Melodrama Affect/Lat Am Media

Melodrama and Affect in Latin American Media
In this course we will trace the development of melodrama in Latin American media from the 19th century to today and explore how the feelings elicited by distinct melodramas engage ideological, social, and racial understandings inextricably tied to commercial, industrial, and technological innovations. As well as drawing on thinkers working in/on Latin America (and beyond), we will examine primary works produced throughout the region like serialized novels in the press (i.e., el folletín), films, radio dramas, comics, television (especially telenovelas), video games, and new media. (At least two Spanish courses at the 0300-level or above, or by waiver)
