All students are to complete course content online synchronously. (OLSYN) This course surveys the political, social, and cultural developments that have defined the nation since independence. After studying nineteen-century authors that articulate contrasting visions for the future of the country, students will explore how the original dichotomies dividing Argentina are rekindled in the twentieth century. As we will corroborate, escalating ideological tensions may also be discerned in the clashing depictions of historical figures that would soon achieve mythical status: Juan Domingo Perón, Eva Duarte, and Ernesto “Che” Guevara. Still tracing deep seethed political divisions, the last part of the course will attempt to explain the origins of the radical violence that culminated in the most recent dictatorship (1976- 1983), and the chain of events that led to the absurd Malvinas experience. As we progress throughout the semester, we will also treat ourselves to several works by Jorge Luis Borges, who rewrites nineteenth-century literature, but also comments on controversial twentieth-century figures and events.
