PRIM TEXTS OF LATIN AMER CIV

It focuses on key texts from Latin America in their historical and intellectual context and seeks to understand their structure and the practical purposes they served using close reading and, when possible, translations. The course seeks to establish a counterpoint to the list of canonical texts of Contemporary Civilization. The selections are not intended to be compared directly to those in CC but to raise questions about the different contexts in which ideas are used, the critical exchanges and influences (within and beyond Latin America) that shaped ideas in the region, and the long-term intellectual, political, and cultural pursuits that have defined Latin American history. The active engagement of students toward these texts is the most important aspect of class work and assignments. NO FIRST YEAR STUDENTS PERMITTED.

True Crime

Over the centuries, readers have been drawn to accounts of “true” crime—violent narratives involving real people and real events. And yet, as with any literary object, the notion of “truth” is always unstable—stories and their tellings are always shaped by the motivations, values, and choices of those who tell them, often with an eye toward the audience that will consume them. Whether constructed in order to moralize, to enforce or critique social or political ideologies, or purely to sell copies, “true
crime” is a literary genre that reveals attitudes about gender, race, and class; that illustrates—and sometimes calls into question—cultural norms and mores; that calls on readers to reflect on their own morbid curiosity and assumptions and fears. In this class we will engage with a diverse selection of literary texts—spanning from the Middle Ages to the present day and from a range of genres, including pamphlets, plays, novels, and more—as well as contemporary films, a tv series, and a
podcast. Through close reading and critical analysis, we will examine the evolution of the “true crime” genre and the cultural and societal contexts that shape the portrayal of crime for popular consumption. We will explore the ways in which texts and authors sensationalize, moralize, and convey the complexities of crime. We will analyze point of view: who’s telling the story, whom we sympathize with, and what insights we get into the minds of those committing crimes as well as those who fall prey to them. We will consider justice and policing— the role played by the law and its enforcers in shaping narratives about crime and punishment, right and wrong. Finally, we will reflect on the ethical implications of representing real-life crimes in literature, and how “true crime” narratives shape social perceptions, fears, prejudices, and notions of justice and morality.

Refugee/Exile

This course explores representations of forced and voluntary migration through a selection of
global literary texts and films. Examining novels, short stories, and films, the course will ask
students to reflect on how aesthetic representations of exile complicate notions of home,
belonging, sovereignty, and identity. Beginning with the birth of the modern refugee after World
War II, with its legal and political consolidation by the UN 1951 Refugee Convention, we will
discuss several dimensions of displacement and the ways in which these are differently
experienced by individuals. We will move from scenes of interminable bureaucratic stasis in
post-war Europe to depictions of border crossings along the Mexico-US border, will hear the
voices of Iranian women alongside those of Vietnamese American writers working to articulate
complex identities, and much more. While examining this constellation of diverse materials, we
will attend both to the historical and political specificity of each as well as to productive points
of convergence that they share by asking:
 What do we understand to be the possibilities and limitations of art in portraying the
experience of refugees, exiles, and migrants?
 How has exile become one of the central metaphors of modernity, and what does this
universalism bring to the fore and elide?
 How can aesthetic representation challenge popular depictions of refugees as innocent
supplicants in need of empathy and instead refigure them as political actors?
 How do these complicated texts reinforce and contest narratives that depict forced
migration as a linear movement from unstable peripheries to stable centers?

Field Too Large: War, City, System

TOO LARGE: WAR, CITY, SYS

How does one represent things that seem too large, or too complex, to understand?  What rhetorical strategies of compression, exemplification, typification, or visualization do we need to make such events or objects comprehensible?  And what sorts of risks – aesthetic, ethical, political – do we run in trying to do so?  In this course, we’ll move through a number of writers who have grappled with these basic problems of representation, focusing our attention on three particular kinds of excessively large objects: wars, cities, and economic systems.

Objects in this course may include: literature from Caryl Churchill, Teju Cole, Arthur Conan Doyle, Amitav Ghosh, Patricia Highsmith, Homer, Jamaica Kincaid, Edgar Allan Poe, and Virginia Woolf; maps from Charles Joseph Minard and John Snow; criticism and theory from Jane Jacobs, Immanuel Kant, Georg Lukács, Franco Moretti, Georg Simmel, Susan Sontag, and Raymond Williams.  Course costs will not exceed $30.
