Desc:IMAGINING THE ANDES: ETHNICITY, MODERNITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN PERU. This course explores the main cultural transformations that occurred in the Andean region during the past century, taking Peru as a case study. Borne out of the union of indigenous, Western, African, Asian, and Amazonian traditions, Andean cultures have been a crucial arena for the study of indigeneity, diversity, popular culture, migration, politics, and ecology in Latin America from colonial times to the present. The course will begin by exploring ethnic identities in colonial and postcolonial history, and then will delve into four major topics: (1) indigenismo, nation, and rural cultures, (2) migration and urban cultures, (3) political violence and the struggle for memory and human rights, and (4) the Amazon, indigeneity, and nature conservation in globalized times. In order to offer an interdisciplinary approach to these topics, course materials will include myths, folklore, music, autobiographical accounts, photography, film, journalism, anthropology, literature, and essay. Course taught in Spanish. Readings in Spanish and English.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
