SN 369 - From Baroque to Enlightenment: Novo-Hispanic Perspectives

(3.00 cr.)

Examines texts written by Criollo authors from New Spain whose works demonstrate the ongoing construction of identities in colonial Mexico. These narrations intertwine personal, fictional, and collective events and show the diversity of the colonial reality observed and constructed by these writers. Texts are studied in light of cultural, social, and historical contexts. Readings include the late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century authors Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Carlos Sigüenza y Góngora, Francisco Xavier Clavijero, S.J., Father Servando Teresa de Mier, and José Joaquín Fernández di Lizardi. Visual images and secondary texts serve as complementary course materials.
