Comments
This course delves into the impact and development of post-structuralist theory in Latin America, with a focus on how desire, discourse, and deconstruction have influenced contemporary sociological thought in the region. We will explore the intersections of these themes with social, political, and cultural contexts, examining how in particular Brazilian theorists have engaged with and expanded upon post-structuralist ideas. Brazil will be the key site of investigation, alongside Argentina and Chile.
The course provides an introduction to post-structural thinking. No prior knowledge is required.
