SPAN 152 CM -Gender in 19th-C Spanish-America

Institution: Claremont McKenna

Description: Nineteenth-century Spanish America experienced great upheaval after the Wars of Independence from Spain (1810-1824). Among the topics of contention as the newly-formed Spanish American nations struggled to formulate sustainable political agendas was the topic of gender. Men and women intellectuals alike responded to dominant discourses from Europe and North America and constructed their own representations of viable gender roles. This course explores some of the ways in which authors dealt with the concepts of masculinity and femininity; sexuality and chastity; the family; and the public and private spheres. Offered every other year. Prerequisite: Spanish 100 or higher.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
