HISTORY (F18) | 160 SEX&CONQUEST LAT AM | O'TOOLE, R. |
Emphasis/Category: Hispanic, US Latino/a and Luso-Brazilian Cultures, Inter-Area Studies How did the Spanish imagine Aztecs and Incas?

HISTORY (F18) | 112D RISE OF SCIENCE | RAPHAEL, R. |

We will also consider ways of studying the natural world not considered “science” to us but practiced in the period, including magic, alchemy, and astrology. | ||

HISTORY (F18) | 182 CULTR,MONY&GLOBLZTN | LE VINE, M. |
Emphasis/Category: Inter-Area Studies This course examines the fundamental dynamics of cultural production and consumption under conditions of globalization. Rather than focus on jargony post-modern scholarly analyses of culture (although we'll read some of that too), we will attempt whenever possible to examine the sources ourselves--particularly music, film, literature and architecture--and develop our own hypotheses about how crucial issues, such as identity (race, gender, ethnicity, religion) power, politics and economics are inflected by and impact the production and consumption of culture during the last two decades. | ||
SPANISH (F18) | 186 5 LAT AM POETS | SEFAMI, J. |
Emphasis/Category: Hispanic, US Latino/a and Luso-Brazilian Cultures, Inter-Area Studies This course will concentrate on five major Latin American poets of the 20th century: Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina, 1899-1986), Vicente Huidobro (Chile, 1893-1948) César Vellajo (Peru, 1892-1938), Pablo Neruda (Chile, 1904-1973), and Octavio Paz (México, 1914-1998). These poets have had a remarkable impact on younger generations. Their work has become foundational in their respective countries and internationally (Neruda and Paz were awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature). Emphasis will be given to textual analysis of the poems and a review of the poetics of each o the authors. All readings for this course will be available in the class' website. |
