SNH 4002 - Latin American Thought (3)

When Offered: On Demand
This course is a study of the evolution of ideas in Latin America through the literature produced from the second part of the nineteenth century until the present. By reading and critically studying different literary genres (namely poetry, fiction, and essays), the student will gain a comprehensive understanding of how Latin-American poets, novelists, and essayists have shaped, transformed, mapped, and contributed to the evolution of what we call Latin American thought. Likewise, students will learn that Latin America is necessarily integrative and that it is and it has been interconnected with the world throughout history. The skills that the students will have the opportunity to learn in this course can be applied to a number of disciplines beyond literature, namely politics, negotiation, business, and conflict resolution.
Prerequisites: SNH 2025  and junior or senior standing.
