We explore this question from the nineteenth century to today by looking at the ways that Brazilian politicians, intellectuals, icons, and everyday denizens have marked and interacted with English- and Spanish-speaking Americas. Through the field of Brazilian Studies that includes cultural and literary criticism, history, and the social sciences, we approach these and other Americas as historically contingent and demarcated by power relations, with some attention to class, gender, race, and sexuality. The first half of this course explores Brazil in relation to the idea of Latin America. The second half looks at Brazil in relation to the U.S.. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
