Thus these students as well will be able to study, travel, and work in Argentina and not find themselves in an alien culture

This course surveys Latin American literary texts that have deeply engaged with disability in the 20 th and 21 st century. Against the tendency to treat disability merely as a useful metaphor or to simply import Global Northern vocabulary and methodologies of disability studies to other locations, this course turns to Latin American literary texts by authors that have been directly “touched” by disability to foreground the concerns, vocabularies, and commitments that their texts reveal. This includes authors who either through their personal experience with disability or as caretakers—as parents, siblings, or close friends of people with disabilities—have closely grappled with the experience of non-normative bodies and minds in the Latin American context. In this course we ask how are subjects with disabilities represented in a variety of genres (novel, essay, poem, graphic novel) and what constraints and possibilities circumscribe these subjectivities and their lives. Ultimately, we will ask what vision of disability justice emerges from these localized experiences and creative interventions beyond now globalized disability discourses of inclusion/access and independence/autonomy
