This course explores Latin America’s sonic and auditory cultures, investigating how sound plays a central role in cultural expression and identity formation. Students will examine how diverse communities across the Global South engage with and interpret sound through various sonic objects—from artistic creations to industrial sounds and natural phenomena—and research the listening practices unique to Latin American communities. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from sound studies, media studies, postcolonial studies, and critical race theory, the course will explore how sound mediates power, social relations, and the boundaries between the human and the non-human. Emphasizing a Global South perspective, this course invites students to critically examine sound’s role in shaping Latin American communities’ lived experiences, offering a deeper understanding of how sonic practices define the region’s culture.

Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quijote de la Mancha is widely considered to be the first modern novel of the Western tradition. It has influenced the likes of Nabokov, Sterne, Melville, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Borges, Dickens, and Faulkner (who reread it every year), among others. In a recent literary poll of the “100 Best Books of All Time,” in which the aforementioned authors remained unranked and “all on an equal footing,” some of the greatest living writers (Salman Rushdie, Assia Djebar, Herta Müller, Orhan Pamuk, Doris Lessing, Milan Kundera, Amitav Ghosh, Nadine Gordimer, Christa Wolf…) made an exception for Don Quijote, calling it the “best literary work ever written.” To what is such ubiquitous and unparalleled praise due? The purpose of this course will be to read Don Quijote in its entirety and to gain a critical understanding of the major cultural, historical, and political issues at play in the novel. We will seek, on the one hand, to draw out the general or ‘universal’ features that have established its place in the international literary canon while, on the other, to understand these features within the unique context of early modern Spain. By exploring such themes as parody, humor, madness, metafiction, psychoanalysis, chivalric literature, translation, and Moorish culture, the class will establish connections with other disciplines and literary traditions as well. Taught in Spanish.

Johns Hopkins holds one of the largest collections of ephemeral Spanish drama outside of Spain. Despite their modest appearance, JHU's comedias sueltas are unique witnesses to a prolific and rich dramatic culture in early modern Europe. In addition to works by the masters of Spain's Golden Age such as Lope de Vega, Pedro Calderón de la Barca, and Tirso de Molina, this collection comprises works by lesser-known figures from the long eighteenth century, including numerous anonymous works and even several that are unattested in the literary record. In this class, we will read and discuss representative works of these types, paying close attention to the context of the production and use of the copies in Special Collections at JHU. The final project will culminate in either a written translation or a performance of one of the comedias sueltas in the JHU collection. Taught in Spanish.

What is an illness? How do we define a sick body? How can literature, films and art convey suffering and healing? How do traditional histories of medicine structure sickness? Is there a perception––and representation––of illness that can be specific to Latin American culture? How does the Spanish language address issues of sickness, disability, and pain? This course will explore experiences of illness, suffering, pain, and healing through the readings of narratives, works of theory and criticism, and the writings of artists themselves, as well as film, artistic practices, and documentaries. Discussions will place the narratives of illness in the intersections with the history of public health, biomedical history, and the sociocultural history of disease in Latin America. Within the framework of the Medicine, Science, and the Humanities major, students will learn to recognize the value and relevance of literature and art to their personal, educational, and professional growth.

As the humanities grapple with climate change, theories emerging from or centered on Amazonia contribute to a broader rethinking of the relationship between nature and culture, challenging the very definitions of these terms and the core tenets of modernity. This course explores how Amazonia has sparked new ways of thinking and aesthetic languages. We will focus on recent scholarship in archeology, anthropology, environmental humanities, and literary and cultural studies in relation to earlier ideas about Amazonia. Alongside this, we will examine literature, photography, film, and multimedia, discussing the ways in which the encounter with Amazonia has shaped aesthetic practices and, in turn, how these practices contribute to or even anticipate theoretical perspectives. Topics include thinking and its manifestations beyond the human, cosmotechnics and/as cosmopolitics, representation, and the ontological turn. Readings will include work by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Aparecida Vilaça, Eduardo Kohn, Philippe Descola, Emanuele Coccia, Davi Kopenawa, Bruce Albert, Eduardo Neves, Macarena Gómez-Barris, Lucia Sá, among others. All readings and discussions will be in English.

This seminar takes as its jumping off point the question of how the representation of race and ethnicity intersects with theories surrounding aesthetics, literary form, and speculation writ large, proposing that the investigation of these elements and their various imbrications offer an important aperture to consider the contemporary, and ways to reflect on the haunting remainders of history as they become manifest in cultural production.

Spanish surrealism emerged unevenly. Some writers and artists sought out the surrealist label while others rejected or ignored it altogether. Some attempted to adhere to André Breton’s “Surrealist Manifesto” while others went decidedly against its principles. Yet surrealism, in one way or another, took over the Spanish artistic scene during the 1920s and ’30s. Today, it is associated with Federico García Lorca, Salvador Dalí, and Luis Buñuel. Friends, roommates, and even lovers, Lorca, Dalí, and Buñuel came to define surrealism’s acceptance, rejection, and indifference in Spain. This seminar will examine the moment of Spanish surrealism through these three figures. The course will include the study of film, art, drama, poetry, and nonfiction. Taught in Spanish.

Manifestos have been instrumental in shaping cultural, political, and social landscapes. Moving through and beyond the literary canon, this course examines manifestos as distinctive literary artifacts that intertwine art, politics, and calls to action, deeply reflecting the times and ideals from which they emerged. Focusing on Latin America, this interdisciplinary course examines the evolution of the manifesto as a discursive genre in the region. It traces its trajectory from the early 20th-century literary and artistic avant-gardes to the new contemporary forms of social, ecological, and political activism. The course includes a broad survey of cultural artifacts contextualized within historical and contemporary perspectives on identity, politics, ethics, aesthetics, nature, human and non-human rights, and social justice. Our classes will encompass texts from various countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and others. The course integrates insights from diverse fields such as poetics, philosophy, literary studies, sound and media studies, design, and typography. This course will be conducted in Spanish, with reading and writing assignments accepted in Spanish and Portuguese, which will be encouraged and warmly welcomed. This is is the 600-level version of the undergrad course, with directed reading and grad-specific assignments in addition to the undergrad coursework.

Humanists possess a reservoir of scholarly abilities that prime them for contributing to debates well beyond the academy. This semester-long workshop will introduce graduate students to the basics of writing for such broad audience. Each session will be organized around particular topics in public humanities writing, including the pitching, writing, editing, and publishing processes of newspapers, magazines, and online outlets. We will also consider the forms of writing that most allow scholars to draw from their academic training and research: reviews, personal essays, op-eds, interviews, and profiles. Throughout the course we will see how the interdisciplinarity, comparativism, and multilingualism of fields from across the humanities can be helpful for reaching wide audiences. Beyond the nuts and bolts of getting started in so-called “public” writing, this course aspires to teach graduate students how to combine quality writing with academic knowledge, scholarly analysis with a general intellectual readership—and, ultimately, make academic knowledge a public good. Taught in English.
