Analysis of contemporary Latin American literature focused on the relationship between aesthetic form and subaltern position. The course begins with a theoretical framework (Spivak, Cornejo Polar, García Canclini, Rama, Ludmer, Garramuňo, Ranciére, Bourriaud) and proceeds through three thematic axes: the body as a territory shaped by labor, illness, and animality (Eltit, Meruane, Tarazona); migration and forced displacement (Luiselli, Balam Rodrigo); and forms of community and collective experimentation (Rivera Garza, Guillermoprieto, Zelko).
