Main themes
This course examines the principal currents of the period in question: modernismo, vanguardia, postvanguardia, nueva novela, etc.
The course describes the uneven process of development from modernism up to and including the "explosion" of the Sixties. It underlines the heterogeneity of the various cultural fields of the continent and their specific interactions with European and North American literatures, and also with the intellectual heritage before the 20th century ("crónicas de Indias" of the 16th and 17th centuries; essays of the 19th century).

Content
The course will alternate lectures on key trends and authors, and textual analysis that will focus on key characteristics of the trend under consideration, as well as the aesthetical and ideological characteristics of the authors discussed.
The course will be divided in three main parts:
1. the two irruptions of Modernity (Modernism and Darío; Avant-garde and Girondo);
2° renovation and internationalization of the art of narrating (Quiroga, Borges, Asturias, Carpentier, Rulfo);
3° the "boom" of the short story (Cortázar and García Márquez).
Exercises enable students to assimilate the material seen in the lectures on the basis of individual or collective tasks.
