| Course Description: | This course studies the tradition of the Gothic mode in Latin America through an an often-overlooked corpus of texts. Since its formal origin in Horace Walpole鈥檚 Castle of Otranto, the Gothic genre and subsequent Gothic mode has spread through diverse areas of the world, percolating into literature, art, and film. During the late XIX century, the texts of Edgar Allan Poe found fertile ground in Latin America, particularly in the minds of modernista writers who began transforming the elements of the Gothic mode to fit a new reality. Since then, the Gothic has resisted contention and continues to rear its head in texts penned by the likes of Jorge Luis Borges and Carlos Fuentes. |
