- NEW COURSE FOR THE FALL 2013
LAST 199- INTRODUCTION TO BRAZILIAN STUDIES
(3
credits - no prerequisite - taught in English)
Instructor:
Jose Cairus
The
purpose of this course is to introduce students to topics in Brazil through a
multidisciplinary approach using a broad range of sources such as textbooks,
novels, magazines, and audiovisual materials. Students will be introduced to
the Portuguese realm of Latin America with its transatlantic connections.
Classes will elaborate on the high mixed ethnic environment in Brazil that
blended Natives, Europeans, Africans, and Asians. This phenomenon bore a rich
and distinct culture that manifests itself in music, arts and sports, some of
which was later exported on a planetary scale. Course materials will also cover
contemporary topics in economy, society, politics, and environmental issues.
Topics will be taught in a comparative framework with other Latin American
countries, the United States and within a global context. By conclusion, we
will analyze the rise of Brazil, at the twilight of the twenty first century,
to a top world economic and as a political "soft power" on global
scale upheld by a solid social democracy.
Jose
T. Cairus was born in Rio de Janeiro, and has an M.A. in African Diaspora at
Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and a Ph.D. in Latin American History at
York University in Toronto. His doctoral dissertation is titled "The
Gracie Clan and the Making of Brazilian jiu-jitsu: National Identity,
Performance and Culture, 1905-1993". At York University, University of
Guelph and University of Toronto, Dr. Cairus has taught courses in Islamic
Civilization, African History, Latin American History and Brazilian Culture.

The
works of Euclides da Cunha (1866-1909, Brazil), Olive Schreiner (1855-1920,
South Africa) and Thomas Mofolo (1877-1948, South Africa) all deal with
questions of time and historical change under conditions of colonial conflict.
While temporality has long been a key concern in the humanities, not least in
postcolonial studies, the implications of the theoretical debates point in two
different directions. On the one hand, notions of multiple temporalities,
alternative modernities or entangled durées in the postcolony are presented as
advances on earlier, hegemonic conceptions of modernity. Other theorists,
however, argue just as forcefully that positing temporal difference is an act
of epistemic violence that serves to mask the interests of power. While the
chapter presented at this roundtable begins by assessing some attempts to solve
this aporia – notably the well known interventions of Johannes Fabian and
Dipesh Chakrabarty – it will ultimately argue that a theorization of literary
temporality by way of Da Cunha's, Schreiner's and Mofolo's narratives will
provide a more enabling and less binaristic account of the problem.

MICHEL GOBAT, Associate Professor, History. The University of
Iowa
THE INVENTION OF LATIN AMERICA: A TRANSNATIONAL HISTORY OF
ANTI-IMPERIALISM, DEMOCRACY AND RACE
This talk re-thinks the origins and significance of the idea of
Latin America. It considers how “Latin America” was invented not by French
imperialists, as commonly thought, but by South American elites protesting U.S.
expansion into Central America in the 1850s. In tracing this process, the talk
will illuminate the hidden tensions between racism, anti-imperialism, and
democracy that have marked “Latin America” from the very start.
Michel
Gobat's research interests focus on the impact of U.S. intervention in the
Caribbean basin, and the nature of revolutionary processes in this region
during the twentieth century. He completed a book entitled Confronting the
American Dream: Nicaragua under U.S. Imperial Rule (2005). Based on research in
Nicaraguan and U.S. archives, the book explores the effects of Americanization
in Nicaragua from the heyday of Manifest Destiny through the U.S. military
occupation of 1912-33. Michel has presented aspects of this work at conferences
in the United States and Central America.
