This course offers a close reading of Early Modern voyage narratives from colonial Latin America and the Philipines. Particular focus is paid on
Baroque and Enlightenment preoccupations with the fantastical and the exotic as central themes in maritime writing of the First Global Age (c. 1450-1800). The course also engages with the multiethnic nature of Hispanic communities emerging in the Atlantic and Pacific Basins as a product of early globalization. Readings may include the following: captivity and disaster narratives, exploration and scientific logs, naval and pirate accounts, and missionary chronicles.
