U43 IS 3842Latin American Art & Architecture, 1910 - 20103.0 Units
Description:This course surveys major movements in art and architecture in Latin America, from the early twentieth-century avant-gardes to the most recent developments in contemporary art. With the understanding that the term "Latin America" is a geopolitical construct that has been applied to a region of tremendous ethnic, historical, economic, and linguistic diversity, this class will focus on a selection of significant artistic movements and historical figures in and of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela, as well as major architectural projects in Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela. Artistic and architectural discourses have often played an important role in processes of modern state formation in the region, and we will be especially attentive to cases in which artists and architects worked (at least initially) in the service of governmental regimes-as in Mexican muralism in the 1920s and the construction of Brasília, a new national capital for Brazil, in the 1950s-as well as those cases in which artworks and artistic networks offered a means of challenging or subverting official repression in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, and Mexico. Beyond politics, we will focus on the tensions-indigenous vs. cosmopolitan, urban vs. rural, rich vs. poor-and transnational dialogues that have informed the production and reception of art and architecture in Latin America. No Prereqs. Intro to Western Art (L01 112/113), Intro to Modern Art (L01 211/211E/215), or Survey of Latin American Culture (L45 165C) suggested. Does not count towards the major in Art History & Archaeology.

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.
