The guiding principle of this course is that Latinx literary studies is necessarily interdisciplinary scholarship. The course will benefit students of Latinx cultural studies interested in incorporating literature into their work as well as students of literature interested in incorporating interdisciplinary methods into their work. Readings each week will pair a Latinx literary text with scholarship from a range of disciplines as we interrogate how Latinx literary studies intersects with history, anthropology, performance studies, etc., as well as with social justice concerns whose exploration exceeds the confines of academic disciplines.
