The Politics of World Literature Focusing on the case of the Hispanic culture(s), this seminar will expose participants to emerging discussions in World Literature (1) that question how we think about literary texts in circulation in different geographical contexts, (2) that investigate how different world system frameworks, such as empire and coloniality, reshape the practice of literature and (3) that track how corporate and transnational market policies impact both artistic and social practices in the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. By discussing a variety of cross-cultural exchanges, our course methodology will focus on four central questions: production, circulation, translation, and migration. Prerequisite(s): Take SPAN-22300 or SPAN-22400. [AH, C]
