And by appt. History 281a: Mexican Cultural History: Ancient and Colonial. Course Description History 281a provides an introduction to Mexican cultural history from antiquity through the colonial centuries. It does so through an interdisciplinary historical method drawing upon archaeology, art history, anthropology, literary studies and recent historical scholarship. The goal of the course is to trace and analyze human experience in the geographic space that would become Mexico in the early 19th century, from the origins of human settlement and the domestication of maize until the end of Spanish colonial rule. Particular attention will be paid to elite and popular understandings and forms of expression as recorded in visual culture, material objects and the writings of the colonial era. Recommended Reading The following reading is recommended, rather than required. Students are encouraged to consult this source whenever they need basic information about virtually any aspect of Mexican history, society and culture.

Course Evaluations, Review For Final Exam, Summary and Conclusion. Course Assignments There are five course requirements: class participation; two 6-8 pg. papers, an in-class mid-term exam; and a comprehensive final exam. They are weighted towards the final grade as follows: class participation 10 points; two 6-8 pg. papers 20 pts. each, 40 pts. total; mid-term exam 20 pts.; comprehensive final exam 30 pts.; total possible points for course=100 pts. All grades will be given according to the Haverford grading scale (i.e., 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.3, 2.0, 1.7, 1.3, 1.0, 0.0) and as a point value towards the final grade. Thus, an exceptional student might receive a 4.0/20 pts. on her first paper, etc. Class participation means contributing your presence, thoughts and voice to class meetings. To participate effectively requires that one keep up with readings and lectures, think about the issues posed by the materials of the week, and discuss the readings, lectures, films and documents. The two papers, each about 1500-2000 words (6-8 pages), do not entail extra reading or research, but rather a careful and critical analysis of assigned material. Students are required to submit hard copies of their papers, i.e. typed or computer printed. It is the students responsibility to make a copy of their papers in case they are lost or misplaced. I strongly recommend making a hard copy for yourselves as well as for the instructor, rather than courting software disasters. The comprehensive final exam will cover materials from the entire semester. It will consist of an identification section, a long essay question covering the entire semester and a shorter essay question covering the materials from the mid-term to the final exam. The long essay question will be handed out on the final day of class. Students may bring in one page of notes (one side of an 8 1/2 by 11 inch piece of paper, any size font) to assist them with the final exam.
