NEW VALUES OF LITERATURE AND CULTURE IN LATIN-AMERICAN CITIES
In this course we will discuss the role of literature in the process of urban modernization, taking into account Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, in the decades of 1930 and 1950, and the works of Robert Arlt and Nelson Rodrigues, respectively. This confront between fiction and cities will be extended to nowadays, when the influence of audiovisual technology in the urban life have modified the literary mode of production, as well as its importance in the nourishing of social mythologies. To this end, we intend to privilege theoretical approaches by Silviano Santiago, Beatriz Sarlo and Ricardo Piglia, as they relate literary experience and social life in the modernity and besides, in Latin American context.
To conclude this investigation, we will consider some screen adaptation of novels and plays, as Os sete gatinhos, O beijo no asfalto, A dama do lotação by Nelson Rodrigues, Cidade de Deus, by Paulo Lins, O Matador, by Patrícia Melo, Um Crime Delicado, by Sérgio Sant’Anna and O Invasor, by Marçal Aquino, as well as American Visa, by the bolivian author Juan de Recacoechea.
