HMS-443 Gender and Sexualities in Latin American Cinema

3 Credits

An in-depth look at the history, regions, and social contexts of Latin American cinema via key women, queer, and trans filmmakers and screenwriters and the analysis of female, femme, and masc representations. Students learn about films and their contexts as well as about key theories of gender and sexualities applied to film studies and film analysis. The course includes materials that can be accessed in Spanish or English, and thus gives students with advanced or mid-level knowledge of Spanish the opportunity to practice. No prior knowledge of Spanish is required to complete the course.
