Class topic: Legacies of Movimiento Poetics - While discussing poetry in Keywords for Latina/o Studies, Puerto Rican poet and critic Urayoan Noel noted a tension between, on the one hand, the ?embodied histories? and ?movimiento legacies? of Latine poetry and, on the other, the ?institutionalizing imperative? behind the rise of Latina/o Studies in the 1980s and 1990s. This course surveys the written, oral/aural, and visual works of Latine poets from the 1950s to present day, tracing the connections and disconnections between movimiento poetics?which begins with the Chicano and Puerto Rican literary movements of the 1960s?and contemporary Latine poetry. This course proposes that what remains ?consistent? in Latine poetry and poetics is the process and practice of movement itself?a propulsion with or against?that frequently lands us between or even outside of manufactured borders between languages, nations, cultures, genders, institutions, and media
