Class will consist of weekly screenings of narrative and documentary films from countries such as the U.S., Cuba, Mexico, Perú, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Brazil and Argentina. Among some of the topics to be explored are: Does representation of homosexuality in Latin America vary from country to country and, if so, why the difference?  Is there a common thread that ties these images together?
