This course explores connections between the socialist armed struggles in the 1970s, women’s rights and feminist movements in Latin America. Through comparative study of literary texts, testimonials and documentary films, the course addresses theoretical issues such as the relevance and limitations of Marxism and feminism, global feminism, hegemony and feminisms produced in the so-called periphery. The course provides a general background of different models of the armed struggle in the Southern Cone, Perú, Central America and Mexico, focusing on women’s narratives, memory and the construction of meaning of the past. Delivered in Spanish.
Prerequisite: SPAN 200, 300 preferred, or the consent of the professor.
