SPAN 123 - (LT) Politics of the Hispanic World

Semester Hours: 3

Periodically
This course centers on cultural production, social change, and political critique in various places of the global Hispanic world, including Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States. It will address pressing issues of global concern, such as border politics, border lives and existence, migration and frontiers, extractivism and environmental concerns, resistance to environmental degradation, and radical gender and cultural feminist proposals against regionally imposed economic neoliberal designs and policies. The overarching theme and connecting thread for all materials discussed will be the concept of precariousness, understood as a global condition and not limited to the so-called Hispanic World. We will discuss essays, investigative reports, oral narratives, and testimonies, podcasts, documentaries, photography, and music. This course, as all courses with the SPAN prefix, is taught in Spanish.
