Section Title:
Brazil as Global Power
Section Info:
Topic Title: "Brazil as Global Power" taught in English No Prerequisites Brazil inhabits part of the world that is often assumed as either impacted by or reacting to other ostensibly more powerful literary styles, governments, or markets. To a degree of contrast, the aim of this course will be to explore Brazil as the stage upon which broader trends are set across the world. Though global asymmetries of power still keep it in check, Brazilian influence extends beyond its territorial borders. Based in anthropology, comparative literature, history, political science, and other fields, this mutli-disciplinary course pays special attention to how the “rise of Brazil” is played out through relations of class, gender, race, and sexuality. Our main goal is to understand the reach and limitation of Brazil as a global power.
