Latin American Culture
This course will introduce students to a diversity of issues shaping the cultures of Latin America. Such a large project requires a selection of themes that will reveal the political, social and artistic components that contribute to the unique cultural development of Contemporary Latin America. Students will have reading assignments which will provide the necessary background information for in-class discussions. Students will be responsible for contributing additional information to class discussions found through Internet links or traditional library materials. Class time will be spent predominantly analysing the material read and discussing its relevance to the development of Contemporary Latin American culture and civilization.
