COLL (CASE) Culture Studies: Global Civ & Culture
This course will survey the history of Latin America over the last 200 years, the era of national independence. We will pay attention to politics and economy, but our emphasis will be on social and cultural history, on the forces that shape everyday life, and the way people make sense of their lives. One way we can get at these issues will be to investigate how social movements and revolutions have reacted to, reflected, and in many cases driven changes in race, class, gender, sex, and the family. We will get at these issues through close readings of primary documents: memoirs, speeches, and journalistic accounts by individuals as reports of their lives and the events around them. Along with these readings, we will watch an abundance of film. The general thematic approach will draw specific examples from various Latin American countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Cuba.

COLL (CASE) S&H Breadth of Inquiry credit
COLL (CASE) Culture Studies: Global Civ & Culture
Late 19th-century Puerto Rican poet Lola Rodríguez de Tió once wrote that “Cuba and Puerto Rico are the two wings of the same bird.” Both islands share a similar culture and have comparable historical developments, yet, today, they live very different realities: Cuba is the only socialist republic in the hemisphere while Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States. What explains these differences if their histories are apparently so similar? The course will explore these issues through the study of key historical processes from first inhabitation through the present, giving particular attention to the 19th to the 21st centuries. Topics to be addressed include: the social and economic repercussions of slavery; the impact of the United States’ intervention on the islands; the effects of industrialization, colonialism and neoliberalism on Puerto Rican economy, culture, and politics; the Cuban Revolution and the transformation of Cuban society and economy; Cubans and Puerto Ricans in the United States and the effects of natural disasters on these islands. All of these topics will be examined from the perspective of both internal and external forces and the experiences of the common people who lived and made their histories.

COLL (CASE) Culture Studies: Global Civ & Culture
This course considers the relationship between human rights and freedom.

In this course we treat human rights and freedom as ongoing arguments, productive processes, and arenas of contestation, as means of constructing aspirations, seeking and challenging power, developing ways of life, and finding fulfillment.

The course materials bridge the fields of medical anthropology, culture studies, human security, gender studies and human rights to ask the critical question: what is at stake for human agents across the globe as they live their daily lives within female/male/non-binary bodies? Studies of the impact of neoliberal policies , globalization, migration, and poverty and health can benefit from a focus on the bodily experiences and lived consequences of structural violence. The developing field of intersectional feminist studies allows for the emergence of new theories, questions, challenges and critiques. Following the Frankfurt school of critical theory, dominant paradigms and hegemonies will be deconstructed and challenged in the interest of conducting research that engages in the transformation of power dynamics in human gendered experience and violence.

From New Orleans, Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street to the bayous and towns of Cajun Louisiana, from steamboats plying the Mississippi River, to gumbo, jamabalaya, and étouffée, and from Zydeco musicians like Clifton Chenier and Cajun bands like Michael Doucet and Beausoleil, to the mellifluous sounds of Cajun French and Louisiana Creole: the roughly triangular region of southern Louisiana known as Acadiana has brought an amazingly rich and vibrant cultural tapestry to the American south. Drawing on colonial French, Caribbean, African and Native American sources, Cajun and Creole culture infuses every aspect of life in the French Triangle including music, food, religion, medicine, and leisure, with several elements even spreading into the larger American society. In this course we will examine the historical roots of this cultural gumbo and its forms of expression up to the present day.

COLL (CASE) Culture Studies: Global Civ & Culture
In the last 40 years the world has witnessed a series of democratically-oriented revolutions, some more successful than others, that occurred in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, Latin America, Africa, East and Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. What accounts for this phenomenon, and what common ideas and practices link them? What does democracy mean for the participants? Why revolutions, and not gradual reforms? Why do certain revolutions seem to achieve more than others? And why liberal democracy seems to have lost its inspirational power and been suffering many open challenges in the last few years? In this course, we examine closely a range of revolutionary moments from Poland in 1980 through South Africa in 1994. Using the 1989 revolutions in Eastern Europe as the springboard, we then consider the more recent instances like the Arab Spring in the early 2010s and beyond. Topics covered include concepts and practices of democracy and revolution, the origins and characteristics of the communist and anti-communist dictatorships, methods of organization and mobilization, state repression and negotiation, revolutionary outcomes, and the recent setbacks in democratic transitions and challenges to the liberal democratic model itself. In a way, this course is about our recent history of democracy.

COLL (CASE) Global Civ & Culture credit
Netflix is radically changing the production and reception of TV and film across the world. In the process, Netflix shows are constantly negotiating between cultural specificity and cultural intelligibility across audiences and, as a result, significantly changing the way societies and cultures are being portrayed and perceived globally. How is this ongoing phenomenon affecting 21st century Spanish America, where Netflix has expanded dramatically? After a short historical overview of how Spanish American culture was projected internationally in the 20th century, this course will focus on several Netflix shows produced in Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina as a way to study different aspects of contemporary Spanish American cultures and societies. The course will combine critical analysis with project-based research on specific contemporary social and cultural elements (such as sports, youth, religion, class, race, gender, etc.) as we explore the complex relationship between "reality" and "fiction", that is, between actual social and cultural manifestations and their representation on TV and in film aimed at a global audience. The class will be conducted entirely in Spanish.

POLS-Y 360 AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY (3CR) taught by Dina Spechler
COLL (CASE) S&H Breadth of Inquiry credit
Contrary to once widely held expectations, the end of the Cold War did not eliminate the threat to national and planetary survival posed by nuclear weapons. Both the US and Russia retained huge arsenals, which both sides are now working hard to modernize. Russia has begun to deploy some of these in forward positions and has recently threatened to use them against American allies or the US itself. A growing number of other states, some of them hostile to the US, are acquiring significant arsenals of their own. Meanwhile, the process of nuclear proliferation has accelerated and increased the danger of nuclear war arising from regional rivalries, miscalculation, accident or detonation by terrorists. Arguably, the risk of nuclear war is higher today than it has been for more than half a century. At the same time, the United States, like the other nuclear superpower, is facing serious environmental damage and substantial risks resulting from the production and storage of nuclear warheads and fuel over many decadesThis course will examine the key decisions over the last 70 years by policy makers in the US that contributed to the creation of this dangerous situation, how the U.S. has employed diplomacy to avoid nuclear war and reduce its likelihood, the contemporary consequences of its past decisions, and the prospects for the future. We will consider the options open to American decision makers at the time, the wisdom of and rationale for their choices, and what they should do now.

COLL (CASE) S&H Breadth of Inquiry credit
COLL INTENSIVE WRITING SECTIONS
Amid the contemporary global health crisis, politicians, pundits, and the public in the United States have grappled with and reevaluated the meaning of essential workers. Throughout the twentieth century, migrant agricultural labor is one of the few occupations that has been consistently mobilized because of its indispensability to the national economy. For all the economic and occupational transformations that have occurred in the U.S. over the past century, at least one thing remains clear: migrant workers are an enduring fixture sustaining the country’s agricultural and food supply-chains. Some of the courses important questions include, how have temporary guest worker programs resulted in more permanent Latina/o/x communities? How have U.S. consumption practices shaped the labor and living conditions of Latinx food workers? What is the meaning of justice for migrant workers who are simultaneously considered essential and disposable? Through reading, writing, and discussion, we will explore these guiding themes and questions. During the semester, students will largely be focusing on sets of shorter writing assignments that will eventually result in a longer final essay.

REL-C 300 ISSUES IN RELIGION IN AMERICAS: REL OF WHITENESS (3CR) taught by J Carter
COLL (CASE) A&H Breadth of Inquiry credit
This course thinks about the Americas (with particular attention to the Caribbean and the United States) as a simultaneous racial, religious, and political formation. Specifically, we attend to Whiteness, which is related to but is not the same as white skin, as the crux of American society and thus as religion. As examined in this course, religion is about how societies organize themselves. Thus, we will consider America as religion wherein American religion = the Religion of Whiteness, a religion whose sacred ideals of democracy, citizenship, equality before the law, and especially freedom have required bondage, exclusion, and land theft. Also, we will draw on artists, writers, and poets to get at alternative understandings of America, religion, and democracy beyond the settler colonial and racial imagination's grip.

The focus on "Black" immigration serves to foreground how the lived experiences of those populations are distinctively structured by social phenomena denoted by the concepts of "race," "ethnicity," and "nationality." The quotation marks indicate that these understandings are slippery, contested concepts, and we will examine the status of each more closely. We will also explore the homogenization of African Americans, Africans, and Afro–Caribbeans as indistinctly “black” in the U.S. and the implications of these understandings in this country and abroad.

From tropical rainforests, to urban playgrounds, parks and protected areas have long been used to promote environmental conservation and the protection of endangered species. Yet, parks are also often sites of historical, political, and cultural conflict. This course draws from examples from around the world to examine the social and cultural dimensions of protected areas. Topics we cover include cultural ideas of nature and wilderness, the “park versus people” debate, community-based conservation, ecotourism, and new, emerging models for conservation and development. By the end of the course, we will recognize how protected areas represent collections not only of plants and animals, but also of meanings and social relationships.

HIST-W 300 ISSUES IN WORLD HISTORY TOPIC: GLOBAL SLAVERIES (3CR) taught by Pedro Machado
COLL (CASE) S&H Breadth of Inquiry credit
This course examines the development of forms of slavery and 'unfreedom' in the human experience from a range of temporal and spatial perspectives. Understandings of slavery have, with relatively few exceptions, focused on the history of the Atlantic slave world and as a result have been dominated by the 'plantation complex' model of slavery. Besides looking in detail at the development of plantation slavery in the Atlantic world, this course will explore the very different forms of slavery and 'unfreedoms' that existed in social, cultural, political and economic systems in the Indian Ocean and Pacific worlds, and that predated the Common Era. The course thus aims ultimately to problematize and challenge the view of slavery as constituted exclusively by the dichotomous categories of chattel/free.

This class takes as its starting point the idea that the most unprecedented long-term historical changes since 1900 revolve around women as objects of policies or processes, and women as historical actors. From the population explosion to the entry of women in the electorate, from access to education to the rise of feminist movements, there are many themes to explore in many locations. We will identify individuals, movements, and processes that can be considered part of this global shift and test their impact on politics, the economy, and culture.
HIST-W 350 BASEBALL AS HISTORY (3 CR) taught by Ke-chin HSIA
COLL (CASE) S&H Breadth of Inq
This course will be conduct as a mix of lectures, discussions, and activities. We will use popular and scholarly texts, IU archives, films, digital tools to think about baseball historically and “do” history with baseball. Assignments and assessments include short papers, exams, presentations, and research projects. Both baseball fans and non-fans are welcomed--this is a world history course, not a trivia fest or fan conference. You just need to know the rules of the game and are interested in baseball history. However, we will NOT debate who is the best hitter or pitcher in history (Which/whose history? What does “best” mean and why? Who gets to decide, by what criteria? These are far more interesting questions to debate). Major League Baseball is only part of a much broader intellectual adventure of this course. Students can invest most of their writing exercises in CLACS-related topics.

Why are some countries rich while other countries remain poor? Why are some societies characterized by relative equality of wealth among its members (i.e. Sweden, China before 1978), while others are vastly unequal (i.e. Brazil)? How do current challenges such as globalization, democratic backsliding, and civil conflict affect global, national, and local efforts at facilitating development? Students will learn about the post-WWII global architecture surrounding international development projects, study both institutional and behavioral factors that influence development outcomes, and use theory and empirical observation to generate insight into the enduring challenges of development as well as the most promising pathways toward development at local, national, and global levels.
INTL-I 304 WOMEN, GENDER, AND HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENTS (3 CR) taught by Kate Hunt
How do social movements fighting for human rights for women and LGBTQI individuals accomplish their goals? This course considers the way groups organizing around gender issues strategize and utilize the various tools available to them in their attempts to effect political and social change. In particular, the ways in which these attempts intersect with the media - both traditional media and new media - is given attention. These topics will be examined on a global scale as we consider the specific challenges faced by movements given differences in political, social, and cultural circumstances.

Meets with INTL-I 502 and CULS-C 701
Focuses on the global struggle for potable water and healthy rivers. From megacities to villages, we explore the changing and contested meanings of indigeneity and water landscapes, the passionate organizing efforts of neighborhood environmental activists, the political unconscious of pollution, and the geopolitics of water and wind engineering and international development in wet, dry and windy environments. Our cases draw from three books by anthropologists doing ethnographic fieldwork in the Americas (Mexico and U.S. borderlands, Argentina and Brazil). All three ethnographies grapple with water and wind as elemental forces, habitats, and 21st century planetary symbolism.

What can we learn about our society by investigating its dark linguistic underbelly? How is it possible that certain strings of sounds, uttered in just the right social context, have the power to offend, hurt feelings, ruin careers and even spark wars? This course provides a broad introduction to the field of linguistic anthropology, its key concepts, and its methods through an exploration of bad language. In it we investigate a range of speech types curses, oaths, insults, gossip, argument, taboo words, obscenities, blasphemy, slang and the essential roles they play in our lives. At the same time, we develop a cross-cultural perspective by comparing our own notions of what counts as bad language with ways of speaking that others cultural groups consider rude, vulgar, and even dangerous.

This course examines the various intersections of religion, race, and ethnicity in the Americas.

Our starting point in the course is the idea that religion, race, and ethnicity are not given or stable categories, but concepts that change over time, vary across contexts, and are often constructed in relation to one another. We will explore these ideas across the Americas and by looking at four major topics: religion and immigration in the United States, particularly in immigration to the US in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; African American and African Diaspora religions, ranging from Christianity in the US to African-derived candomblé in Brazil; and religion and ethnonationalism, including examples from Canada, Brazil, and Mexico.

ANTH-E 346 GLOBAL ANARCHY (3CR) taught by Shane Greene
COLL (CASE) S&H Breadth of Inq
How do we account for the global resurgence of anarchist thought, practice, and politics in the early 21st century? Is it related to the failed promises of 20th century communism? The lackluster results of liberal multiculturalism? The return of right wing fascism? A looming planetary crisis of all encompassing proportions? A total ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE? How do race, sex, culture, and gender figure into it? Contrary the popular imagination, anarchism is not simply social chaos, but rather a desire to be free of imposed forms of authority. Exploring everything from Antifa in the streets of Trump’s America and anarcho-feminist essays to DIY punk scenes and apocalyptic zombie scenarios, this course seeks to advance a basic understanding of anarchist ideals, practices, fears and imaginaries.

COLL (CASE) Global Civ & Cultr
The focus on "Black" immigration serves to foreground how the lived experiences of those populations are distinctively structured by social phenomena denoted by the concepts of "race," "ethnicity," and "nationality." The quotation marks indicate that these understandings are slippery, contested concepts, and we will examine the status of each more closely. We will also explore the homogenization of African Americans, Africans, and Afro–Caribbeans as indistinctly “black” in the U.S. and the implications of these understandings in this country and abroad.

ANTH-B 400 MORTUARY PRACTICES (3CR) taught by Della Cook
All human societies have customs and beliefs about how the dead should be treated. The variety and complexity of these practices is astonishing. The dead may be so dangerous to the living that anything in contact with a dying person must be destroyed or a dead relatives property may be a precious keepsake. Babies may be given the names of ancestors or the name of a dead relative may never be spoken again. Bodies may be abandoned in the wild, kept in the home until they decompose, cremated, submerged, embalmed, dissected, mummified, or buried. Obligations toward the dead may continue over many years. Survivors may be expected to mourn not at all, for a period of time or for the remainder of their lives. These customs may be conserved for long periods, or they may change rapidly. This course explores scholarship on mortuary practices from many disciplines. We focus on the relationship of mortuary practices to beliefs about the dead. What constitutes evidence for mortuary practices and beliefs about the dead among early humans? In the archaeological record? In the modern world? How and why do these practices change? How do they reflect ethnicity, social status, and values?

ANTH E-321 PEOPLES OF MEXICO (3 CR) taught by Anya Peterson Royce
Before the Spanish came to the New World, Mexico had three of the world’s greatest civilizations--the Maya, the Aztec, and the Zapotec, a population of about 25 million living in cities and rural areas, with trade networks that connected the entire country, arts, astronomy and mathematics, a complex calendrical system, religions and a priesthood, sophisticated laws, courts and judges; Mexico’s indigenous population today is 11% of the total and represents some 60 different groups. Behind these facts lie the stories of Mexico’s people – who they are, what they do, what their dreams are. We will learn about the lives of Mexicans living in the second largest city in the world, follow the story of the Zapatistas as they seek justice and land, and look at other movements of resistance and strategies for political reform.
ANTH E-366 SUSTAINABLE TRADE IN CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE (3 CR) taught by Sarah Osterhoudt
As we walk through the aisles of a grocery store, we are faced with a variety of symbols and signs: from stickers on organic bananas, to Fair Trade coffee labels, to drawings on milk containers of happy cows resting peacefully in green meadows. Collectively, these stories convey that consumers are deciding to participate in more sustainable and healthy systems of trade. But what are the complex social, environmental, and economic relationships contained behind these labels? In this course, we will consider the connections between 'sustainable' trade and culture. We ask: What is the right way to farm, to trade, and to eat? Who decides, and why? How have ideas of moral systems of exchange changed over time? What do we mean by sustainability and how can we create more sustainable systems of trade?

CASE Critical Approaches requirement
IUB GenEd SandH credit
Cacao (Theobroma cacao), whose name means "food of the gods," enjoyed a long history in the great civilizations of Mesoamerica, immortalized in art and iconography and traded as a luxury good, long before it became the New World's gift to the Old. Europeans quickly became as captivated by it as were the Maya and the Aztec: introducing the custom of chocolate parties; drinking chocolate in place of daily tea; and consuming it in the form of bars, pastilles, as ices, and as an ingredient in main dishes and desserts. It moved from a luxury item consumed by the aristocracy to an inexpensive treat for the masses in the solid forms created by Van Houten, Lindt, Cadbury, and Hershey.

COLL C-104 RISE AND FALL OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS (3 CR) taught by Stacie King
CRITICAL APPROACHES TO SOC AND HIST STUD
CASE Critical Approaches requirement
IUB GenEd SandH credit
About 10,000 years ago, human societies in specific areas across the globe and on separate continents began to undergo a series of major transformations. In each case, small groups of hunter/gatherers settled into the world's first farming villages. From these villages emerged bigger towns, and eventually large and complex urban civilizations. How and why did these changes take place in different parts of the globe at roughly the same time? What can the similarities and differences in each case tell us about the processes of culture change? What do cycles of rise, expansion, and collapse say about the inevitability or likelihood of such changes occurring in all human societies? We will address these questions through an introductory survey of ancient civilizations in five regions: the Near East, Egypt, and South Asia in the Old World, and Mesoamerica and South America in the New World. We will focus primarily on the Sumerian, Egyptian, Indus, Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations.

Spanish, with a focus on the structure of words (morphology) and the rule-based combination of words to form sentences (syntax). After studying the fundamental concepts of morphology with regard to the properties of lexical categories (e.g. noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition), we analyze the ways in which words combine to form syntactic categories at the phrase level (noun phrase, verb phrase, adjectival phrase, adverbial phrase, prepositional phrase), and then at the sentence level. We analyze the syntactic and semantic properties of both simple and complex sentences. Some of the topics discussed in the course include: argument structure, word order, negation, tense and aspect, and information structure.

COLL (CASE) AandH Breadth of Inquiry credit
Over the past two hundred years, Spanish American countries have experienced prolonged and repeated struggles against twin maladies: imperialism from abroad and tyranny from within. Resistance against these abuses of power has given birth to more than one idea of democracy. Is democracy a goal to be realized or a process that has no preordained goal or conclusion? Political representation or participation and direct action? Consensus or the right to rebellion? In this course we will look at some of these struggles as seen through poems, short stories, novels, plays, and films.

We will use three points of focus to produce several angles of the music + disaster equation. First, music will be positioned as an innate response to trauma as a way to enhance survival, hope and healing. Next, we will consider music-related humanitarian efforts and current inclinations to capitalize on catastrophe, as evidenced by the phenomenon of benefit concerts, musical telethons and “disaster tracks.” In addition, we will examine how music has been employed as a tool for “re-memorying” lost locations and (re)defining cultural spaces, just as it has been used to encourage the return of tourists to impacted locales and boost devastated economies.

This course explores the transformational changes that Cuban society has experienced over the last sixty years, from the Cuban Revolution to the economic crisis of the 1990s, to Raúlismo and beyond. It does this through the analysis of literature, film, and visual arts from and about Cuba, produced inside and outside of the island. In the second part of the class we will look at the impact that these changes have had outside of Cuba, for the growing Cuban diaspora community and other Latin American nations, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and in Africa. Cuba’s extraordinary and late opening, from the 1990s on, to western capitalist markets, serves as a backdrop in this class for considering the relation between political and literary/artistic revolutions, memory and censorship, nationalism and cosmopolitanism.

COLL (CASE) A&H Breadth of Inq
This course will teach you new things about a familiar religion. Many people believe they have at least a basic knowledge of Christianity. But Christianity is bewilderingly diverse. We may be able to agree on a simple definition: Christianity is the religion of people who believe in the gospel that Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. But what does it mean to "believe in"? What is the gospel? How is salvation achieved? Does God care primarily about "saving souls" or also about healing bodies from disease? What is the kingdom of heaven? What should believers do in this world? We will trace the fascinating, often controversial, history of Christianity from Jesus and his followers, healings and exorcisms in the first century up through the global expansion of Christianity in the modern world. More broadly, we will gain an understanding of the diversity of world cultures, both within the U.S. and around the globe, and we will gain skills in interacting with human diversity in culturally informed and sensitive ways.
REL-C 325 RACE, RELIGION, AND ETHNICITY IN THE AMERICAS (3 CR) taught by Stephen Selka COLL (CASE) S&H Breadth of Inq
COLL (CASE) Diversity in U.S.
This course examines the various intersections of religion, race, and ethnicity in the Americas. It introduces students to approaches and concepts from religious studies and from the interdisciplinary study of race and ethnicity. Our starting point in the course is the idea that religion, race, and ethnicity are not given or stable categories, but concepts that change over time, vary across contexts, and are often constructed in relation to one another. We will explore these ideas across the Americas and by looking at four major topics: religion and immigration in the United States, particularly in immigration to the US in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; African American and African Diaspora religions, ranging from Christianity in the US to African-derived candomblé in Brazil; and religion and ethnonationalism, including examples from Canada, Brazil, and Mexico.

The purpose of this course is to investigate the challenges of implementing sustainability in a variety of contexts and under often divergent perspectives. This course is designed to give students the tools to be able to identify and explain how sustainability creates new opportunities for, and constraints on, enterprise value creation.

The purpose of this course is to investigate the challenges of implementing sustainability in a variety of contexts and under often divergent perspectives. This course is designed to give students the tools to be able to identify and explain how sustainability creates new opportunities for, and constraints on, enterprise value creation. Students will first focus on short term strategies (low-hanging fruit) that will then create momentum for more long term organizational change for sustainability (game changers).

ANTH-E444/644 PEOPLE AND PROTECTED AREAS (3 CR) taught by Sarah Osterhoudt
VT: CONSERVATION IN THEORY AND PRACITICE
From tropical rainforests, to urban playgrounds, parks and protected areas have long been used to promote environmental conservation and the protection of endangered species. Yet, parks are also often sites of historical, political and cultural conflict. This course draws from examples from around the world to examine the social and cultural dimensions of protected areas. Topics we cover include cultural ideas of nature and wilderness, the “park versus people” debate, community-based conservation, ecotourism, and new, emerging models for conservation and development. By the end of the course, we will recognize how protected areas represent collections not only of plants and animals, but also of meanings and social relationships.

HISP-P 475 THEATRE IN PORTUGUESE (3 CR) taught by Estela Vieira
VT: NATION & IDENTITY IN LUSOPHONE DRAMA
This course is an overview of theater in Portuguese. We will read, analyze, and contextualize plays from Portugal, Brazil, and Lusophone-Africa. Our goal will be to consider how both classical drama (by famous playwrights like Gil Vicente) as well as less studied genres (dramas written by women, juvenile theater, etc.) conceive nation and identity building. Playwrights across time and place use drama to stage their aesthetic prerogatives and critique their socio-political reality. While focusing on nation and cultural identity, this course aims to cross-culturally compare diverse plays and examine how they relate to historical context, theatrical production, and drama theory.

With a rich history of traditions that span ancient spiritual practices and modern pop cultural phenomena, the study of Latino folklore in the United States offers an important opportunity to analyze the fluctuation and perception of ethnicity and identity in a modernizing world. This course will study how different cultural forms help express, negotiate, transform, and maintain Latino communities in the United States. We will center our discussions on five main areas of inquiry: Material Culture, Literary Folklore, Performance, Spirituality, and Festivals, which will enable us to explore everything from vibrant salsa dance scenes in the Bronx to hidden rituals of Santeria. Throughout the semester, we will problematize issues of migration, masculinity and femininity, sexuality, nationalism, spirituality, and identity. Our discussions will be informed with perspectives provided principally from Folklore and Latino Studies, and while Latino cultures are the focus of this course, we will cover methodologies and theories necessary to approach any and all ethnic groups.

This course will survey the history of Latin America over the last 200 years, the era of national independence. We will pay attention to politics and economy, but our emphasis will be on social and cultural history, on the forces that shape everyday life and the way people make sense of their lives. One way we can get at these issues will be to investigate how social movements and revolutions have reacted to, reflected, and in many cases driven changes in race, class, gender, sex, and the family. We will get at these issues through close readings of primary documents: memoirs, speeches, and journalistic accounts by individuals as reports of their lives and the events around them. Along with these readings we will watch an abundance of film. The general thematic approach of the course will draw specific examples from various Latin American countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Cuba. Assignments include very short papers over two books, plus in-class mid-term and final exam.

ANTH-A 205 ANTHROPOLOGY TODAY: TOPICS (3 CR)
VT: EXPLORE SUSTAINABLE AGRI & TRADE taught by Sarah Osterhoudt
This course examines agriculture and trade from a cultural perspective, including the increased popularity of Organic and Fair Trade certifications. Looking at the connections between farming, trading, and eating we ask: What is the “right” way to farm? Who decides, and why? How are producers and consumers connected across space and time? What do we mean by “sustainability” and how can we imagine sustainable food systems? In discussing such questions, we draw from anthropological literature, historical records, and real-world examples from around the world, to discuss the ways that growing, trading, and eating food connects to larger ideas of nature, culture, identity, and morality.

Our approach emphasizes direct experience realized through ethnographic inquiry, examination of objects in collections, aesthetic appreciation of landscape, conversations with artists, and participation in workshops and other events associated with the College Themester topic “Beauty.” How we understand and explain what we experience will take a variety of forms: oral presentation, writing, photographing, making, and doing.
ANTH-P 230 ARCH OF THE ANCIENT MAYA (3 CR) taught by Anne Pyburn
This is a course focuses on those Maya speakers of Central America who lived between 1100 BC and the 16th century AD. Many Maya cultures and languages continue into the present day, and we will draw on the knowledge of living people to understand the past. But today Maya people exist in the modern world as do people of all living cultures, and their traditions are now part of the modern world system. Our focus will be on Maya cultures before they were incorporated into the current global economy and how they
came to be incorporated, so most of the information we discuss will come from archaeology, history, and memory, not from contemporary ethnography.
ANTH-P 375 FOOD IN THE ANCIENT WORLD (3 CR) taught by Stacie King
Food pervades all aspects of people’s lives, from the most basic task of acquiring and consuming food to the intricate social meanings and political roles that we give to food in different social settings. We will look at the theoretical and methodological tools that archaeologists use to study food and foodways in ancient societies from a global anthropological perspective. We will explore how studying food and ancient foodways tells us more than just the methods and techniques of food acquisition, preparation, consumption, and discard, but also gives us a window into economic, symbolic, historic, and political realities of past peoples.
FOLK-F 252 MUSIC AND ACTIVISM IN LATIN AMERICA (3 CR) taught by Jennie Gubner
Music as Activism in Latin America examines music as a powerful vehicle for cultural transformation and social critique in the Americas. By studying the works and lives of key cultural activists, listening to music, watching films, and reading case studies, students will learn to think critically about different ways music has been used to voice resistance and engender change across Latin America. Starting in the 1960s and '70s and moving into the present, topics will include The Nueva Canción movement, the cultural politics of carnival festivities, participatory music making as a form of border activism, the transnational politics of hip-hop and rock, and neighborhood cultural centers, music festivals, and radio networks as forms of post-neoliberal critique. As we study different models of arts activism from Latin America, we will work creatively and collaboratively to see how these approaches might be applied to issues in our own communities. Shifting from theory to practice, the class will culminate with a grassroots activist event organized by students.
FOLK-F 315 TANGO LAB I: TANGO HISTORY & CULTURE THROUGH PERFORMANCE (3 CR) taught by Jennie Gubner
This performance seminar offers a hands-on introduction to Argentine tango music and culture through theory and practice. Working in small and large ensemble formats, students will collaboratively bringing tango music to life while simultaneously learning the rich social, political, and musical histories out of which this dynamic genre evolved. Over the semester, we will trace tango from its origins in the lower-class port-neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Montevideo to the dance floors of Paris, Tokyo and Helsinki, and, most recently, through its revival as a form of politicized youth culture in modern-day Argentina. Honoring tango's rich history as a social dance music, students will prepare music to be performed at a series of live tango dance events, where they will also learn the basic steps of tango dancing. Students must play an instrument and know how to read music to take this course. Instrumentation is flexible but ideally would include some combination including strings, bandoneon, piano, guitar, woodwinds & a vocalist. In order to prepare arrangements, early enrollment is appreciated. Please contact instructor, jgubner@indiana.edu, for permission to enroll.
FOLK-F 315 MYTH, COSMOS, AND HEALING IN LATIN AMERICA (3 CR) taught by John McDowell
We explore systems of belief and practice as they enter into traditional healing rituals in different regions of Latin America. This world area features many practices and practitioners operating at the boundary of medicine and religion. We will attend to the art, artifacts, music, ritual speech, and other techniques of curing and healing, stressing their connection to enabling mythologies and cosmologies. And we will inspect the remarkable transitions in these traditional systems in modern times, as they seemingly expand their scope of activity and yet are deeply transformed in the process.
HISP-P 290 TOPICS IN LUSO-BRAZILIAN CULTURE (3 CR)
VT: PORTUGUESE AROUND THE WORLD taught by Estela Vieira
Did you know that Portuguese is spoken across four different continents and is the sixth most spoken language in the world? This course introduces students to one of the first and most globalized cultures and languages, the Portuguese-speaking world. We begin with an overview of Portuguese expansion in the early modern period. Then we turn to Brazil, its search for a national identity and emergence as a global power. Lastly, we focus on the Portuguese-speaking African countries and their independence from Portuguese colonialism. Lectures will provide historical, socio-political, and cultural context, and our discussions will be devoted to literature, film, painting, architecture, and music. The course is taught in English. Those wishing to receive Portuguese credit for the course must do all writing assignments, exams, and essays in Portuguese.
HISP-P 311 ADVANCED GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION IN PORTUGUESE (3 CR) | also listed as HISP- P492 taught by Luciana Namorato

HISP-P 400 LITERATURES OF THE PORTUGUESE SPEAKING WORLD I (3 CR) taught by Estela Vieira
This course introduces students to Portuguese, Brazilian, and Lusophone-African literature. It is the first of a two part survey covering works written from the medieval period through romanticism in Brazil and Portugal—students are not obliged to take both parts of the survey. The emergence of an African and African-Brazilian literature will also be discussed. Representative literary authors and works serve as the basis for interdisciplinary and cross-cultural commentary of important social, political and historical issues, including imperialism and overseas expansion, nation building, and revolution. The course combines lecture and discussion, and is conducted in Portuguese. Students not taking the course for Portuguese credit can write assignments, exams, and essays in English or Spanish.
HISP-P 495 LUSO-BRAZILIAN COLLOQUIUM (3 CR)
VT: MACHADO DE ASSIS taught by Luciana Namorato
Machado de Assis (1839-1908) is a literary titan whose unlikely rise to prominence is legendary in Brazil. Born into poverty and orphaned at a young age, he was the grandson of slaves. Once an obscure name in the U.S., Machado de Assis has since acquired a distinguished following. Susan Sontag called him “the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America” and literary critic Harold Bloom describes the Brazilian writer as “the supreme black literary artist to date.” In this course, we will study selected works by Machado de Assis. Our discussions will include, but not be limited to, Machado’s social and political criticism of the Brazil of his time, as well as his literary dialogue with Brazilian and European predecessors and contemporaries. Readings and discussion in Portuguese.
HISP-S 322 INTRODUCTION TO FILM ANALYSIS IN SPANISH (3 CR) taught by Jonathan Risner
This course aims: (1) to introduce students to terms common to film analysis and film theory in Spanish; (2) to expose students to different film genres from Latin American countries and Spain; (3) provide students with an understanding of select cultural and historical factors that have influenced film production in Latin America and Spain. The first half of the course will be devoted to recognizing and understanding the formal components of film. In the course’s second half, we will examine how cinema can communicate a story and consider theoretical concepts common to film studies (e.g., auteur theory, genre studies, realism, ideology, gender, transnationalism) and how they manifest themselves in Latin American and Spanish cinemas.
HISP-S 324 INTRO STUDY OF HISP CULTURES (3 CR)
This course offers an introduction to the cultural history of Spain and Latin America, from the conquests of Spain and America through the twenty-first century. Special attention will be given to the Hispanic Caribbean, Spain, Argentina, Mexico and the Andean nations. Students will learn about the key events and
the fundamental ideas and concerns that have shaped Hispanic cultures across the centuries, such as processes of conquest and colonialism, nation formation, modernization, and the changing roles of religion, race and gender. Through discussions, written compositions and exams, students will learn to critically read and understand Hispanic cultures, and to develop original arguments in written and spoken Spanish. The class will be entirely conducted in Spanish.
HISP-S 326 INTRO TO HISPANIC LINGUISTICS (3 CR)
This course examines the basic linguistic structure of Spanish based on the principal fields of linguistic studies. The course begins with an overview of the characteristics of human language. Course topics include the structure and order of words (syntax), the forms and structure of words (morphology), the sounds of Spanish (phonetics and phonology) and how they compare with English, and how Spanish varies across regions, and by social considerations.
HISP-S 328 INTRO TO HISPANIC LITERATURE (3 CR)
This course provides students with the critical tools needed for the analysis and interpretation of Hispanic literatures through close readings of selected literary works from Spanish America and Spain, with an emphasis on issues of identity construction (e.g., regional, national, racial, and gender and sexuality). We will study the literary techniques of three major genres—poetry, narrative, and the essay—and will become familiar with the goals and methods of literary criticism. Through in-class discussions and written work, students will learn to develop grounded interpretations of texts by analyzing their content (story, ideas, themes), examining the ways that content and structure/techniques work together to convey themes, and exploring how texts engage with—reflect, respond to, and, often, seek to change--their historical, cultural, social, and/or political contexts.
HISP-S 334 PANORAMAS OF HISPANIC LITERATURE (3 CR) taught by Edgar Illas
This panoramic course is intended to help students expand on their knowledge of authors, literary movements, and Spanish culture and history more broadly, while improving their writing and speaking abilities in Spanish as well as their critical and analytical skills. Students will read, analyze, and discuss a broad selection of texts from different periods and contexts (including Iberia, Latin America, the US, and Africa). We will pay particular attention to the connection between narrative and politics. Class conducted entirely in Spanish.
HISP-S 417 HISPANIC POETRY (3 CR) taught by Reyes Vila-Belda
Poetry is often considered a difficult literary genre, an intricate form of writing divorced from social concerns and detached from the historical periods in which it is produced. The objective of this course is to read and analyze representative Hispanic poetic texts from 19th and 20th century (from Bécquer, Rosalía de Castro, Rubén Darío, Antonio Machado, among others) reflecting on the language, writing practices and literary forms, and situating the poems into artistic and literary movements. In addition, but equally important, we will bridge poetry in connection with the historical, social and political preoccupations of each period, looking carefully at how poetic texts responded and were engaged with their main issues of their times, such as gender, nation formation and national/regional identity, or the Spanish civil war. The class will be entirely conducted in Spanish.
HISP-S 420 MODERN SPAN-AMER PROSE FICTION (3 CR) taught by Deborah Cohn
In this course, we will study the trajectory of Spanish American and Caribbean prose fiction from the modernista movement of the late 1800s-early 1900s through the present. Themes that we will emphasize include: the relationship between Spanish America on the one hand and Europe or the U.S. on the other; questions of imperialism, rejecting the colonial past, and revolution and resisting U.S. hegemony in the region; efforts to construct collective identities (national, regional, gender/sexuality, racial, class). We will pay close attention to texts’ problematization of reality and representation of time (and the implications thereof), to the challenges that texts pose to traditional gender roles, and to how gender and sexuality may be reflected and refracted through political movements. Students will examine the ways that content and
structure/techniques work together in literary works to convey themes, and they will explore how texts engage with—reflect, respond to, and, often, seek to change--their historical, cultural, social, and/or political contexts. Primary readings may include novels and short stories by Bombal, Borges, Carpentier, Cortázar, Garro, Rulfo, Skármeta, Vargas Llosa, Vega, and others.
HISP-S 425 SPANISH PHONETICS (3 CR) taught by Erik Willis
This course studies on the sound system of Spanish. Topics include the articulatory system, the characteristics and description of Spanish sounds, the patterns of Spanish sounds, the historical development of modern Spanish from Latin and the variation of the Spanish sound system. Attention will also be given to differences between Spanish and English sounds. A secondary goal of the course is a more native-like pronunciation as a result of a deeper understanding of how the Spanish sound system works. Course evaluation is based on homework assignments, a class project and presentation, and three exams.
HISP-S 427 THE STRUCTURE OF SPANISH (3 CR) taught by J. Clancy Clements
En este curso, vamos estudiar el papel que desempeñan la estructura de información y el concepto de la Transitividad en la estructura y la función de los elementos de la oración española. En la introducción, aprenderemos la manera en que codificamos nuestra realidad (cómo nombramos las cosas, los fenómenos, y los conceptos) y discutiremos dos principios en la organización de las lenguas de nuestro mundo: la estructura de la información en el discurso, y la Transitividad. Estudiaremos estos dos principios, cómo funcionan, y cómo se aplican al análisis del español como un sistema que se refiere a eventos, estados, participantes, y situaciones. También aprenderemos unos métodos sencillos para analizar las lenguas, y en particular, el español. Para estudiar cómo funcionan la estructura de la información y la Transitividad, repasaremos primero los diferentes niveles de estructura y funciones: categorías léxicas, categorías sintácticas, la estructura de la oración, y tipos de oraciones según su estructura y según su función.
HISP-S 429 SPANISH SOCLINGUISTICS-PRAGMAT (3 CR)
VT: PRAGMATICS: LANG IN CONTEXT taught by César Félix-Brasdefer
The objective of this course is to examine language use in context (pragmatics) and sociolinguistic variation in different varieties of Spanish. The first part of the course covers the foundational concepts of pragmatics: meaning, context, speech acts, reference, politeness/impoliteness, and key notions in discourse analysis. This course will look at grammatical concepts (conditional, subjunctive, negation, preterit/imperfect, word order, etc.) from a pragmatic perspective using data from native and non-native speakers. The second part of the course applies these notions to pragmatic and sociolinguistic variation by examining the effect of social factors (e.g. region, age, social class) on communicative language use. In this course, we will analyze natural data in face-to-face interaction and from study abroad contexts in different regions of the Spanish-speaking world.
HISP-S 430 THE ACQUISITION OF SPANISH (3 CR)
This course presents a panoramic view of the major questions, research methods, and results in the study of the acquisition of Spanish from multiple perspectives. We will explore concepts such as interlanguage, error analysis, stages of development, language transfer, and language universals. The focus of the class will be on Spanish; application activities will focus on examples produced by second language Spanish learners. The course will also trace the development of the field, from Behaviorist theories to a variety of contemporary approaches to learner language. Students will analyze structures that present challenges to learners from all levels of grammar. They will also examine samples of learner language and analyze them using the tools typically employed in the field
HISP-S 435 LIT CHICANA Y PUERTORRIQUENA (3 CR) taught by Ricardo Andrés Guzmán
This course will deepen student’s knowledge of Latina/o literary and cultural production. Though the majority of the texts will be by Chicana/o and Puerto Rican authors, we will also include some works by authors from other Latina/o groups. By closely analyzing the interactions between content, form, and
context, we will develop grounded readings attuned to factors that shape particular Latina/o experiences in the United States. Some of the factors to which we will pay particular attention include race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, immigration, citizenship, rights, nation/nationalism, the politics of language, and histories of U.S. imperialism within and between Latina/o groups. The course will be conducted in Spanish.
HISP-S 471 SPANISH AMERICAN LITERATURE 1 (3 CR) taught by Kathleen Myers
In this course, we will study Spanish American literature from the moment of conquest to the early 20th century. Looking at the role of writing and literature during the colonial period and the first century of independence, we’ll pay attention to the interplay between aesthetic, cultural, social, and ideological concerns. We will read and discuss in class a wide variety of works, including early narratives of conquest and colonization, poetry and autobiographies of the colonial period, 19th century nation-building novels, and modernist writings at the turn of the 20th century. By exploring the process of how Latin America has been “written” in the past, this course also aims to provide students with a solid background that will help them better understand Latin America in the 20th and 21st centuries.
HISP-S 481 HISPANIC AMERICAN NATIONAL & REGIONAL LITERATURE (3 CR) taught by Olimpia Rosenthal
Topic: Andean literature & visual culture. This course examines the literary and cultural production of the Andean region, focusing specifically on Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. We will consider the ways in which colonial legacies continue to shape postcolonial Andean cultures, we will trace the development of revolutionary politics and Andean Marxism, and we will reflect on the ways in which ethnic and racial identities are negotiated through literary and visual representations. Students will critically examine a variety of literary texts (including short stories, novels, poetry, and essays), and they will develop their analytical vocabulary for approaching visual culture (specifically for studying photography, graphic novels, and films). Some of the authors and visual artists that we will analyze and discuss include: Guamán Poma, Mario Vargas Llosa, José María Arguedas, César Vallejo, José Carlos Mariátegui, Luz Argentina Chiriboga, Martín Chambi, Freddy Mamani, Miguel Det, and Jorge Sanjinés. The course is conducted entirely in Spanish.

INTL-I 202 GLOBAL HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT (3 CR) taught by Stephanie Kane
We will explore human-environment interactions from international and interdisciplinary perspectives. We will consider how and why humans shape the nature they inhabit in particular ways, and how in turn, nature shapes health and disease among humans. We will study how, as global change unfolds in particular cultures, ecologies and geographies, it alters human resistance and susceptibility to disease, and too, alters the access of individual and communities to conditions of wellness. Drawing from the social and natural
sciences and the humanities, the course will provide students with the concepts, theories and analytic tools useful for understanding and addressing the social, political and economic complexities of the fundamental global health and environment issues of our time.
INTL-I 300 TOPICS IN INTERNATIONAL STDS (3 CR)
VT: GLOBAL ENV INST & DEVELOPMENT taught by Nikolaos Zirogiannis
This class will offer an in depth analysis of environmental institutions at different levels of governance (i.e. global, national, local). We will start by tracing the history of global environmental institutions, beginning with the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, and cover a series of important waypoints leading up to the 21st Conference of Parties in December of 2015 in Paris. We will also examine the history of international environmental agreements, addressing environmental (i.e. Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, Kyoto Protocol, etc.) and natural resources issues (i.e. International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, UN Reduction of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, etc.). Another substantive area of analysis will be the interactions between trade and the environment as well as the role of developing nations in global environmental governance.
INTL-I 302 GLOBAL HEALING (3 CR) taught by Stephanie Kane
We will study traditions, trajectories and technologies of healing in a globalized world. We focus on healing practices that have been traversing the world, some since ancient times, some on the cutting edge of scientific knowledge, bringing their own cultural histories along even as they are transformed by new practitioners, inventions and problems. We focus on the social, political and economic conditions that must be in place for healing practices to thrive; on the social interactional spaces and frameworks of interpretation that different healing practices create; on the interconnections formed among healers, those seeking treatment, and those implicated in causing dis-ease. Who and what is excluded or included within the spaces of different healing practices? What are the geometries and geographies of power involved? What identities, stories, and pathways of social change come together through healing practices and how might the curious conjunctures that emerge influence the shape of future worlds?
LATS-L 398 A & H TOPICS IN LATINO STUDIES (3 CR) | also listed as FOLK-F 356
VT: LATINO FOLKLORE taught by Mintzi Martinez-Rivera
Youth are one of the main social groups responsible for key social, cultural, economic and political changes in society. Latino Youth, specifically, have played a significant role in shaping mainstream youth culture in the United States. However, Latino Youth, as other minority groups, are heavily criminalized and considered deviant. In this course we will analyze different cultural practices performed by Latino Youth using the concepts of deviancy and creativity as cornerstones. Some of the cultural practices that we will examine are pachuco culture, graffiti, lowriding, gang-life, salsa, hip-hop, among other cultural manifestations; the different case studies will allow us to study Latino Youth’s active participation in creating, negotiating, and transforming the culture and community where they live. This class will combine Latino Studies and Folklore studies in order to analyze and explore the multiple and varied Latino cultural performances and experiences from a holistic approach.
LATS-L 400 ADV TOPICS IN LATINO STUDIES (3 CR) | also listed as MUS-M/Z 413
VT: LATIN AMER & LATINO POP MUSIC
This course will explore historical and cultural aspects in the development of important popular music genres in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as their impact in the United States. We will also examine issues of performance and instrumentation and the output of significant composers, arrangers, and performers. This course is for non-music majors only.
LSTU-L 231 GLOBALIZATION AND LABOR (3 CR) taught by Marquita Walker
This course explores the globalization of trade, production, and migration and the effects of these processes on workers in a globalized world. Through reading, discussion, and problem formation, students will critically think about the way global processes and policies impact workers' daily lives, analyze existing historical and current justifications for offshore production and the dismantling of barriers to trade and investment, and explore alternatives to these policies.
