Course content
|
The subject of the course is an overview of the development of the borderline literary genres of essay and literary chronicle in Latin American literature. In the non-literary dimension, students are introduced to the most important circumstances that influenced the formation of Latin American thought after independence (i.e., in the 19th and 20th centuries) and the role of Latin American intellectuals in the search for national identity, which is reflected in many of the analyzed works. From the literary perspective, the course focuses on the characteristics of both genres, the choice of literary language through which writers depict social realities, and the specific relationship formed between author and reader when reading essays and literary chronicles.
