| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2447 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: In this class we read landscapes as archives of violence in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands, and think about how gendered understandings of nature, receptivity, labor, and space shape our perception of the home, the desert, the fence or wall, and the Rio Grande. Students will gain familiarity with the tools of archival research as we look at historical records associated with lynchings in the Southwest in the late 19th and early 20th century, and with femicide in Northern Mexico in the late 20th century as well as histories of mining and environmental pollution in these places. We will read and watch the work of artists, filmmakers and poets who have re-interpreted landscapes of the desert and of border cities in light of these histories of violence. Students will conduct a creative investigation of a borderlands landscape, drawing on archival media and historical records.
