An NEH Summer Seminar for College
and University Teachers
Buenos
Aires, Argentina
July 7 - July 25,
2014
Under the direction of
David William Foster
Arizona State
University
The seminar will focus on five
major works of Argentine Jewish writers,
basically from the twentieth century. Through a detailed examination of these
works as literary texts that interpret the Jewish immigrant experience in Buenos Aires, the seminar will provide 16 participants
with an important grounding in Argentine urban immigrant culture. Participants
will be college and university professors
of Latin American studies, some of whom may have some familiarity with Argentina. There will also be places for two advanced
doctoral students. The participants will have the opportunity to deepen their
knowledge of Argentine literature, while other participants will receive a
solid introduction to Argentine Jewish culture through major
literary texts. The language of the seminar will be Spanish, and participants
must have an advanced command of the language for purposes of reading the
texts, discussing them, and preparing written essays. An important aspect of
the seminar will be several lunches a week with prominent Jewish artists,
intellectuals, and writers ("Almorzando con Buenos Aires Judío”).
