Latin American Narratives of Resistance have been produced during every stage of historical development of the region, from the early 16th century period of explorations and conquest to our 21st century era of Post, Trans, and Hyper-national enterprises. Contemporary narratives of resistance are intrinsically related to diverse causes such as national liberation struggles, indigenous movements, global and environmental concerns, identity politics, animal rights, and accessibility. The seminar will focus primarily on narratives from the region of Latin America known as the Bolivarian nations: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and Venezuela. We will study narratives of resistance as expressed through essays, manifestos and declarations, testimonios, poetry, song lyrics, short stories, novels, documentaries, and film.
