This course examines the intersection of gender, power, and identity in various states in Mesoamerica. It explores states of different time periods and political movements (e.g., pre-Columbian, colonial, national and transnational state systems), bisecting traditional divides in prehistory and history. Rather than approach gender from an evolutionary perspective, readings and discussions focus on comparative analyses that both challenge monolithic perspectives of social power and underscore historical contingency in the constitution of gender.

This seminar introduces students to the main issues in state and public administration reform carried out in Latin America over the last 15 years. The three main points to be discussed are Classical Weberianism, New Public Management, and Neo-Weberianism. The seminar will present a critical review of each, both in theory and implementation. In addition, the seminar has the practical goal of providing students with the capacity not only to understand, but also to reproduce and further elaborate arguments for and against each of the main reform models, generally and in specific cases of application.

This seminar closely examines the displacement of the architecture of the Modern Movement from Europe and the United States to Latin America. Using comparative case studies of Venezuela and Brazil, the course will analyze the common influences of MoMA's cultural strategies and the impact of mass media on the dissemination of Modern Architecture to the "South" in the context of WWII. By putting these two relevant experiences in parallel, the architectural journey intends also to make a comprehensive review of Latin American contributions to Modern Architecture through some of the most significant projects developed in both regions.
