New York University in Buenos Aires History, Politics and Culture in Latin America An Introduction FALL 2010 Professor: Dr. Flavia Fiorucci Email:
[email protected] Classroom and Course Schedule: Room Borges, Tuesdays and Wednesday 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm Office Hours: Tuesdays 2:30 and Wednesday upon request. Description of the course: This course is designed to introduce students to some of the most important problems and debates about Latin American history, society and culture. Latin America is a complex region full of contrasts. Its population is both racially and culturally heterogeneous. Its many countries share some common cultural roots and political origins, but also have distinct histories. National histories and individual societies did not always follow parallel paths. We will consider the general as well as the specific paths, and study the successes, failures, contrasts and future challenges facing the region. The structure of this course is primarily chronological but also thematic. We will start with the Conquest and its legacies and we will end with the problems that we experience today in big cities in Latin America. We will pay particular attention to the enduring legacies and challenges of some specific historical issues, such as slavery and the particular entrance of Latin America into global capitalism. The course favors a multi-disciplinary approach, and therefore we will use a different array of materials including films, letters, photographs and essays. We will emphasize first hand accounts of the topics we discuss. REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION: You are required to do the assigned reading in advance and come to class prepared to participate actively. Effective participation is only possible if you do the reading. You will be evaluated for your participation (20% of your grade). The required written work for the course consists of: Homework One short reaction paper on the visit and short stories. We will talk in class. A final research paper of approximately 7 - 10 pages. A midterm and a final exam. The final grade will be determined based on the following distribution: class participation 20% ; reaction paper and homework (20%); midterm (15%), final exam (15%); final essay (30%). Attendance Policy NYU Buenos Aires has a strict policy about course attendance. No unexcused 1
absences are permitted. Students should contact their class teachers to catch up on missed work but should NOT approach them for excused absences. Absences due to illness must be discussed with the Assistant Director for Academics Affairs, María Pirovano Peña within one week of your return to class. A doctor note excusing your absence is mandatory. If students get sick on an exam day, they must let the Assistant Director for Academic Affairs know in advance about this, and they must see a doctor the same day in order to have their absence excursed. Absence requests for non-illness purposes must be discussed with the Assistant Director for Academics Affairs, María Pirovano Peña prior to the date(s) in question. The first unexcused absence will be penalized by deducting 1.5% from the student’s final course mark. After that each unexcused absence will be penalized by deducting 3% from the student’s final course mark. Students who have perfect attendance (100%) during the semester and have fulfilled all course requirements, i.e. class participation, meeting all deadlines, etc. will get extra points equivalent to 2 % of the final grade. Students are responsible for making up any work missed due to absence. NYU BA. also expects students to arrive to class promptly (both at the beginning and after any breaks) and to remain for the duration of the class. Three late arrivals or earlier departures (10 minutes after the starting time or before the ending time) will be considered one absence. Each class has a duration of one hour and half. Missing one class represents one absence. Please note that for classes involving a field trip or other external visit, transportation difficulties are never grounds for an excused absence. It is the student’s responsibility to arrive at an agreed meeting point in a punctual and timely fashion. Holidays’ make up classes are mandatory as regular scheduled classes.
Exams and Submission of Work Final Exam dates cannot be changed under any circumstance. Unexcused absences from exams are not permitted and will result in failure of the exam. Late work should be submitted in person to the Assistant Director for Academics Affairs during office hours (Mon – Fri, 9.30 am to 5 pm), who will write on the essay or other work the date and time of submission, in the presence of the student. Another member of the administrative staff can accept the work, in person, in the absence of the Assistant Director for Academics Affairs and will write the date and time of submission on the work, as above. Work submitted within 5 weekdays after the submission time without an agreed extension receives a penalty of 10 points on the 100 point scale. Written work submitted after 5 weekdays after the submission date without an agreed extension fails and is given a zero. Please note end of semester essays must be submitted on time 2
Final essays must be submitted to the professor in print and electronic copy. If the student is not in Buenos Aires, he / she must send a printed copy via express postal mail (i.e. FeDEX, DHL, UPS, etc) to the NYU Center in Buenos Aires – Anchorena 1314 - (C1425ELF) Argentina. This copy must arrives before or on the date of established deadline.
Language Policy: Students who want to major in Spanish and Latin American Literature and Culture have to do their course work in Spanish and as well part of the reading for the week in Spanish. I indicated in the bibliography the alternative reading material in Spanish. Normally this alternative reading replaces only one of the two texts you have to read for each week. The rest of the students are also welcome to handle their written works in Spanish. Spanish Tutoring Sessions are mandatory for all students who get a B- or below in any written or oral work. Plagiarism I expect you to follow the rules on academic honesty and intellectual integrity established by NYU University. Presenting someone else’s work as your own is plagiarism. Essays must be entirely your own work. You will receive no credit for the assignment involved and in serious cases you will be referred to academic authorities for more severe forms of discipline.
