This seminar will use art and architecture as a lens to better understand Latin America's social, political, cultural, and economic history in the 20th century. Weekly themes will include changes in conceptual art, new forms of media, indigenous technologies, modern architecture, housing, and urban design. The readings and discussions in this course will situate art and architecture within a variety of political regimes, including revolutionary governments, military dictatorships, and the contemporary neoliberal state. Not only will we focus on the ideas of artists and architects but also on how these aesthetic and technological processes have been shaped by non-elites, such as laborers, students, and everyday citizens.
