Social Movements and Resistance in Latin America
This course introduces concepts of resistance and activism in Latin American: how social movements are organized, exercised, enacted, and contested. From everyday forms of resistance to organized movements, we will examine the contexts in which they emerge: globalization, neoliberalism, environmental crisis, immigration, and the Covid pandemic. Using texts, films, documentaries, music and visual arts, students will gain an understanding of relevant contemporary Hispanic issues. We look at the indigenous and afro-descendant struggles, feminist practices, factory workers and student activism, and how the resulting resistances and activism propose new social paradigms.
