Narratives that chronicle contact with different cultures, travel to new locales, or experiences in foreign lands constitute one of the oldest as well as richest genres in Western literature. In these texts, writers routinely blur and blend the lines between fiction and nonfiction, autobiography and anthropology, objective recording and subjective interpretation. In this study/travel course, we'll explore and explode the concepts of writing travel and travel writing by combining a classroom examination of the genre with a journey to a locale that has been the subject of numerous past and present travel narratives: Brazil and Argentina. Prior to departure, we will investigate the historical origins, literary characteristics, and cultural implications of travel narratives as a distinct and unique form of creative nonfiction. Then, after our arrival in Rio de Janeiro, we will shift our focus from that of an outside investigator to an inside participant. As we partake in activities in Rio such as a traditional tango show and a cruise on Guanabara Bay as well as visit various locales in Argentina, including the beautiful city of Buenos Aires and the majestic Igua?u Falls, students will keep a travel journal and thereby transform their daily experiences into new written subjects for literary study.

We will climb mountains, descend into caves, wander through labyrinths, and sample Cretan cuisine and hospitality.
