SPAN 115: Chicanx Literature
Units: 4
Offers a representative overview and in-depth study of Chicano/a/x literature, from colonial times to the present. A socio-historical framework is outlined in order to establish a larger context from which this literature can be approached. Through the analysis of works from different genres, the student is exposed to the main themes, techniques, styles, etc. of some of the most influential Chicano/a authors, including writers from the Central Valley. Main aspects to be covered include: literary history (including issues of canonicity and reception), bilingualism and literature (including both stylistic and sociolinguistic approaches), ethnicity and race, gender parameters, the aesthetics of the borderlands, class and regional variations, migration and diaspora, literature and folklore, and the journalistic tradition, among others. Taught in Spanish.
