Tango, Samba, Salsa and Society: The history of Latin America through music and food
Description
In this historically based subject, the senses are engaged by using popular culture, in particular music and food, to explore political, economic, social and cultural themes in Latin American history. For example, Tango is employed to analyse Argentina, Samba to understand Brazil, and Son/Salsa to examine Cuba. The history of Latin Americans in the United States and U.S. foreign policy in Latin America are also investigated. We will especially look at the Cold War and then the globalisation of neo‐liberalism and culture in the 21st century culminating in the “Trump Era”.
Subject organised and delivered by Dr Ralph Newmark, former Director, Institute of Latin American Studies [ILAS] at La Trobe University and Honorary Fellow, Spanish & Latin American Studies Program, The University of Melbourne. Four sessions delivered face to face.
