SPN 481 Biopolitics in Hispanic Art, Cinema, and Fiction

Students develop a practicum of ethics for approaching contexts of suffering, injustice, and upheaval that impact human life. Historical texts, fiction, cinema, and art works present biopolitical issues relevant to Spain and Latin America such as motherhood, reproduction, migration, colonialism, dictatorship, and genocide. By applying bioethics to representations of the human body, we will innovate our thinking about the treatment of human life.
