HISP 227 - Colonial Latin America

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)


Studies in Latin American literary and cultural production from the European invasion to the crisis of the colonial system.

Topic for 2013/14a: Screening the Past: Filmic Adaptations of Latin American Colonial Society. This course considers how the Latin American, European, and American film industries have imagined, represented, and revised crucial moments and issues from Latin America’s colonial past with a special focus on the contemporary agendas of the filmmakers in their depiction of colonial society, culture, and politics. We study the diverse original colonial texts and sources which inspired these films and examine the cinematic techniques for the adaptation and revision of colonial perspectives, beliefs, and practices that seek to make them accessible and meaningful to contemporary audiences. Mr. Aronna.

Prerequisite(s): one course above HISP 206 .

Two 75-minute periods.
