SPN.3010 Latin American Novel and Film
This course traces the movement of the contemporary novel away from realism toward self-referentiality. It also studies how literary works are transformed into film, and analyzes the relationship between literature and film. Topics include film adaptations of novels, the cinematic narrative, and the integration of cinematic techniques in the literary text. We analyze screenings of film adaptations. Works by Carpentier, Garcia Marquez, Borges, Cortazar, Quiroga, F. Hernandez, Rulfo, Bioy Casares, Fuentes, Puig, and Vargas Llosa will be studied.
