Description: This course looks at two key moments in the history of the Mexican avant-garde. We will begin by looking at the "historical" avant-garde of the 1920s and 30s, focusing on the estridentistas and on the Contemporaneos group, and reading works by Arqueles Vela, Xavier Icaza, Slavador Novo, Xavier Villaurrutia and Gilberto Owen. We will also study the emergence of a second avant-garde, represented by works such as La semana de colores by Elena Garro and ?Aguila o sol? by Octavio Paz. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Third year Spanish or permission of instructor.
