Political Monsters in Cinema

In this course we will discuss what is a monster, and who becomes a political monster in contemporary cinema from Latin America and Spain. Considering some critical texts (e.g., Cohen, Negri, Quijano, Segato, Lugones, Valencia, Ramírez-Blanco) we will emphasize the representation of female bodies, and their depiction as cannibals, ghosts and witches.
