Kids: Youth Cultures in Contemporary Latin America

3–5 credits · Undergraduate

To the rhythm of Latin trap and K-Pop, a new generation of artists portrays the youth cultures that revolutionize contemporary Latin America: Juli Delgado (Colombia), Claudia Huaquimilla (Chile), and Ioshua (Argentina), among others. From a selection of movies, plays, and short stories produced by these emerging artists, we will delve into the strategies deployed by Latin American teenagers to face the challenges of a convulsed present: forced migration, labor exploitation, racial violence, and sexual discrimination. Taught in Spanish.
