The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the particular forms modernity assumes in Latin-American countries and to the ways in which national cultures, identity politics, and gender issues interweave during the 20th century. The course discusses three particular articulation of this topic: (1) Gender and the national question in Argentina: Eva Peron; (2) Gender and visual arts: Frida Kahlo; and (3) Gender and ethnicity: Rigoberta Menchu. Through these iconic figures students are introduced to the specific features that characterized three very different but representative cultural scenarios in Latin America.

IAS 4581: Bubblegum, Baseball and Boom: Latin American Cities Go Pop
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The goal of this course is two-fold. First, it aims at greater familiarization with urban Latin America vis-Ã -vis popular culture ("bubblegum"), sports ("baseball"), and post-dictatorship/violence literature ("boom"). Second, the course offers a range of theoretical texts in social sciences, cultural studies, and literary criticism focused on Latin America empirically but of a larger, more general value. In addition, this is a writing-intensive course, the mechanics of which help structure the nuts-and-bolts of the course. Students are evaluated on how they are able to articulate the ideas and descriptions embedded in the reading material to their own interpretations and their own mini-projects. This is an advanced undergraduate/graduate course, in which students must come prepared to engage in an intense schedule of reading, writing, and discussion.

IAS 464: Nation and Desire in Latin America
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The purpose of this course is to analyze the process of nation formation in Latin America from the imaginaries of the "Creole nation" to the first half of the 20th century. Class discussion encompasses the study of theories on nation formation and nationalism as well as textual representations of national projects, such as Simon Bolivar's letters and discourses, selections from Facundo, Civilization, and Barbarism by Domingo F. Sarmiento; selected texts by Andres Bello, Alfonso Reyes, et al; Ariel, by J.E. Rodo; Pedro Henriquez Urena's Seis ensayos en busca de nuestra expresion; Jose Vasconcelos' La raza cosmica; José Carlos Mariategui's Siete ensayos de interpretacion de la realidad peruana; and José Marti's "Nuestra America" and other essays. Some of the main topics discussed are the leading role of Creole elites in the consolidation of national cultures, the marginalization of women as well as indigenous and Afro-Hispanic populations, and the role of nationalism in the shaping of modern societies. Colonialism, Occidentalism, liberalism, positivism, nationalism, and modernity are some of the concepts that are explored both theoretically and in their particular discursive usages. Finally, the concept of nation(alism) is studied as a political/rhetorical device and as the resulting expression of agency, interest, and desire, in peripheral societies.
