This seminar presents us with the opportunity to study the interrelated topics of gender, sexuality, literary representation, and power through the critical interpretation of Mexican literary texts, primarily from the 20th century and the present. We will read literary and theoretical texts alongside one another, asking how both types of text help us think about the topics that present points of contact and divergence among them. We will read from theories of feminism, queerness, and affect, among others. We will study works by a range of writers, including Ines Arredondo, Luis Zapata, Cristina Rivera Garza, Sara Uribe, and Guadalupe Nettel. Taught in Spanish.
