This course proposes an in-depth analysis of works by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). His writing subverts our comforting presuppositions about our place in the universe and its intelligibility. A map the size of the world, an object reflecting all time and place, an encyclopedia that engulfs the universe are only part of the huge landscape Borges' works offer. Reading selections include short stories as well as essays, poems, and critical studies. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture

The main goal of this course is to write a thesis-style project. This objective will be accomplished through the study of some of the more relevant canonical works of the Spanish Golden Age and its colonial experience. Thus, we will focus on central aspects of the imperial Spanish age, not only in the peninsula but also in the Americas. We will explore the relationship between literature and reality, as well as key trends in politics and religion such as the connection between Golden Age culture and the politics of the Counter-Reformation against Protestants and Muslims. Simultaneously, we will call special attention to some of the critical stances of well-known writers such as Cervantes. This course is open only to Hispanic Studies Seniors. 1.00 units, Seminar

As Ernest Renan once suggested, forgetting is essential to the creation of a nation. The cycle of myths generated as nations take form usually omits or distorts inconvenient elements of the past. As national narratives coalesce, the history of a state and its peoples is remembered selectively and with an instrumentalist logic that gives prominence to fragments of history that promote the goals of the new national collectivity. The study of history poses a danger for nationalism since it reveals the violence, the accidental inventions, and the self-serving amnesia often at the core of the national enterprise. This course will examine nationalism in settings around the world from the time of the French Revolution to the present. The course will draw extensively on the expertise of colleagues within the Trinity College Department of History to examine the national myth in a variety of settings throughout the world 1.00 units, Lecture

We explore European political culture since 1945 in a global context. This is an introductory survey of the period, from the close of World War II until the present. Themes include: reconstruction and memory, Marxism, social-democracy and the New Right; human rights, sexuality and immigration. We look at the events of 1968 and 1989 in a global framework. The Cold War, the New Left, the collapse of the Berlin Wall and of the Soviet Union, national liberation and imperialism, the welfare state, and globalization all offer instances of cultural expression and political conflict. The course emphasizes the role of the arts in politics, and includes lectures, discussion, and a film program. 1.00 units, Lecture

This course will examine the upheavals of Europe's tumultuous 20th century. From the hopes of progress built on the advances of the 19th century came the destruction and despair of a century of revolution, war, genocide, oppression, and subsequent rebirth. This course will study the contours of Europe in 1914, the causes and consequences of the World War I, the weaknesses of liberal democracy in the interwar years, the allure of alternative political systems like Communism and Facism, the outbreak of World War II and the Holocaust, attempts to rebuild Europe after the war and the creation of the social welfare state in Western Europe since 1945, and the course of events in Communist Eastern Europe culminating in the collapse of the Soviet Union. 1.00 units, Lecture
