• TX 201B-002: FROM BUENOS AIRES TO SANTIAGO | Th, 5:00-6:00, P. Rubio/A. Vacs
  This seminar examines key themes in Argentinian and Chilean politics, economic development and culture by focusing on four cities: Buenos Aires and La Plata in Argentina, and Santiago and Valparaíso in Chile. We will center our study on both the 19th and 20th centuries; on the emergence of a strong middle and organized working class, the growing participation of women, the impact of immigration and the development of cultural landscapes with vibrant literature, music and art. We will examine the rise of political democracies and their abrupt end with the military dictatorships of the '70s. We will also study the emergence of La Plata as the first planned city in Latin America, and Valparaíso's rise as the most important city in Latin America's Pacific coast due to the influx of commerce from the Atlantic to the Pacific and vice versa before the construction of the Panama Canal.
  Students will appreciate the different ways in which the study of the urban experience in the Southern Cone allows them to understand, from various disciplines and perspectives, the development of these two countries as they struggle to establish their own cultural identity, to foster their economic development, social well being and political stability.
