In this course we will study the triangular relationship between Cuba, New York, and, Spain as it exists in both historical and imagined instances. Through fiction and film, we will explore the ways in which issues of translation frame artistic production of these locations and their intersections. Students will create and respond to weekly questions, serve as discussion leaders, and complete midterm and final assignments.

An inquiry into the representation of war in the late 20th century, this course will focus largely on a single conflict, the recent war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We will examine a variety of media: photography, theater, poetry, and narrative, as well as testimonials and documentaries. Our discussions will also respond to readings grounded in theory rather than context.
