Las nuestras: narradoras latinoamericanas del siglo XXI

Centering women’s writing as a key site of aesthetic and political experimentation, this course examines twenty-first-century Latin American literature from a comparative, cross-regional perspective across Spanish-speaking contexts and diasporas. Through novels, short stories, and essays, we explore how established and emerging writers engage gender, race, indignity, inequality, territory, and ecology as intertwined terrains of literary creation and intervention. Drawing on feminist, transfeminist, decolonial, speculative, and multispecies frameworks, the course approaches literature as a critical and disruptive practice that unsettles male-dominant canons, interrogates regimes of value and recognition, and generates situated, affective, and theoretically engaged modes of storytelling and critical inquiry.
