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. |

In this course we will study the different metaphors, ideas and social attitudes about love that have appeared in the Iberian Peninsula from the eighth to the twenty-first centuries in various cultural artifacts. We will start with the poetic traditions brought by the Arabs, which were a mix of learned and popular culture, and Ibn Hazm's EL COLLAR DE LA PALOMA, an eleventh century Moorish love treatise, and will end with the movies, literature and TV programs produced after 1975, the year Spain entered into its last democratic period, after 36 years of Franco's dictatorship. We will learn about matchmakers, courtly love, romantic love, love sickness and its cure, heterosexual and same sex relationships, and the ways in which these issues have been viewed and treated in poetic, social and legal terms during the past thirteen hundred years, since the Muslims arrived in Spain (711 A.C.) to the present time.This is a writing-intensive course, which requires a minimum of 3 papers of approx. 4-5pp. length, with rewrites; 50% of the grade must come from written work.

Considered first as nomadic plainsmen, gauchos or the cowboys of the Río de la Plata became celebrated insurgent fighters during the independence wars of the 1800s and then integral members of political factions. Only after the modernization of the countryside in the late nineteenth century that radically altered cultural practices did gauchos become national icons and their stories fodder for tales like Martín Fierro and Juan Moreira. Similarly, the first goles scored in the region's soccer matches did not garner much attention. Yet early in the twentieth century fútbol began attracting more players and spectators. The popularity of the game skyrocketed, and with it grew the intertwining of the sport with political power. This course explores the trajectories of gauchos, goles, and a range of cultural practices in between, such as , to understand the intimate connections between popular culture and power. We will consider popular poetry and narratives; stories of melodrama and Peronism; social identity and forms of popular culture; films and plays that engaged life under dictatorship and its memory; and the relationship of fútbol to nation, gender, and political power. This is a writing intensive course, which requires a minimum of 3 papers of approx. 4-5 pp. length, with rewrites; 50% of the grade must come from written work. In Spanish. |

| Description: | The increasing commodification and technological mediation of culture over the past century has transformed the constitution of identities and communities, as well as the very form of the popular and the political. How have these transformations modified our understanding of national, regional, and local cultures in Latin America? How do the ways in which indigenous and urban populations experience identity and community differ? What comes after the dissolution of categories such as LO ALTO, LO POPULAR y LO INDÍGENA? Concentrating on Latin American cultures from the twentieth century to the present, this course takes an interdisciplinary approach in order to answer these questions, and explores them through three aspects of mediation: commodification, technology and consumption. These aspects are studied within four different debates: (1) Literary responses to mass culture: tensions between lettered practices and mass media, the value of democratization, and the politics of mass-oriented culture and literature are analyzed. Authors discussed may include: Mario Vargas Llosa, Ricardo Piglia, and Luis Rafael Sánchez; (2) Communication and nation: the role of technological orality (and its clash with print culture) in the configuration of national and CAMPESINO cultures in the Andes is explored; (3) The emergence of Indigenous media: an analysis of the reformulation of the politics of representation and the agency of "indigenous" and subaltern subjects in the countryside and the city in the midst of the boom of this kind of media throughout Latin America, particularly in the Amazon; (4) Consumer cultures: early twentieth-century consumption of popular print culture (sensationalist press) is compared to current discussions of consumption in contemporary urban Latin America in order to discuss democratization, citizenship, and global identities. Readings include works by Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Arjun Appadurai, Friedrich Kittler, Jean Franco, George Yúdice, and Beatriz Sarlo. Students are encouraged to propose and discuss additional examples of national cases or authors. Prereq: Graduate Standing. In Spanish. |

| Description: | This course will examine the ways in which gender, race, and colonialism informed discourses on nation and empire in the "long" nineteenth century in Spain. Drawing on recent developments in gender, post-colonial, and critical race theories, we will analyze literary and other forms of cultural representation that engaged with major social and political debates of the century, around issues such as slavery, gender equality, prostitution and sex-trafficking, transoceanic migration, racial degeneration, "improvement" (eugenics) and MESTIZAJE. Materials to be examined include plays of the early century, such as María Rosa Gálvez's ZINDA and Duque de Rivas's DON ÁLVARO, the poetry and anti-slavery writings of Romanic authors Carolina Coronado and Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, the narrative fiction of canonical realists such as Galdós, Clarín, and Pardo Bazán, as well as works of popular novelists of the fin-de-siglo, such as López Bago, Eugenio Flores, and Felipe Trigo. |

| Description: | Guided and inspired by the premise of the inherent synergy between theory and analytical practice, this seminar will provide graduate students with hands-on opportunities to (re)read major 20th and 21st century Spanish American narratives--both fictional and non-fictional--through the "applied" lens of select methodological approaches, most of them cross-disciplinary, such as "social discourse" (Angenot, Ducrot), various perspectives on ecocriticism, decoloniality (Mignolo), memory and trauma studies (Jelin and others), semiotics of spaces (Lotman, Lefebvre, Foucault) as well performance and visual studies. Throughout this course we will strive to achieve critically productive "uses" of theory while attempting to avoid mechanical "applications" and "abuses". Works under analysis will include, among others: selected short stories by Juan Rulfo and Amparo Dávila (México), Jorge Luis Borges, Silvina Ocampo and Luisa Valenzuela (Argentina), Ana Lydia Vega Serova, Aida Bahr and Marilyn Bobes (Cuba), along with selections from "canonical" testimonies (Barnet/Montejo, Cuba; Burgos/Menchú, Guatemala), essays (LA FIESTA VIGILADA by Ponte, Cuba), and novels and/or NOVELLAS by Carpentier, Fuentes, and García Márquez. Prereq: Graduate Standing. |
