SPAN 674 - Hispanic Cities: Power, Space & Representation

Credit(s): 3

HISPANIC CITIES: SPACE & POWER
Component: Lecture
Latin America is the most urbanized region in the world; its oldest cities were built by Spanish conquerors on the ruins of indigenous empires. Through public artwork, news and historical information, demographic and geographic visualization, cultural texts, film and other media, we will examine major Spanish and Latin American cities as a space of representation, resistance, and civic action. Students will each adopt a city and construct a web resource on its history, culture, architecture, and social issues past and present.
