Overview
Our Latin American, Iberian, and Luso-Afro-Brazilian Literatures and Cultures program at Rutgers University exposes students to an array of research areas and methodologies including the environmental humanities, cinema studies, urban studies, performance studies, gender and queer studies, diaspora studies, and human rights.
Features
- Coursework, workshops, lectures, film screenings, and other events expose students to cutting edge approaches in Hispanophone and Lusophone cultural studies, broadly conceived, including Spain, Portugal, Spanish America, Brazil, the Caribbean, Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Africa, Black diasporas, and more, from the early modern period through contemporary times.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Recent dissertation projects have focused on transatlantic topics such as Lorca’s legacy in Latin America, gypsification in Cuban and Spanish film and performance, and Cuban indianos who return to Spain.
- Spanish American projects have focused on environmental and social apocalypse in Latin America, the Venezuelan crónica and economic crisis, political and gender violence in Colombian cinema, women silent filmmakers in Chile, Central American poetry and environmental degradation, and indigenous autonomy in Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico.
- We welcome comparative and transatlantic dissertation projects that engage with materials in both Spanish and Portuguese; recent projects have compared the literature of the Amazonian rubber boom in Peru and Brazil, and political violence in Portugal, Angola and Colombia.
- A current dissertation explores Afro and Indigenous futurisms in Spanish American and Brazilian literature and film.
