Additional
Information
|
| Location: |
The program will consist of two weeks of study in Buenos Aires (January 1-17), preceded by three days orientation in Tempe (December 26-30). In addition to being South America’s largest capital, Buenos Aires is also the most important Jewish cultural center in Latin America and one of the major cities of immigrant culture on the continent. During this intensive program, you will have the opportunity to examine the cultural production relating to this city in the areas of literature, art, music, journalism, theater, and photography. In addition to meeting with major figures from the arts and academic community, we will explore together this very “user friendly” metropolis, towards understanding how it has been represented in and interpreted by Argentine culture.

The program is open to all ASU students. Prerequisites include some previous knowledge of Spanish and upper-division standing.
