Title: Latin American Studies Seminar: Memories of the Future: National Imaginaries in Brazil and Argentina
Description: As both historical and legendary figures, Vargas and Peron shaped the imaginaries of the modern nation in Brazil and Argentina. This course selectively addresses their legacies by exploring how notions of the future, the nation, and modernity were constructed in the 1930's-50's and how these imaginaries are reinterpreted as cultural memories in contemporary Brazil and Argentina. The course will focus on the Vargas Era and the Peron governments and on how these memories are being recast in artistic productions, the media, and forms of consumption.
