Our America: Literatures of a Continent

Exploration of representative literary creations spanning the entire American continent, under the premise that "America" is more than the United States. It seeks to create a comparative inter-American space where historical and cultural interplays, encounters, convergences, and divergences may be discussed and explored. The course may include, among other authors, José Martí, Mark Twain, Roberto Bolaño, Machado de Assis, William Faulkner, Juan Rulfo, Clarice Lispector, Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz, Zora Neale Hurston, and Margaret Atwood.
