New York University in Buenos Aires Introduction to Latin American Studies Fall 2011 New York University in Buenos Aires Introduction to Latin American Studies Fall 2011 Professor: Martín Sivak Email: [email protected] Classroom and Course Schedule: Wednesday 17.15 to 20.30. Office Hours: Wednesday 4 pm and upon request. Description of the course: This course is designed to introduce students to some of the most important problems and debates about Latin American history, society and culture. Latin America is a complex region full of contrasts. Its population is both racially and culturally heterogeneous. Its many countries share some common cultural roots and political origins, but also have distinct histories. National histories and individual societies did not always follow parallel paths. We will consider the general as well as the specific paths, and study the successes, failures, contrasts and future challenges facing the region. The structure of this course is primarily chronological but also thematic. We will start with the Conquest and its legacies and we will end with the problems that we experience today in big cities in Latin America. We will pay particular attention to the enduring legacies and challenges of some specific historical issues, such as slavery and entrance of Latin America into global capitalism. As the course favors a multi-disciplinary approach, we will use a different array of materials including films, letters, photographs and essays. We will emphasize first hand accounts of the topics we discuss. REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION: You are required to do the assigned reading in advance and come to class prepared to participate actively. The required written work for the course consists of: Homework One short reaction (not more than two paragraphs) to the readings of the week, focusing on the primary sources. It must be sent by e-mail every Tuesday before 7 pm. A final research paper of approximately 7 - 10 pages. A midterm and a final exam. The final grade will be determined based on the following distribution: class participation 25% (which includes the weekly response and class presentations), 1 midterm (25%), final exam (25%), final essay (25%). Attendance Policy • NYU Buenos Aires has a strict policy about course attendance. No unexcused absences are permitted. • Students should contact their class teachers to catch up on missed work but should NOT approach them for excused absences. • Absences due to illness must be discussed with the Assistant Director for Academics Affairs, María Pirovano Peña within one week of your return to class. A doctor note excusing your absence is mandatory. If students get sick on an exam day, they must let the Assistant Director for Academic Affairs know in advance about this, and they must see a doctor the same day in order to have their absence excused. • Absence requests for non-illness purposes must be discussed with the Assistant Director for Academics Affairs, María Pirovano Peña, prior to the date(s) in question. • The first unexcused absence will be penalized by deducting 1.5% from the student’s final course mark. After that each unexcused absence will be penalized by deducting 3% from the student’s final course mark. • Students who have perfect attendance (100%) during the semester and have fulfilled all course requirements, i.e. class participation, meeting all deadlines, etc. will get extra points equivalent to 2 % of the final grade. • Students are responsible for making up any work missed due to absence. • NYU BA also expects students to arrive to class promptly (both at the beginning and after any breaks) and to remain for the duration of the class. Three late arrivals or earlier departures (10 minutes after the starting time or before the ending time) will be considered one absence. • Please note that for classes involving a field trip or other external visit, transportation difficulties are never grounds for an excused absence. It is the student’s responsibility to arrive at an agreed meeting point in a punctual and timely fashion. Exams and Submission of Work • Final Exam dates cannot be changed under any circumstance. • Unexcused absences from exams are not permitted and will result in failure of the exam. • Late work should be submitted in person to the Assistant Director for Academics Affairs during office hours (Mon – Fri, 9.30 am to 5 pm), who will write on the essay or other work the date and time of submission, in the presence of the student. Another member of the administrative staff can accept the work, in person, in the absence of the Assistant Director for 2 Academics Affairs and will write the date and time of submission on the work, as above. • Work submitted within 5 weekdays after the submission time without an agreed extension receives a penalty of 10 points on the 100 point scale. • Written work submitted after 5 weekdays after the submission date without an agreed extension fails and is given a zero. • Please note end of semester essays must be submitted on time. • Final essays must be submitted to the professor in print and electronic copy. If the student is not in Buenos Aires, he / she must send a printed copy via express postal mail (i.e. FeDEX, DHL, UPS, etc) to the NYU Center in Buenos Aires – Anchorena 1314 - (C1425ELF) Argentina. This copy must arrive before or on the date of established deadline. Language Policy: Students who want to major in Spanish and Latin American Literature and Culture have to do their course work in Spanish as well part of the reading for the week in Spanish. The primary sources will be available both in Spanish and English. The rest of the students are also welcome to handle their written works in Spanish. Spanish Tutoring Sessions are mandatory for all students who get a B- or below in any written or oral work. Plagiarism I expect you to follow the rules on academic honesty and intellectual integrity established by NYU University. Presenting someone else’s work as your own is plagiarism. Essays must be entirely your own work. SCHEDULE OF READINGS AND LECTURES Week Topic Readings/ Other Material WEEK 1 Presentation of the course.

A lo largo del siglo, al mismo tiempo que se asume que todos los individuos deben tener las mismas virtudes y oportunidades, el sujeto "universal" se va diferenciando. En textos cada vez mas nacionalistas, se perfila claramente un sujeto hegemonico, el ciudadano (activo): hombre mayor de edad, letrado y/o propietario, en goce de todos los derechos constitucionales de los que carecen las mujeres y otros sujetos subaltemos (indigenas, esclavos, menores, analfabetos, etc.).3 Asimismo, los sujetos se constituyen en tdrninos de una dicotomia gendrica; es decir, se prescriben distintos (y hasta opuestos, aunque supuestamente complementarios) papeles sociales y culturales basados en las diferencias sexuales.

  • El Caso De Carolina Freyre De Jaimes (1844- 1916) En Bolivia Kurmi Soto Velasco
    VOL. 15, NUM.1 WINTER/INVIERNO 2018 Periodismo y círculos literarios femeninos en la Sudamérica decimonónica: El caso de Carolina Freyre de Jaimes (1844- 1916) en Bolivia Kurmi Soto Velasco Carolina Freyre es simplemente una mujer que ha escrito y escribe sin ofender a nadie. “Carolina Freyre.” El Correo del Perú, sábado 28 de diciembre de 1872. En 1996, la peruana Francesca Denegri afirmaba algo novedoso para aquel entonces: la existencia de una dinámica red de escritoras peruanas que sentaron pie dentro de la literatura decimonónica a través de periódicos y revistas.1 En su estudio, titulado El abanico y la cigarerra. La primera generación de mujeres ilustradas en el Perú, ella rastrea el “surgimiento de la voz literaria femenina” y muestra las profundas conexiones que tuvieron mujeres como Juana Manuela Gorriti (1818-1892), Clorinda Matto de Turner (1852-1909)2 y Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (1842-1909). Dentro de este grupo, también destaca la tacneña Carolina Freyre de Jaimes (1844-1916), hija de una conocida familia de imprenteros y periodistas de la costa peruana.3 En efecto, su padre, Andrés Freyre Fernández, fundó y dirigió varios títulos entre los cuales debemos mencionar La Bella Tacneña de 1855, en el que Carolina publicó sus primeros poemas a los catorce años. Desde este momento hasta su muerte, su vida estaría ligada al periodismo, oficio al que se dedicó en Lima, La Paz, Sucre y Buenos Aires, así como en varias otras ciudades sudamericanas. Para comprender mejor a este personaje es, por lo tanto, necesario tener en cuenta el aspecto fragmentario de su producción, dispersa en hojas volantes, y, a la vez, constatar que este mismo hecho permite explorar los lazos que se tejieron entre ella y muchas escritoras de su época.

  • Programa De Barman En Buenos Aires, Argentina
    Semester Program in Buenos Aires, Argentina Course Name: Gender History in Latin America Hours of Instruction per Week: 4 Total weeks: 15 Total Hours of Instruction: 60 Courses transferable to ECTS Courses transferable to U.S. System Recommendation: Advanced written and spoken English Course Description: The course provides a brief introduction to the history of gender in Latin America from the time of Columbus to the 20th century. Focusing on the multiple manners in which womanhood has been constructed and experienced, the course explores the role that categories such as racial origins and social class play in mediating and defining experience. The course seeks to understand the complexity of the process of finding women’s own voices. Labor, family relations, sexuality, religion, education, and the evolution of political and civil rights will be discussed in order to demonstrate that women have actively shaped their own destinies. The course will use case studies, such as Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Manuela Saenz, Clorinda Matto de Turner, Eva Perón, Rigoberta Menchú, and Frida Kahlo and the weekly readings will be completed with primary source material, such as memoirs, accounts, films, photographs, and images. Attendance policy: Each class will consist of two sections. During the first, the instructor will provide a brief historical background of the weekly topics. During the second, students will engage in active participation by discussing and evaluating the weekly readings. In addition, each week a small group of students will prepare a short oral presentation and a brief written summary on one of the recommended readings. The requirements also include a midterm and final exam, as well as class attendance.

Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera, Clorinda Matto de Turner, and Teresa González de Fanning, among other notable female authors, found their literary voices through these gatherings. This thesis analyzes four key ideas emerging on the topic of education from the essays read at these workshops and published in Veladas literarias de Lima (1892) and those written by the same authors after their conclusion. The four central themes analyzed relate to women’s education and its link to nation building, women’s education as connected to religion and morality, the quality of women’s education, and a belief in women’s intelligence.

Tille-Victorica: Flora Tristan's Plural Identities The influence that Flora Tristan’s writing and militancy for women’s and worker’s rights had in France, and especially in Peru in the twentieth century is undeniable. In the early 1940s, Peruvian poet and political activist Magda Portal wrote a biography of Tristan (1803-1844) in which she acknowledges the Franco-Peruvian author as the “precursor of socialist feminism” (Pratt 156). This honor prompted Emilia Romero to publish, in 1946, the first Spanish translation of Tristan’s famous travel book Pérégrinations d’une paria, first published in France in 1837 (Staedler 229).

  • Colaboradores Y Corresponsales Del Semanario Literario El Álbum (1874-1875)1
    César Salas Guerrero COLABORADORES Y CORRESPONSALES DEL SEMANARIO LITERARIO EL ÁLBUM (1874-1875)1 César Salas Guerrero Universidad de San Martín de Porres Dentro de la historia del periodismo literario peruano, El Álbum (1874-1875) ocupa un lugar destacado por ser la primera revista cuya dirección estuvo a cargo exclusivamente de mujeres, por el manifiesto adelanto que constituyó respecto a anteriores semanarios literarios femeninos en número y calidad de contribucio- nes, y por haber estado su proyecto ligado a quienes, aunque forasteras, eran las escritoras más representativas de la ciudad de Lima por aquella época: la argen- tina Juana Manuela Gorriti y la tacneña Carolina Freyre de Jaimes2. Sobre Juana Manuela Gorriti y su larga estancia en nuestras tierras ya nos hemos ocupado en un anterior artículo3, por lo que contaremos brevemente que había nacido en la provincia de Salta el 15 de julio de 18164, que en 1830 tuvo que exi- liarse con su familia en Bolivia, huyendo del dictador Juan Manuel de Rosas, y que en Tarija conoció al militar Manuel Isidoro Belzu, con quien se casó, y quien luego fue presidente del país altiplánico entre 1848 y 1850. Pero antes de que su esposo alcanzara la presidencia, Gorriti ya se había separado de él y se había establecido en nuestra patria, primero en Arequipa y alrededor de 1850 en Lima, ciudad donde publicó sus primeras novelas, “La quena” y “El guante negro”, como folletines del diario El Comercio (1851-1852), y donde no tardó en darse a conocer entre los círculos literarios, especialmente entre el grupo de los bohe- mios que lideraba su entrañable amigo Ricardo Palma5.
