Semestre
Breve descriptor:
La asignatura estudia la obra de autoras y autores nativo-americanos, afroamericanos, asiático-americanos, árabe-americanos y de ascendencia latina y chicana, así como la obra de autores y autoras migrantes y de la diáspora en EEUU. Aborda el estudio de la raza y la etnicidad desde el punto de vista de estos colectivos para analizar desde diversos ángulos este complejo fenómeno sociocultural, trazando temas, géneros y motivos comunes entre sus literaturas, sin obviar la singularidad de cada colectivo y su contexto histórico social. Se analizarán, entre otros aspectos, cómo las cuestiones raciales están estrechamente vinculadas a cuestiones lingüísticas, históricas, de género y de hegemonía en EEUU. El curso podrá incluir lecturas de distintos géneros: ensayo, autobiografía, novela, relato breve, poemas, teatro y narrativas gráficas.

The course analyzes, among other aspects, how race and ethnicity are inextricably linked to language, history, nation-building and hegemony in the US. The course might include readings of multiple genres, including critical essays, life writing, novels, short stories, poems, plays, and graphic narratives.
