About this course
This course spans the first six decades of the twentieth century. It covers the works of major authors in their respective genres: the "isms" (Jorge Luis Borges and Vicente Huidobro), the various phases of Pablo Neruda's trajectory, the re-emergence of feminist poetry, the decline of gauchoesque drama (Florencio S�nchez, Samuel Eichelbaum) leading to "reflexive" theatre. Other aspects covered are the novelists - reinterpretation of indigenous Latin American cultures (Alejo Carpentier, Carlos Fuentes), and the surge of the "Boom" (Julio Cort�zar, Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez, etc.).
