The Master in Latin American Literature at the Alberto Hurtado University proposes a critical review of the studies of Latin American literature, fed by the most recent theoretical discussions in the field of theory and criticism. It is proposed to develop these studies taking into account both the particularities of national literatures and a consideration of the regional spheres and, more broadly, articulating cross-sectional analyzes that together can account for the complexity of the continent's literary production. This exploration of multiple senses of literary texts currently requires, for its better discernment, interdisciplinary instruments that consider the new tensions between the local and the global. Literary studies contribute to the understanding and debate in contemporary societies based on these and other questions that guide our formative practice:
  • How are problems of identity, modernization processes, politics and memory explored in Latin American literature? migrations, exile?
  • What are the challenges involved in gender studies and the dialogues of literature with other cultural productions?
  • How are literary studies updated under different theoretical turns: biopolitical, affective, intermedial, territorial, among others?
  • In what way do the new cultural, material and geopolitical orders promote the diversification and transformation of literary practices?
  • How are problems of identity, modernization processes, politics and memory, migrations, and exile explored in Latin American literature? What are the challenges involved in gender studies and the dialogues of literature with other cultural productions?
  • How are literary studies updated under different theoretical turns: biopolitical, affective, intermedial, territorial, among others? How do the new cultural, material, and geopolitical orders drive the diversification and transformation of literary practices?

This postgraduate program pays special attention to the specificity of Chilean literature, while organizing the productions of Latin American literature in national and regional territories. From a critical point of view, it offers specific training in Latin American literary theory and criticism and a diversity of contemporary theoretical perspectives. Our magister promotes a formative experience that is not exhausted in the curricular activities or in the work in the classroom. We promote the participation of our students in various instances of training and exchange. In this way, students have the possibility to participate in research meetings, congresses, academic extension activities, seminars and conferences of visiting professors, publications, among others.
