T/D265

This course analyzes the various roles played by performance in the negotiation of power and identity construction in Latin America, the Caribbean, and The emerging Latina/o diasporas in the United States, from a hemispheric standpoint. We will study how the mechanisms of spectacle have been used, and continue to be employed to represent, implement, and subvert colonial and neocolonial orders. We will look at performance, as a vehicle for knowledge creation and transfer across temporal and spatial environments, in the context of border narratives, new technologies, tourism, migration, globalization, and cultural memory. This course counts toward the LALACS major/minor. GLAFC, Fall semester, odd years.
