Course Description

Prerequisites: One course from S324, S328, S331, S333, S334

This course explores Latina/o/x culture in the United States from the 19th century until today. We will analyze a diverse body of Latina/o/x cultural production (including literature, visual culture, music, advertising, and food) in relation to various socio-historical contexts. Among the topics we will cover are the representations of legendary resistance figures after the Mexican-American War; language and identity; racial, ethnic, and political conflict; civil rights; the creation and commodification of Latina/o/x identity; Latina/o/x popular culture; gender and sexuality; and immigration. In addition, students will further develop the concepts and skills necessary to analyze the particular ways in which different cultural texts produce meaning. 

Note: HISP-S 413 is combined with HISP-S 498 (13713)

This course carries CASE A&H and CASE DUS distribution credit.
