In this course we will study the different metaphors, ideas and social attitudes about love that have appeared in the Iberian Peninsula from the eight to the twenty first century 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 the 36 years of Franco's
dictatorship. We will learn about matchmakers, courtly love, romantic love, love sickness and its
cures, heterosexual and same sex relationships and the way these all have been viewed and
treated in poetic, social and legal terms during the past thirteen hundred years, since 711 A. C. (the year the Muslims arrived in Spain), to the present time. |

This course explores such a history focusing on Peru and Bolivia. We will delve into archival material, pedagogical theories, State and US-sponsored rural school projects, folklore, film, and the culture produced in rural schools by teachers and students (poems, plays, drawings, woodcuts, etc.) to underscore the multiple dimensions of schooling and the interplay between modernity and rurality. In doing that, we will also study the global circulation of knowledge (from pedagogy to development theory), the sentimental and practical education of men and women (home economics, hygiene, medicine, manual labor, and so on), the disciplinary regimes over bodies and minds, and the history of modern indigenismo, state-formation, and peasant resistance. This course will pay special attention to how rural schooling transformed indigeneity and Andean racialization schemes. Students will select a topic and become active interdisciplinary researchers over the semester. PreReq: At least the completion of one Researching Cultures course.
