What is a Caribbean image? Does that thing exist, and what is made of? Moreover, can this image become an image on contemporary times? This course will face these questions as working hypothesis, not as rhetorical questions foreshadowing predictable answers. The course will discuss a selection of literary texts, music, videos and websites, as a way of opening up a conversation on the notion of contemporary times in the Hispanic Caribbean.
