The Atlantic was the first link between Europe, Africa and Latin America. Goods, slaves, travelers and ideas passed back and forth, shaping the understanding of nature and societies on both sides of the ocean. In this seminar we will focus on the life and literature of three cities of the Atlantic -Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo- at the time of their modernization, in some of their relations with European cities and cultures. From Sarmiento, Cambacérès and Machado de Assis to Oliverio Girondo, Borges and Onetti: living styles, urban landscapes and technologies, material and textual forms of the cultures of the East side of the continent between 1870 and 1930. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Undergraduate College College Hispanic Studies Department Return to Previous New Search

Studies foundational European and indigenous accounts of the 'discovery,' conquest, and colonization of the Americas. We address the problematic relationship between truth and falsehood in these testimonies of early transatlantic history, as well as their place in the emergence of modern colonial and anti-colonial ideologies. We pay particular attention to the mindsets that governed the development of European ethnography in the New World (how do indigenous peoples 'speak' in these texts?), and we also consider the manner in which these stories continue to inhabit contemporary mass culture - from travel advertising and adventure game shows, to the film industry. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Undergraduate College College Hispanic Studies Department Prerequisites: Undergraduate level HISP 0730 Minimum Grade of S or Undergraduate level HISP 0740 Minimum Grade of S Return to Previous New Search

Jorge Luis Borges devoted several essays during his youth to developing his philosophical understanding of concepts like "personality," "memory," "reality," "narrative" and "style." At some point later in his literary career, he attempted to erase the memory of those years from his public existence, to the extent that most of the books published during the 1920s were never reprinted during Borges' lifetime. Nevertheless, it was in those years that he developed the entire philosophical grounding of his future literary work. We will work to decipher Borges' philosophy through the reading and interpretation of his essays, narratives and poems, including several key texts from his first three suppressed prose volumes (Inquisiciones, El tamaño de mi esperanza, and El idioma de los argentinos). In English, with some Spanish readings. 1.000 Credit Hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Primary Meeting Undergraduate College College Hispanic Studies Department Return to Previous New Search
