Latin American Literature in Dialogue with France

Catalog description

Complicates the question of influence in Latin American literary and intellectual self-fashioning, specifically with regard to France. Explores the productivity and perplexity of this relationship through romanticism and articulations of the real (as realism, surrealism and magical realism). Approaching the twenty-first century, considers Latin American perspectives on French theories of feminism, postmodernism and globalization.
