The course explores conflict in Colombian society by means of examination of key literary texts and film. From Independence to the One Hundred Days War, and from La Violencia to Pablo Escobar, paramilitaries and 'narco-terrorists', the course examines the ways in which writers and film-makers have sought to use violent conflict in their work.
