SPAN 458 - La Ciudad Hispana en el Cine

Unit(s): 4

Given that cinema in Latin America is primordially urban, in this class we ask what can films tell us about Latin American urban spaces. In doing so students will not only become familiar with urban theories and philosophical reflections on urban space favored by Modernity, but also explore the ways in which these theories have been co-opted, interpreted and subverted in Latin America by Latin American urban theorist, citizens and filmmakers.
