ARGN 3302 - Understanding Argentina (1 Cr.)
Course description
This course seeks to provide students with an intercultural understanding of contemporary Argentina through classes, site visits, and critical analysis, all of which will allow them to draw comparisons to their own home country. The syllabus also focuses on the different spheres where the individual and the social intersect in Argentina: the private space, the public space, the political space (which may differ from the students’ home country).
The departing point of this course will be a synchronic overview of Argentina nowadays. The fact that students will be culturally immersed in the host country for a whole semester will strengthen their self-awareness and global perspective.
Students will learn about the interplay of some issues in today's Argentinian society: identity, politics, gender, ethnicity, migrations, education, culture, power relations, and similarities and differences with the USA.
