Ciencia Política y Estudios Internacionales | Political Science and International Relations4554European Politics | Política EuropeaElective14N/A687.5This course meets twice per week for 1 hour and 40 minutes each time.Mandatory attendance to at least 80% of the course.Europe is indeed a unique region: The cradle of western civilization and thus of many of the elements that define life in a sizable part of the world, from Catholicism to Romance languages and the modern State. A developed region, it is however not exempt of tensions: Brexit, the rise of the far right, regions wanting to secede, elections, economic and migration crises, European integration, etc. The goal of this course is to provide you with the tools to better understand the political culture and institutions of the states that make‐up this fascinating region. We will take a comparative approach to studying the political systems of Europe (primarily Western Europe) and the European Union and the current policy issues facing both European governments and their citizens.

We shall be grappling with one major question, namely, what is the "Middle East", and is it anything more than a geographic place, or is it a unified and coherent political, economic, and cultural entity?
The course will include: an analysis of the growth and nature of the state in the Middle East, the relationship between religion and politics, the prevalence of authoritarianism, the processes towards democratisation: the importance of Arab nationalism and Islamism: the roots of some of the conflicts in the region, such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, the latest Arab revolutions, and the rise of Islamism.

Since that time, Russia has experienced two transitions. In the 1990s, it seemed to have bright prospects for a transition to democracy and subsequent political and economic development. Instead, over the last two decades, we witnessed the rise of authoritarianism under Vladimir Putin. Before February 2022, Russia’s de-democratization seemed to be an internal problem of the Russian society. By launching a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, Russia threatens to destroy the international order. Why did Russia invade Ukraine? What consequences this conflict will have for Russia, Ukraine, and the rest of the world? The course also provides background on transitions of other post-Soviet Eastern European countrieshttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1liqO0rTj4Z5CAI_Ugo4c8mpPTpzkJCT4/view?usp=sharing

Derecho | Law7809Comparative Criminal Law | Derecho PenalElective15N/A343.75This course is taught in an intensive format. It has ten meetings of 1.40 hours each taught from March 11-22Each criminal law system requires an act (actus reus) and a mental state concerning that act (mens rea). This immediately raises interesting questions: can people incur criminal responsibility for failing to act (omissions)? Can legal entities be criminally liable, although they strictly spoken have neither limbs nor soul? And what is exactly the relationship between intent (as the most relevant form of mens rea) and guilt (in the sense of blameworthiness)? We will discover that various legal systems often provide different answers to these questions. The course will be descriptive and critical. We will seek to understand the different approaches legal systems have taken to these (and other) issues. But we will also discuss and debate which approaches are better than the others.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kIJKPjBdBFWdL4n1NQHgB83PuZ5aXdNf/view?usp=sharing

Classes met twice per week.What is the role of a lawyer when corporate or sovereign finances are being discussed? What can be their input during the setup of a project or its financing? What happens when either of these fail? In this course, we will cover aspects related to the corporate world from a lawyer’s perspective. We will analyze concepts and examine cases to develop a FAQ handbook. By the end of the course, students will have elaborated a handbook that they will be able to refer to when then graduate and start their “real” professional life.

Derecho | Law7769 International Economic Law | Derecho Internacional EconómicoElective14N/A343.75 This course lasts two months and has one course per week lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes. It is usually taught in intensive format during the second half of the semester.This course looks at the international legal regime governing world trade. It will look, first, at central features of World Trade Organisation (WTO) law: the principle of non-discrimination, permissible safeguard measures, product regulation, and the treatment of subsidies. Secondly, it will look at the WTO dispute settlement system, the collapse of confidence in that system, and proposals for reform. Thirdly, it will examine how regional trade arrangements- such as Mercosur, US-Mexico-Canada and the European Union- fit in with the WTO system and how they have refashioned norms of international trade law. The course will then conclude by looking at two wider international political economic concerns, and their relationship to international trade law. One is climate change and the commitment to ‘Net-Zero’. There are questions both about how the WTO aligns with this commitment and about the emergence of ‘green protectionism’ in countries such as China and the United States. The other is the emergence of China and the ‘developmental States’ of South East Asia and East Asia which rely on far heavier and more selective State involvement within the market than has historically been the case with those who advanced the WTO. We will look at the questions this raises about future world trade law.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MjuwVPxdtr3HRm9dQ5Q4deNQYfmUDLkTKdl_z2sJk6k/edit?usp=sharing

Diseño | Design4800Furniture Fundamentals: Local Heritage through Global Design | Diseño de Mobiliario ModularElective24N/A687.5This course meets twice per week for 1 hour and 40 minutes each time.Mandatory attendance to at least 80% of the course.Before the Spanish arrival to the Río de la Plata in the XVI th. century, the Argentine territory was inhabited by a varied group of indigenous cultures that settled in different regions of the country, Chile and Uruguay. Based on empirical knowledge, each culture conceived and developed its own methods and techniques for the creation of daily life objects. By transforming their own handicraft production, native cultures benefited from the resources of their environment and transferred their codes, symbols and beliefs to each of the pieces that they created for their habitat. These developments derived in an authentic culture of local furniture: the object of study of this subject. With a theoretical-practical modality, the course proposes to have a view on the different productive techniques which were used by Argentine indigenous peoples to further approach the diversity of materials and tools that were used in each region.
The aims of the course are: 1) To learn local practices through the study of the history of cultural furniture. 2) To introduce a history of regional materials. 3) To study local handicraft work and genuine possibilities of local industries. Throughout the course, participants will produce their own modular furniture prototypes and pieces. In turn, they will learn furniture design concepts through specific softwares aimed at designing in three dimensions, and modular production (Rhino).
Workshops will be delivered with the DIY modality.

In the first and last meetings of the course, we will discuss cultural and intellectual foundations for the Latin America “idea”. The course will be divided into three major blocks (units II to IV). Firstly, we will study dressing practices and fashion based on the premise that they constitute privileged vantage points to know the interrelationships in the production of individual and collective identities. We will focus on the production, uses, and circulation of specific items—such as ponchos, jeans, and handkerchiefs— as well as on the dissemination of certain figures and trends, like the “Modern Girls” in the 1920s and 1960s. Through those items and trends, we will analyze imbrications linked to local, national, and transnational spaces, along with the relationships with fashion, gender, and politics. Secondly, we will focus on musical sounds and cultures. We will explore the origin of the nations’ meanings through our study of certain genres —tango, samba, and folklore—, and then we will study local and national appropriations of rock and punk sounds. Lastly, we will analyze a set of documentary and fictional films, which broadly produced interpretations in Latin America, either in terms of the 1960s revolutionary utopias or from the oscillation between dystopia and hope in our present time.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QHh1G5WGhetlld10O81JvvWKZnpIhxwj/view?usp=sharing

No se necesitan conocimientos previos de la asignatura. | The course is lecture-practice. No prior knowledge of the subject is required.This course explores the relationship between design and storytelling through three key matters: how to tell a good story? How to build a good visual message? How to connect with users through a good story? Currently, storytelling is sued in Marketing, Advertising, and Digital business. It is modeled by its design, which gives it shapes, colors, materials, and a visual and objectual language that transforms its meaning, guided by the Gestalt principles and the object’s functional properties. The storyboard techniques work with time-story and interactivity, while archetypes and design-fiction create imaginary worlds and utopic or dystopic scenarios. The design looks towards the future and reflects on the present and goes beyond brand, packaging, web, etc., design to project the economy, user experience, and stimulate co-creation.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iiXAVKtiWRd7H7AopAq5bV1NC-0fPfef/view?usp=sharing

In this course we will go through the different features of the very many attempts to bring down inflation. We will cover in some details the hyperinflation episodes of 1989-90 when CPI rose 200% in a month. As we go through the different inflation and disinflation spasm, we will also analyze a few cases in Latin America and try to answer why Argentina could not replicate the inflation targeting model that most others in the region adopted in the last 2 or 3 decades. As we go through the years we will cover basic historic facts, macro features, and institutional aspects of Argentina. Overall, you should end the course knowing Argentina better. We will ask ourselves the question of why the Argentine society seems to be more tolerant with inflation than relevant peers.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WGDlsCMm4im3ylcCULnWG3e4hI0kDg5p/view?usp=sharing

Historia y Estudios Culturales | History and Cultural Studies3917Imagining the Modern City in the Americas: A Dialogue between New York City, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires | Imaginarios de la Ciudad Moderna en las AméricasElective14N/A687.5This course meets twice per week for 1 hour and 40 minutes each time.Mandatory attendance to at least 80% of the course.Debates on modernity and modernization led to great changes in the urban layout, shape and appearance of cities between the late 19th century and the early 20th, across the Americas. In consequence, there are common elements in the development of their urban imaginaries, which can be traced in the representations of their cityscapes. Nevertheless, the construction of a modern and autochthonous image of each city was defined by distinct means, resources, strategies and practices.
In this course we will study the urban visual culture of New York, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires to analyse similarities and differences in their modernization processes, discussing the notions of centre and periphery, and comparing the urban contexts to determine the transregional and transcultural perspectives at stake.
We will trace a map of relationships and connections, focusing on cityscapes published in the printed press and ephemera (postcards, posters, calendars, etc.), cinema, literature and the visual arts.
In order to study and contrast the visual dimensions of these three cities the classes will focus on the following areas:
- Landscape as symbol of the modern city’s identity.
- Conventions and paradigmatic views of certain places: the building of a “commonplace”.
- Dialogues between art and printed images: relationships and mutual influences.
- Conditions of production, circulation and appropriation of images.
- Images of the city as a spectacle: tourism, commercial imagery and publicity.
- Urban change and the modern metropolis experience. The flaneur.

From an initial discussion of the most common theories that seek to explain the role of religion and spirituality in modern societies, we will analyze their presence in the Americas.
We will observe the ways of believing, belonging, and behaving both in institutional religion and in people's daily lives. We will consider the major debates about the relationship between religion, politics, and the public sphere, as well as how the religious and the spiritual are represented in the media, social networks, and the cultural industry.
We will focus on what is happening in the Americas, both in the United States and in Latin America, with special attention to Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Finally, we want to emphasize that we consider this course as an academic and cultural learning experience, so we hope to carry out dynamic activities that allow us to know the religious and spiritual diversity in the city of Buenos Aires.

Its objective is to enhance students’ understanding of the region’s current issues and debates by exploring the historical, political, cultural and economic processes that have shaped it in the past, and continue to do so. Economics, politics, history and culture will then be important building blocks in this course. By the end of the semester students should have fostered a critical and analytical thinking about Latin American politics and development.
Class discussion is expected and students who actively participate in class will be rewarded with an extra grade. Sometimes, the lecturer will anticipate the specific questions or issues that will be discussed in the following class so that students may prepare in advance by thinking about the answers thoroughly and preparing to expose their ideas. Other times, small tasks that lay the ground for the discussion in the next session will be assigned. During that session, the output of the exercise may be collected as proof that all students are prepared for the meeting.

In Latin America, the formation of new social movements helped make geopolitical, economic, and social inequalities not only visible but crucial in the local political arena. Then, the far right made an appearance.
This course studies current topics of human rights through Latin American films of the past three decades. Questions regarding state terrorism, the right to the city, feminism, gender and sexual dissidence, native peoples, extractivism, race, migration, access to food, housing, work, health and education, will all be analyzed as they are shown in fictional and documentary films from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru and México. Based on the notion that cultural objects give visibility to and participate in social debates, this course looks at films not as mere representations of an alleged exterior reality but as part of the public conversation and, as such, in relation to other social, political, and artistic discursivities. Thus, this course aims to trigger discussions that help understand how films have the potentiality to shape our understanding and, even, change social imaginaries regarding these charged topics.
Class participation and discussion are essential in this course. Students must come to class prepared, having previously read and analyzed the texts.		https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wuya8aY9ElZQoi3lMqo_JUqjHqV7RBBF/view?usp=sharing

Course videoDuring the last decades, especially in the new millennium, our planet has sent clear signals that we are facing an unprecedented ecological crisis. Humanity has become increasingly aware of the threats it faces, and of its responsibility as an agent causing them. The term Anthropocene has been one of the most successful attempts to define the phenomenon. In creating this concept in 2000, the chemist Paul Crutzen sought to underline the global impact that human activities have had on terrestrial ecosystems; a force capable of producing a climate change as great and unpredictable in its consequences as the glaciations of the Ice Age.
The responses offered so far from the political and business universe have been limited and unimaginative. "The ruling classes have abandoned their ambition to lead the world," says Bruno Latour, "and have rather sought refuge." In this scenario, the artistic and literary imagination plays a determining role in the task of conceiving other possible ways of living together, in a different and sustainable relationship with other species.
This course studies the ways in which art and literature have participated in the struggles and debates of the last decades around the ecological crisis and the challenges of sustainability in Latin America. From an eco-critical perspective, we start from the premise that art and literature not only "show" or "tell" previously existing social processes, but fundamentally have the capacity to modify the horizon of the possible, thus opening the world to new realities to come. The course has a participatory approach, students should come to class prepared, having previously read and analyzed the texts, in order to be able to participate actively. We will focus on the detailed analysis of the artworks, relating them both to their socio-historical context and to contemporary theoretical debates on ecology and sustainability. 		https://drive.google.com/file/d/15p5m6KPKK8PWCJKCdP45bRFLcLmzEdLN/view?usp=sharing

Course videoDuring the last decades, especially in the new millennium, our planet has sent clear signals that we are facing an unprecedented ecological crisis. Humanity has become increasingly aware of the threats it faces, and of its responsibility as an agent causing them. The term Anthropocene has been one of the most successful attempts to define the phenomenon. In creating this concept in 2000, the chemist Paul Crutzen sought to underline the global impact that human activities have had on terrestrial ecosystems; a force capable of producing a climate change as great and unpredictable in its consequences as the glaciations of the Ice Age. The responses offered so far from the political and business universe have been limited and unimaginative. ”The ruling classes have abandoned their ambition to lead the world,” says Bruno Latour, “and have rather sought refuge.”; In this scenario, the artistic and literary imagination plays a determining role in the task of conceiving other possible ways of living together, in a different and sustainable
relationship with other species.
This course studies the ways in which cinema, visual arts and literature have participated in the struggles and debates of the last decades around the ecological crisis and the challenges of environmental justice and sustainability in Latin America. From an eco-critical perspective, we start from the premise that art and literature not only “show” or “tell”; previously existing social processes, but fundamentally have the capacity to modify the horizon of the possible, thus opening the world to new realities to come.

Intercambio | International Programs9934Genocide and Human Rights in the 20th Century | Genocidio y Derechos Humanos en el Siglo XXElective1 & 24N/A687.5This course meets twice per week for 1 hour and 40 minutes each time.Mandatory attendance to at least 80% of the course.This course will examine the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust and the Human Rights violations that took place in Argentina and Chile during the nineteen seventies. The twentieth century was marred by genocide. During the First World War, the Ottoman Empire began a planned and systematic extermination of its Armenian population. This genocide, which is, to this day, denied by some and less widely known than similar events, has become an archetypal case study used by historians to understand the phenomenon of genocide. The impunity that followed the Armenian Genocide has been closely linked to the Holocaust that befell the Jewish people during the Nazi occupation of Europe during the Second World War. After the German defeat in 1945, the Nuremberg trials were held, but genocide and human rights violations continued elsewhere. In Latin America, military dictatorships committed serious crimes against humanity during the 1970s and 1980s. Argentina and Chile among other countries in Latin America experienced a wave of forced disappearances. Regrettably, the term “disappeared” (patterned after the Spanish-language word desaparecido) became known throughout the world. The specter of genocide returned during the 1970s in Cambodia and also during 1994 in Rwanda. The purpose of this course is to provide tools with which to analyze these historical cases from universal and comparative perspectives while describing both their genocidal destruction and the forms of resistance and survival undertaken by affected populations. Human rights education can provide the tools to stop the scourge of genocide in the twenty-first century.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RRq1xZNEqUmUzFarQ0059d3kqFCx0HHs/view?usp=sharing

First, it will study the construction of National Identity through the dichotomy between civilization and barbarism as formulated in 19th century. The literary Avant Garde of the 1920s in Buenos Aires will be examined in relation to modernity, immigration, policies, ethnicity, race, psychoanalysis, and tango. Next, the course will take on the political as well as the social dimensions of Populism, as the Peronist movement signals the inclusion of the masses into democratic life. It will analyze the effec ts of Mythology on the notion of nationalism. The course will move onto Neoliberalism and study the Argentine Dictatorship
and look into the “dirty war,” a problematic term used to describe the forced disappearance of political opponents during the last military dictatorship and the “clean war” in the Southern Atlantic conflict (1982) between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Through the figure of the scavenger, the course will focus on the 2001 Neoliberal crisis and analyze the implications of this crisis for the notion of "the people" (el pueblo). To conclude, the course will discuss the active role of the Feminist Movement Ni una menos today engaging with national and transnational fights. Can they be read as the new model for social change? 		https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zr3Mh_4YmxebpnEShDk4V5DgmE8BYLhU/view?usp=sharing

Intercambio | International Programs9881Latin American Political Economy | Economía Política de América LatinaElective24N/A687.5This course meets twice per week for 1 hour and 40 minutes each time.Mandatory attendance to at least 80% of the course.Since the last quarter of the XXth century Latin America has lived under the shadow of two parallel, sweeping (and often contradictory) processes: democratization and economic liberalization. These massive shifts have posed enormous challenges to established political actors such as electoral parties, as well as to economic actors. In this context, traditional stakeholders (protected industrial and agricultural business, populist parties and mainstream unions) often ceased to wield their old hegemony. At the same time, finance, certain natural resources-based businesses, indigenous and social movements, and the newly organized informal working classes, emerged as new key political players. The course explores these epochal transformations through the lens of comparative political economy, the i.e. the study of the political and social basis of general government socio-economic strategies, with special attention to the role played by business and popular actors in the policy sphere.

The Peronist governments and the years after the leader’s death until Menem, Duhalde, the Kirchner’s and the recent administration of Alberto Fernández are analyzed.

Moving beyond the dominant concept of Argentina as a white, immigrant-descended and Europeanized country, the course will delve into material expressions of culture to explore how racialized power is performed and asserted through cultural manifestations. Non-hegemonic groups have created meaning and significance to food, drink, clothing, music, art, and sports, shaping and re-defining the manner in which the national community is imagined and experienced. In a world where localized and traditional worldviews are threatened by globalization and the erasure of difference, this history course will show how culture becomes a site for power and resistance.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GhRYb7QvPmM4OfnAACpMZIeeBgxG-8Nq/view?usp=sharing
