Topic for 2013/14b: Resistance, Revolution and Art in Latin o/a America. This course examines key moments in Latin o/a American history such as the Mexican, Cuban and Nicaraguan Revolutions, the Argentine Dirty War (1976-83), the Zapatista rebellion and the Chicano movement as sites of struggle and resistance for national sovereignty and social equality. Throughout the semester we will explore both these crucial historical events and also forms of artistic and literary expressions such as, novels, poetry, murals, songs and films which were an intrinsic part of these movements and contributed to defining their philosophical and cultural parameters.
