  In this course, students will engage critically with the Japanese culture.

Davies and Osamu Ikeno's The Japanese Mind: Understanding Contemporary Japanese Culture. Students are expected to think about these aspects and elements, watching animation films and reading short stories. Most importantly, however, students are required to analyze the Japanese works from a critical perspective and to write "argumentative essays" on them. By close-reading the texts (both films and literary works), students will develop sensitivities toward what flows underneath cultural representations The coursework includes multiple drafts of term papers.

  Embark on a journey to the most extreme corners of the Earth. This course dives into the history, fictions, and archives of the Polar South. Along legendary expeditions to Antarctica like that of Ernest Shackleton and Roald Amundsen, we will cast light on the overlooked Latin American initiatives to explore and lay sovereign claims on these “faraway” lands, which -paradoxically- lie right next to South America. Through a wealth of historical accounts, digital collections, and geographical society proceedings, we will engage with hands-on research methods in environmental Humanities, paying close attention to literary and visual narratives from the early twentieth century, a time when Antartica was only starting to be mapped. Topics covered include the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, the evolution of polar travel technology, extractivism and the whaling industry, ethnography, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding the desire for human settlement in a unique continent with no Indigenous population.
