo y maldito: Representaciones culturales de la Ciudad de México
This course explores the complex cultural representations of Mexico City, where pre-Columbian traditions meet Western hypermodernity in an atmosphere of ritualized chaos, tumultuous politics, choking pollution, and overpopulation. This course studies literature, urban chronicles, and films that treat Mexico’s megalopolis as their central figure. Readings will also include theoretical texts that will help us understand the different socioeconomic and cultural layers that shape the city and its inhabitants. Main topics to explore include: modernization, neoliberalism, social inequality, urban society, social degradation, and cultural identity.
