Spanish proficiency

1. Know the major milestones of Latin American literature, inserting them in their historical and cultural context according to the various literary currents. 2. Analyze a literary text according to the main characteristics and specificities of Latin American literature. 3. Introduce students to the techniques of analysis and documentary research into any matter concerning this literature.

During the course, the literary production of Latin American authors will be reviewed from Modernism to the present, with emphasis on those authors who are of special relevance. Whenever possible, an attempt will be made to establish a transatlantic dialogue, that is, a dialogue with Spanish literary production. Given that the scope of the course of work is very comprehensive, relevant authors and texts will be selected for study.

Literature and supplementary material are the main instruments to be used during classes. The tutorial system (place and schedule) will be provided at the beginning of the course.
