Desc:AFRO-LATIN AMERICA: BODIES AND VOICE. This class will introduce students to Afro-Latin American culture and literature from its inception to the present through representative textual and audiovisual culture. We will define the concepts of Afro-Latin American culture and literature. We will address the questions of what, who, where, why, how is Afro-Latin America? The course will privilege the black perspective, reading representations of black cultural practices against the grain. The aim of the course is to help students understand the role people of African descent and black culture has had and continues to have in the development of Latin American society and culture. The course seeks to deconstruct and expand our notions of Afro-Latin America. Students will become familiar with concepts such as race, ethnicity, confraternity, palenuqe/quilombo, and cultural agency. Classes will combine lectures by the instructor, student presentations, collective debates and cooperative learning, and will entail the use of required bibliography and audiovisual materials.

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.
