Writings from the Andes
In this course, we will study a broad range of works (including essays, short stories, and novels) produced by Peruvian writers during the twentieth century. The objectives of this course are: 1) to comment on the place of such works in the broader Spanish American Literature Canon, 2) to read different critical essays, which would help us to further evaluate the artistic and structural traits of our primary sources, as well as their historical context of production, and 3) to look at the Andean region as a meaningful place of enunciation and identity formation. Authors will include Mariátegui, Vallejo, Arguedas, Alegría, and Vargas Llosa. Satisfies the IS advanced language requirement in Spanish. (At least two Spanish courses at the 0300 level or above, or by waiver) 3 hrs. lect./disc.
