GENERO Y SEXUALIDAD EN REVOLUCIONES Y DICTADURAS LATINOAMERICANAS, 1959-PRESENTE

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

In this course, participants will analyze how ideas about gender and sexuality influenced left-wing revolutionary movements and right-wing military dictatorships in Latin America since 1959, considering both the political history and the experiences of contemporaries in cases such as Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Nicaragua, among others. The class methodology is based on lectures, reading of bibliography and historical documents, and analysis of historical films and documentaries. Students in this course will demonstrate their comprehension and capacity for analytical interpretation through the writing of reports on course materials and, as a final project, the creation of a scrapbook of a historical figure, recounting their experiences from a gender and sexuality perspective.
