Course Homepage: http://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2003/fall/lacs/619/001.nsf This interdisciplinary seminar addresses the history and representation of nation formation in post-independence Latin America. The equation of national identity with ethnic fusion has had profound and contradictory effects on diverse arenas of cultural, economic, and political life, giving rise to social conflict and changing representations of identity. Bringing together historical, literary, and ethnographic approaches, we will examine how gendered discourses of mestizaje, or racial mixing, have played a central role in the promotion and contestation of homogenizing nationalist projects since the late nineteenth century. Our readings will include discussions of nationalism, representation, and subaltern studies, and will examine cases taken from a range of countries, including Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Venezuela, and Cuba. The class will utilize a variety of materials, including novels, essays, monographs, films, and visual representations, and will include a presentation by a visiting speaker. Students will be evaluated on the basis of class participation, commentaries, presentations, and a final paper.
