Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

In this course, we examine the various expressions of Argentine culture that have given us gauchos, tango, Jorge Luis Borges, and one of the most prolific and honored cinematic traditions of Latin America. In particular, we explore the ways in which history and culture interact to express the experience of Argentina and Buenos Aires. We study films, popular music, dance, literature, sport, and theater to gain insight into that experience. This course is part of the Buenos Aires FOCUS program; it includes a trip to Buenos Aires over spring break and is intended to be taken after Focus 2601 (Argentina: Past and Present).
