In this course we will read some Latin American modern fiction novels, novellas, poems - that play with words and subvert the formal rules of conventional language and orthographic writing. We will try to explore how they question some of the dominant discourses about "language" in the Latin American intellectual tradition, such as the traditions of philology and linguistics. Beside the texts of literature (Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Julio Cortazar, Vicente Huidobro), we will read some different reflection about language, game and jokes (Wittgenstein, Freud, Heidegger) and some extracts of the important grammarians and philologists of the Spanish language Required Texts: Cortazar, Julio Hopscotch Pantheon Instructor(s): Juan Cristobal Castro Time(s): Monday and Wednesday, 2:00-3:30 pm Place(s): Old Little Theatre, Rm. 160B << Back |
