Expanded Course Description
Examinaremos varias producciones literarias, cinematográficas, y artísticas de los Estados Unidos, México, y otras partes de América Latina desde finales de los 1960s hasta el presente, con el objetivo de identificar las estrategias que se utiliza en cada una de ellas para conceptualizar la presencia o ausencia del gobierno en la vida cotidiana de diferentes sectores sociales. Esto nos permitirá señalar cómo estas obras desafían las narrativas oficiales gubernamentales.
In this course we consider how the state is conceptualized as an absent presence in contemporary Mexican society and beyond through film, literature, and other forms of cultural production. Our primary materials share in chronicling the lives and stories of people whose understanding of the state is rooted in their own lived experiences and in the process of bearing witness to the lived experiences of others. By placing these films and other materials in dialogue with one another, we will be able to articulate the broader social conditions of possibility in which terms such as “¡Fue el Estado!”(México); “No!” (Chile); and “No Kings!” (USA) have mobilized people across different sectors of society toward common purposes at specific historical junctures.
