    Description

    SPA 364 Latin American Women Writers
    Three credit hours
    This course examines a range of work by a number of women writers from Latin America. The course will begin
    with a consideration of the principal issues at stake in approaching the topic of women?s writing (e.g. can writing be
    gendered? Is there such as thing as a women?s language?), in the course of which you will be equipped with the
    relevant vocabulary and conceptual framework necessary for this endeavor. During the rest of the course you will
    study a range of work in different genres by women writers from across Latin America. Issues to be considered
    throughout the course in relation to the texts studied will include: questions of language, social justice, identity,
    family, nationhood and ?race?; and the writers and works? relationship to the literary canon and to broader historical
    contexts of literary production.
