Class Description:: Literary Ethnography in Twentieth-Century Latin America This course examines the influence of ethnography on the development of Latin American literary production during the first half of the twentieth century. The emergence in Europe of ethnological and anthropological fields?of which Latin American intellectuals were often students and contributors?inspired a new reticulate through which to revalorize the importance of African and indigenous cultures in the region's colonial and postcolonial legacies. During the semester we will examine Latin American texts from a wide range of genres (essays, poetry, and novels, as well as properly ?anthropological? works) all informed to some degree by an ethnographic view, as well as visual and textual artifacts of their European antecedents and interlocutors. Reading this dialogue from both sides of the Atlantic will allow us to undertake a critical analysis of neoimperial discourses of eugenics, primitivism, surrealism, and various nativisms across lines of coloniality, interrogating the ways in which they are rejected, reproduced, or refashioned by Latin American writers.
