Civiltà amerindiane e afrodiscendenti

In a diachronic perspective spanning the Spanish conquest and the Atlantic slave trade, the course aspires to provide cultural-historical tools to frame some contemporary cultural productions (literature, film, textiles) through which indigenous and Afro-descendant communities affirm, translate and reconfigure their ethnic identity.

Knowledge
Students receive an articulated picture of the trajectories of cultural configuration of indigenous and Afro-descendant identities in Latin America.

Skills
Students acquire the ability to analyze various cultural products (texts, films, music, textiles) through the theoretical-methodological tools of decolonial studies and indigenous epistemologies.
