SPAN 7881 - Travelers and Frontiers in the Americas Effective Start Date: 10/20/2020 In this course we will study the American frontiers since the discovery of the continent. By reading theory, chronicles and diaries from different periods, we will be able to establish how the frontier, and the idea of frontier, changed over time and along with it the concept of “self identity” as wll as the concept of “the Other” beyond the frontier line. Obviously, travelers were the protagonists of the crossing of new frontiers.
