HISTORICAL RITUALS IN LATIN AMERICA
ANTH V3120, Call Number: 15375, 3 Points
Date/Time: TR 10:10 am – 11:25 am Location: 707 Hamilton Hall
Instructor: Claudio Lomnitz, Campbell Family Professor of Anthropology
Prerequisites: undergraduate majors. Anthropologists and historians of literacy and communication have emphasized the reliance on multivocal imagery in the organization of social and political life in Latin America. Historically, the salient role of image and of ritual in political ritual was fed by the chasm between literate and illiterate segments of the population. During the twentieth century, however, the rise of mass politics on one hand, and television and other visual media on the other, gave a new lease on the vibrant relevance of historical ritual and myth in local polticial life. This course explores the role of religious and secular ritual and myth in framing historical processes. It makes special emphasis on the use of Catholic ritual, imagery, and mythology in the European conquest and colonization of the continent; and in revolution, nationbuilding, civic life, and sexual politics, since the 19th century.
LEARNING FROM LATIN AMERICAN CITIES: PLANNING AND URBANIZATION
PLAN A6633 001, Call Number: 91649, 3 Points
Date/Time: M 9:00 am – 11:00 am Location:300 Buell Hall
Instructor: Clara Irazabal, Assistant Professor of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation
Whether the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) from Curitiba, Brazil, the strategies for integral barrio rehabilitation from Medellin, the cable cars as mass transit systems from Rio de Janeiro, the participatory experience of communal councils in Caracas, or the disaster reconstruction programs in Chilean cities, Latin American and Caribbean cities are bursting with innovative planning experiences that are increasingly recognized around the world. This course will critically examine these planning experiences aiming to disentangle their buzz from their worth. How are these programs, projects, and/or policies contributing to creating more just and sustainable cities in the Americas? How have they travelled, or could travel, around the world and to what effects? What are their ongoing challenges and how can they be perfected? LEARNING FROM LATIN AMERICAN CITIES will expand both the comparative analytical skills as well as the toolkit of planning instruments and case studies students can draw from to inform their professional careers wherever they may lead them.
