Class Description:: This course will offer a vision of Brazilian culture, history, and politics, as seen primarily through foundational literary works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We will focus on the time period immediately after the arrival of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil in 1808 until today, a time when globalization is re-defining territorial, economic, and political borders, while the mass-media (for good or ill) plays a powerful homogenizing role from a cultural standpoint. Aside from novels, short stories, poetry, and crticial readings, our course will also include several paradigmatic films that will help us sort through the main thematics that will be explored, namely: national identity, authoritarianism, the role of women, social exclusion, dictatorship, and modernization. This course will be taught by visiting professor Lucia Helena.
