Course description:

This course will examine the processes of rhetorical self-fashioning enacted in the 20 C. Latin American essay. Furthermore, we will particularly engage recent theories of space in order to analyze the role that landscape and spatiality have played in the construction of a Latin American specificity. Throughout the semester, we will interrogate the relationship between Latin American cultural discourse and spatial theory.
