Explores the imaginal world running through literature and music in Puerto Rico, considering the fiesta as a becoming and a shared epiphany of Puerto Rican sociability. Rather than tracing filiations or genealogi es, we listen to how verse is infected by the drum, and which images and narratives insist through danza, bomba, plena, salsa, and reggaeton. Are resistance or identity privileged themes? What does it mean to listen? What do we listen to between rhythms and words? When and how does the fiesta destitute and revolt against the political order? The course studies potens as the becoming of another world: energy and intensities that create worlds in text, song, and dance, and asks whether music can be thought without domestication. We will also examine the limits and fixations of current academic, critical, and political discourse. Taught in Spanish.
