What is at stake in scrutinizing the ethical dimensions of human\/ animal relations? How might such questioning be relevant for understanding dominant ideas about race, racial mixing and nation that shape Brazilian cultural identity?

Though we will focus principally on Brazilian texts, we will situate them in the context of cross-cultural discussions in ecocriticism and species studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LTAM 110 (A00) &#8211; Latin American Literature in Translation: \u201cBrazilian Humanimals: Species, Race and Gender in Brazilian Literature\u201d University of California, San Diego Spring 2012 Alexandra Isfahani-Hammond, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Luso-Brazilian Studies How do gender, race and species intersect in Brazilian literary representations?
