Class Description:
One of the enduring legacies of the Chicano Movement is the mixture of art and politics. This course examines the politically conscious cultural production (literature, music, art, theatre, etc.) of Chicanas and Latinas, much of it produced in the past thirty years. It surveys a representational sampling from various art forms, analyzing the work for not only its artistic sophistication, but also its sociopolitical meaning. What is the role of the artist in community revitalization, the creation of political ideology, or the defining of identity categories? How does historical and cultural context shape art, as well as our understanding of it? How does art both reflect and constitute culture? We will also contemplate the way in which art by women has affected the way we think about the Chicana/o-Latina/o experience. The intersecting and overlapping nature of race, class, and gender will always be part of the conversation.
