In this portion of the Final Exam, we'll ask you how art and literature
helps you understand a specified period in Latin America's history.
Bad news: we get to specify the period, not you.
More bad news: the periods include ones covered in the whole course,
not just since the mid-term.
The period will be one of the
following:
Pre-columbian
Encounter and Conquest
Colonial baroque
Independence and Neoclassicism
Mid-19th Century (Romanticism, Costumbrismo)
Late 19th Century (Modernism, Positivism, Naturalism)
Good
news: nothing in the 20th Century (too complicated).
