Civilisation and Barbarism in Argentine Literature (SPAN0010)

This course provides an introduction to 19th- and 20th-century Argentinian literature with particular attention to the dichotomy civilisation versus barbarism. Topics examined include the conflict between the colonial heritage and the progressive ideals of the liberal generation in the first half of the 19th century, the participation and/or exclusion of different ethnic groups in the process of constructing a national identity, the appropriation of Positivist ideologies, and the emergence of cultural nationalism in the 20th century. The texts studied will encourage in-class debate on the role of ideology in nation-building, as well as issues regarding race, class, and social conflict. Classes will take the form of lectures and seminars involving discussion and close analysis of the texts studied. N.B. This course is taught in Spanish (seminar discussions are held in English)
