Class Description:: El Caribe (el lugar, el imaginario y el tropo) ha servido tanto de cuna como de margen para las grandes narrativas de la modernidad. Tras una lectura integra de textos hispanos, anglofonos y francofonos, indagaremos los discursos de revolucion (C.L.R. James, Alejo Carpentier), del surrealismo (Andre Breton, Aime Cesaire), del barroco (Jose Lezama Lima, Severo Sarduy, Gilles Deleuze) del anti-imperialismo y lo postcolonial (Roberto Fernandez Retamar, Frantz Fanon) y de lo postmoderno (Edouard Glissant, Antonio Benitez-Rojo), en su mutua construccion de las entidades Occidente y Caribe. ?Donde figura la sombra del Caribe--como esclavo, colonia, primitivo o hibrido--en la articulacion de estos pasos de progreso? ?Como son movilizadas las vicisitudes historicas y geograficas del Caribe en la emergencia de una conciencia regional, que si por un lado se advierte como sitio por excelencia de maravilla y de sincretismo cultural, por otro demanda una relectura del desarrollo del capital y el colonialismo como procesos de orden global? Examinaremos estos y otros temas.
