SPAN 160C1 – The Arts and Politics in Latin America

This course deals with the relationship between politics and cultural expressions in Latin America. These cultural expressions studied are literature, muralism, music, paintings, documentaries, escrache and cinema. How do these expressions relate to what was, and it's still happening in Latin American society? How do people in power shape systems? How do artists criticize or support governments? How do their art reflect their context?

Students will investigate and analyze how governments collaborate shaping the system, and explore how changes such as dictatorships, revolutions, conquests, etc., affect a society, and discuss how art helps us have a better understanding of our history and our role as global citizens.
