SPAN 4319 - Borges


This course offers an overview of Borges’ short stories and some essays and poems. The aim is to present Borges as dominating the great shift in literary sensibility in Spanish America in the 1940s, his influence on the ‘Boom’ and the relevance of his work to the notions of Modernism and Post-modernism in the Anglo-Saxon sense. The course will attempt to cover not only the thematics of Borges’ main works but also his innovations in technique. Prerequisites: SPAN 3010 and 3300 or departmental permission.
