Will meet with SPAN 590, Our world is filled with borders. Borders and borderlands play a key role in the production and contestation of national and cultural identities. They offer insights into the status of citizenship and the nation in the age of globalization, and also into long-standing debates surrounding cross-cultural encounter, exchange, and conflict. This course will offer a critical introduction to border studies, an interdisciplinary field that draws upon cultural studies, anthropology, geography, and political science in order to reflect on the political, cultural, social, and economic impact of geopolitical borders. The course will begin with readings from recent theoretical work on borders and border studies, and then it will be divided into three units devoted to the cultural production from and about three significant border spaces: Spain/Morocco, Israel/Palestine, and U.S./Mexico. All literary texts and films will be taught in English translation, but students will be encouraged to read the texts in their original languages: Spanish, Catalan, Arabic, Hebrew, and English.
