Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course deals with the formation of borders between the Central American states and Mexico during the 19th and 20th centuries. Considering that until today there are several notions to demarcate a border between various nation-states, the course will elaborate concepts such as territory or frontier in their the political, ethnic, social and cultural perspectives. The seminar will be structured in the context of the 4th Cátedra Friedrich Katz which is going to be held at the University of Vienna from October 18 to 19, 2018. It is recommended that students participate at the conference. See: 070327 VO Vorlesung Vertiefung 2 (2018W): Walking Through Walls, Transgressing Frontiers Border Regimes and Phantom Borders in North America and Central Europe since 1848.
Assessment and permitted materials
By applying a guided research method, the students will work on scientific texts in the context of the central topic of the course. Students must participate actively in the plenary discussions to comply with the development of the final project. In addition, a high level of self-initiative, independent as well as collective work in a group is required.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The class requires a good level in Spanish and English (written, oral and auditory). The evaluation of the students will be done through their presence and participation in the class as well as the results of their final work.
Examination topics
Students will develop their ability to edit and review different scientific texts with the final goal of publishing them. This requires: 1) strengthening their proofreading, 2) present in front of the class, and 3) develop the final project within the framework of the group.
