All are forms of Latin American popular culture that are increasingly part of our everyday reality here in the U.S. All are also inseparable from stories of inequality, ethnic tensions and celebrations, understandings of gender relations, and notions of hope that blend ideas of nation with cultural consumption. While popular culture in Latin America is often considered a contemporary phenomenon, linked to the twentieth century and the mass production of cultural goods-film, books, music-it has deeper roots. We can trace these back to the nineteenth century, where people, cultural processes, and phenomena literally began making Latin America popular. This course will survey the emergence and variety of modern popular culture in Latin America, from the 1800s to the present. Readings may include best sellers, gaucho poetry, stories of urban life and folk heroes, and texts from the late twentieth-century engaging themes from dictatorship to the Latinx experience. We will also learn about the intersections between race, nation, and music, explore the emotional and political power of fútbol, and delve into the appeal of telenovelas across socioeconomic divides. Historical and anthropological essays will also guide us throughout the semester. |

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 the wake of such momentous events as president Obama's visit to Cuba (March 2016), Fidel Castro's death (November 2016) and the end of Raul Castro's presidency (April 2018), for many Americans the island has advanced from the category of a forbidden and exotic fruit to a full-fledged reality. Now is a good time to ask not only "What is next for Cuba?" but also "What can we learn from Castro's revolutionary experiments"? This course explores the paradoxes of Cuban lives on the island and in the diaspora-the good, the bad and the in-between-along with the intertwined histories of the United States and Cuba. Using a combination of literary texts (Carpentier, Cabrera Infante, Ponte, Bobes, Obejas, Morejón, Padura), films ("Strawberry and Chocolate," "Guantanamera," "The Promise," "The New Art of Making Ruins"), artwork (Mendieta, Bruguera, Garaicoa), political speeches, and unique visual materials compiled by the instructor throughout her many research trips to Cuba, we will look at the island's contemporary reality through the lens of its colonial and postcolonial past. Topics include ethnic and gender identities, the "myths" of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, African-Cuban spirituality, popular music, political oppression and dissent, and the interplay of migration and exile, along with multiple perspectives on everyday life (foreign tourism, food rationing, dual-currency economy, restoration of colonial Havana, education, and healthcare).

With novels that include everything from talking refrigerators to ghostly twins, alternate histories to extraterrestrials, Latin American narrative of the last two decades from Mexico to Argentina has seen the rise of a "nueva narrativa weird." We will begin by surveying the roots of the weird in the twentieth century with stories by Leopoldo Lugones, Horacio Quiroga and Jorge Luis Borges. We will then focus on this new genre, studying LA CIUDAD AUSENTE by Ricardo Piglia, EL FONDO DEL CIELO by Rodrigo Fresán, EL HUÉSPED by Guadalupe Nettel, ROCKABILLY by Mike Wilson, the collection CHIL3, and stories by Cristina Rivera Garza, Edmundo Paz Soldán, David Toscana among others. We will examine the figure of the weird, from cyborgs to ghosts and the representation of counter- and subculture in narrative with an eye to memory, identity and globalism in Latin America. 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. |

During the last decades of the 20th century, Latin America used cultural forms like the testimonio, the urban chronicle and the film documentary to discuss the political atrocities and injustices of the recent past and to come to terms with experiences like dictatorship and genocide. These narratives were tied to the notion that literature and cinema had a role to play in the pursuit of justice and human rights. In the 21st century, however, writers and filmmakers have developed certain skepticism about narrative's power to redeem and to deliver justice and the politics of memory are entering a crisis. This class will discuss works literary nonfiction, fiction and poetry as well as documentary and semidocumentary films, that engage with this problem. Through works that document experiences such as the Chilean military dictatorship, the massacre of Chinese citizens in revolutionary Mexico, the police archive in Guatemala and the Drug Wars in the continent, among other histories, the class will discuss the limits of narrative and the self-awareness of cultural creators when engaging with the political past. Through this lens, the class will approach the work of writers such as Nona Fernández, Rodrigo Rey Rosa, Sara Uribe and Julián Herbert, as well as the cinema of directors like Fernando Solanas, Patricio Guzmán, Albertina Carri and Tatiana Huezo. Prereq: Spanish 308E and two 300-level literature surveys. 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. |

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, to understand the intimate connections between popular culture and power. We will consider popular poetry and narratives; stories of melodrama and populism; films and plays that engaged life under dictatorship and its memory; and the relationship of fútbol to nation, gender, and political power. Prereq: Spanish 308E and two 300-level literature surveys. |

| Description: | This course provides a historical overview of feminist literary and cultural theories since the 1960s and 70s, acquainting students with a diversity of voices within contemporary feminism and gender studies. Readings will include works of French feminism, Foucault's History of Sexuality, feminist responses to Foucault, queer (LGBTQ) theory, postcolonial and decolonial feminism, feminist disability theory, and writings by US feminists of color (African-American, Asian-American, Latina, Native-American). The reading list will be updated each year to reflect new developments in the discipline. We will approach these readings from an intersectional and interdisciplinary perspective, considering their dialogue with broader sociopolitical, cultural, and philosophical currents. By the end of the course, students are expected to have gained a basic knowledge of the major debates in feminist literary and cultural studies in the last 50 years, as well as the ability to draw on the repertoire of readings to identify and frame research questions in their areas of specialization. The class will be largely interactive, requiring active participation and collaborative effort on the part of the students. Students will be encouraged to make relevant connections between the class readings, everyday social and political issues, and their own research interests. NOTE: This course is in the core curriculum for the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies graduate certificate. Prereq: Advanced course work in WGSS or in literary theory (300-level and above) or permission of the instructor required. |

| Description: | Taking the oeuvre of writer, folklorist, and anthropologist José María Arguedas as a case study, this graduate seminar will examine the way 20th-century intellectuals dealt with material transformations in the production and circulation of cultures in the Andean region. Through the analysis of literary texts, ethnographies, journalism, practices of cultural promotion and recordings, we will explore the role of orality, writing and other, more recent technologies (such as the voice recorder, the radio, and music records), as well as that of capitalist markets and cultural commodification, in the configuration of public spheres in the Andes. Similarly, we will analyze the impact of the emergence of said public spheres on the imaginaries and materialities of nation, ethnicity, and the political dimension of culture. Conceptualizing immigration and urbanization as the key historical processes for our case study, the seminar will offer a historical and theoretical framework for understanding the transformations. rural and urban cultures in the Andean region region underwent during the past century, paying close attention to the classical debates these transformation generated in the field of Andean studies. This seminar will have a strong interdisciplinary appproach, combining topics such as cultural production, intellectual and cultural history, media studies, culture history, and public sphere. Readings in English and Spanish; course taught in Spanish. Prereq: Graduate standing. |

| Description: | From the mythical medieval "convivencia" to the nineteenth-century notion that "Africa begins at the Pyrenees," from the "two Spains," to "Spain is Different," from the "Pacto del Olvido" to the "recuperation of historical memory," from "Una, Grande, y Libre" to "Catalonia is not Spain," from "en Espan~a se vive bien" to the predicaments of the "Generacio´n Noqueada," discourses over identity and belonging in contemporary Spain have been fraught with conflicts and contradictions. Recent theoretical approaches to memory, mobility, and space provide productive perspectives that make it possible to examine these conflicts and contradictions. The course provides students with theoretical and methodological tools, stemming from such fields as Memory Studies, Migration Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Spatial Humanities, in relation to some of the key debates within Spanish Cultural Studies. Readings include works by Max Aub, Marc Augé, Américo Castro, Javier Cercas, Tim Creswell, Helen Graham, Sebastiaan Faber, David Harvey, Anne Knowles, Federico Garci´a Lorca, Paul Gilroy, Juan Goytisolo, Susan Martin Ma´rquez, Mercè Rodoreda, Michael Rothberg, and Edward Said. We will also watch films by Luis Buñuel, Paula Ortiz, Basilio Martín Patiño, and Julio Medem. Prereq: Graduate Standing. In Spanish. |
