Expanded Course Description
| During the late 20th century, much of Latin America was engulfed by intense political conflict, the legacies of which still resonate. Focusing on Chile, Argentina, El Salvador, and especially Guatemala— whose genocide has been repeatedly examined in a rich display of documentary, fiction, film and anthropological study—, this course comparatively examines these periods of dictatorship and violence, and then explores how these societies have reckoned with their powerful aftermath through imaginative artifacts. Topics covered include documentary film’s capacity to perform justice work, indigenous rights and performative rites of repair, peace processes, truth commissions, transitional justice, activism, law, and the politics of historical interpretation. |
