Conducted in Spanish.This course will focus on twenty-first century fiction from Argentina recently dubbed as la nueva narrativa argentina (Drucaroff). Examining stories and novels from authors such as Dolores Reyes, Samantha Schweblin, Mariana Enrquez, and Agustina Bazterrica, we will trace the common points between their diverse styles, as well as the links to earlier periods of Argentine and Latin American fiction. Among other topics, we will explore their gender politics, environmental consciousness, as well as novel forms of engagement with the last dictatorship (1976-83).
