This course explores relationships among culture, identity, and communication in Latin/e America. Specifically, it examines how communication scholars have studied the rhetorical, performative, and mediated dimensions of Latinidad, mestizaje, and citizenship vis--vis intersecting colonial systems of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Special attention will be given to both the ways in which discourses of coloniality shape contemporary issues affecting identity, culture, and communication in Latin/x America, as well as to the critical efforts to decolonize intellectual and cultural practices in our communities.
