P501	  Literatures of the Portuguese Speaking World II	

This course is the second part of a two-part survey of the
literatures of the Portuguese-speaking world. We will read prose
fiction, poetry and theater from Portugal, Brazil, and Lusophone
Africa, produced between the mid-nineteenth century and the late
twentieth century. As a survey, this course aims to give students a
broad view of literary production in the Portuguese-speaking world.
Accordingly, we will examine representative texts of several
different literary periods and movements, striving to understand
their significance within the sweep of national and transnational
literary history and within the broader socio-political contexts in
which the texts were conceived.

Requirements: A midterm exam, an oral presentation, and a final
paper (undergraduates: 8-10pp. graduate students: 15-20 pp.).
Graduate students will write an additional, short paper which will
consist of a critical review of a book-length study, to be chosen in
consultation with the instructor.


* Please note this course meets jointly with P401.
