SPAN 114: Latinx in Children’s Literature and Film


Units: 4

Engages students in an in-depth study of Latino/a/xs in children’s literature and film, with special attention to issues of representation and self-representation, reception, publishing, markets, stereotypes, historical evolution, bilingualism, and other linguistic and cultural issues. Combines film analysis and literary criticism to explore how Latino/a/xs have been represented and have represented themselves in these media. In addition, the course exposes students to social and cultural aspects of the Latino/a/x experience in the U.S. that are essential to this type of analysis (including demographics, gender, class, and race nuances) as well as to pedagogical and educational considerations. Taught in Spanish.
