ModuleLearningAims Theaimsofthismoduleare:• To broaden the knowledge of a vast region such as LatinAmericathroughspecificnationalcasestudiesfocusingontheunifying theme of cultural production and conflict in the

region.• To consider the relevance of theatre and performance associal practices and sites of cultural resistance in times ofconflictinLatinAmerica.• To enable students to analyse dramatic, theatrical andcultural production at the intersection of history, law, andpolitics in modern Latin America through a representativeselection of texts that show the relevance and potentialimpactofliteraryandculturalproductionforsocialchange.

ModuleContent Thismodulewillengagewithpracticalandtheoreticalquestionsof

theatre and performance as social practices. By focusing onvarious theatrical outputs and their reception, paying particularattention to history, politics, national identity, justice andcollective memory, this module will showcase the importanceplayed by theatre practitioners, performers and playwrights inLatin American in terms of validating stories from subalterngroups, including indigenous communities, in relation to power.The Peruvian theatre ensemble Grupo Cultural Yuyachkani, forexample,hasplayedakeyroleinthisrespect.ItaccompaniedtheTruth and Reconciliation Commission in the Andes after thePeruvianDirtyWar(1980-2000),awarwhichclaimedthelivesofsome 70,000 people (most of them in Ayacucho) and led to thesterilisation of some 300,000 quechua speaking poor women,whileEnriqueBuenaventuraandtheTEC[TeatroExperimentaldeCali], continued by Jacqueline Vidal, in Colombia, have beenpioneersincollectiveeffortsbringingattentiontoviolenceandthepeace efforts in the region. The module will explore theatreproduction at the intersection of history, human rights, law andpolitics in Latin America, and the relevance of the arts inchallenging power structures and revisiting official histories associal constructs that can be (re)written through politicalaesthetics and artivism to subvert hegemonic narratives. At thesame time, the module will also establish links throughcomparative and transnational representations of conflict, e.g.ArgentineanrepresentationsofPeruvianauthor JoséWatanabe'sversion ofAntigone. In this light,wewill also explore theGreekclassicsandcontemporaryreworkingstochallengethestatusquo,forexampleinthecaseofElectrabyCubanauthorVirgilioPiñeraandtheratherubiquitousAntigoneintheatrepractice,translatingexperiencesintoaestheticexpressions.Themodulewillfocusonaselection of key modern texts, theatre groups, playwrights andperformers from a range of Latin American countries, includingArgentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, andMexicoto examine critically specific cultural industries, intermedialengagement, and their place in popular culture.

50-59 II.II (Lower Second) 0-29 F2 (Fail)

First (excellent):

Written work will demonstrate consistent evidence of: an excellent understanding of appropriate texts and up-

to-date scholarship/criticism/theory; highly skillful deployment of relevant information in an extremely well

crafted structure; arguments that manifest independent/original thought; critical evaluative ability with a keen

awareness of key issues; exemplary use of accepted scholarly conventions relating to the attribution of

sources, footnoting, and bibliography; an exceptional ability to express ideas in written English.

Upper Second (very good):

Written work will show consistent evidence of: an extremely competent understanding of appropriate texts

and scholarship/criticism/theory; a notable ability to present relevant information in a clear and well thought

out structure; arguments that show a very good degree of independent evaluative thought; competent use of

accepted scholarly conventions relating to the attribution of sources, footnoting, and bibliography; an

extremely good command of written English.

Lower Second (good):

Written work will give consistent evidence of: a competent understanding of relevant texts and

scholarship/criticism/theory; engagement with the question being asked; attempts to go beyond the

secondary bibliography; good overall organization of ideas; proper use of scholarly conventions relating to

the integration and attribution of sources, footnoting, and bibliography; a good command of written

English, with accuracy in grammar and spelling, and an appropriately academic lexical range.

Third (acceptable):

Written work will normally give evidence of: competence in relation to relevant texts and

scholarship/criticism/theory; an approach to the question being asked which is not merely

superficial/derivative/uncritical; no more than a minor tendency to repetition and description; awareness of

scholarly conventions concerning the proper integration and attribution of sources, footnoting, and

bibliography; appropriate grammar, spelling, and lexical range.

Fail I (not acceptable):

Written work in the F1 range will normally show only a superficial knowledge of the topic and/or fail to

display acceptable competence in constructing an answer to the question posed; it will be disjointed and

derivative, with an unclear structure; it will show difficulty in following its own arguments. Even work which

otherwise reveals basic competence may fall into the F1 category for the following deficiencies: lack of in-

depth engagement with the texts; failure to observe the scholarly conventions concerning the proper

65

integration and attribution of sources, footnoting, and bibliography; an accumulation of errors in

grammar/spelling/vocabulary.

Fail II (inadequate):

Written work in the F2 range will reveal an inadequate knowledge of the topic, and/or an inability to display

basic competence in constructing an answer to the question posed. Such work is also most likely to give more

serious evidence of the weaknesses noted under F1.

PLAGIARISM

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

Plagiarism is taking the work of another and presenting it and claiming it as your own either intentionally or unintentionally.

According to Neville (2000, p. 30) there are three main forms of plagiarism:

1. Copying another person’s work, including the work of another student (with or without consent), and claiming or pretending it to be your own.

2. Presenting arguments that use a blend of your own and a significant percentage of copied works of the original author without acknowledging the source

3. Paraphrasing another’s person work, but not giving due acknowledgement to the original writer or organization publishing the writing, including Internet sites. The exceptions to this would be in relation to common knowledge.

REMEMBER:

Copying and pasting from numerous sources and moving them around to make a complete assignment is another form of

plagiarism.

VERY IMPORTANT

To ensure that you have a clear understanding of what plagiarism is, how Trinity deals with cases of plagiarism, and how to

avoid it, you will find a repository of information at: http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/

We ask you to take the following steps:

(a) Visit the online resources to inform yourself about how Trinity deals with plagiarism and how you can avoid it at

http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/. You should also familiarize yourself with the 2015-2016 Calendar entry on

plagiarism located on this website and the sanctions which are applied;

(b) Complete the ‘Ready, Steady, Write’ online tutorial on plagiarism at http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/ready-steady-

write/. Completing the tutorial is compulsory for all students.

(c) Familiarize yourself with the declaration that you will be asked to sign when submitting course work at http://tcd-

ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/declaration/

66

Text of Declaration

Each coversheet that is attached to submitted work should contain the following completed declaration:

I have read and I understand the plagiarism provisions in the General Regulations of the University Calendar for

the current year, found at http://www.tcd.ie/calendar/

I have also completed the Online Tutorial on avoiding plagiarism ‘Ready Steady Write’, located at http://tcd-

ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/ready-steady-write/

(d) Contact your College Tutor, your Head of Department, or your Lecturer if you are unsure about any aspect

of plagiarism.

Plagiarism is viewed by Trinity as academic fraud and an offence against University discipline. The University

considers plagiarism to be a major offence, and subject to the disciplinary procedures of the University.

All students must read the part of the University of Dublin Calendar on plagiarism that applies to them; every

coversheet that is attached to submitted work has a declaration that must be completed, confirming this.

IMPORTANT: You must read the following section on Plagiarism

Matrix of Levels & Consequences

The University of Dublin Calendar refers to various levels of plagiarism. What constitutes plagiarism at a

particular level, and the consequences of being found to have committed plagiarism at that level, are detailed

below.

Nothing provided for under the summary procedure diminishes or prejudices the disciplinary powers of the

Junior Dean under the 2010 Consolidated Statutes.

Range of Penalties Characteristics of Offence

Level 1

You receive an informal verbal warning from the

Director of Undergraduate Teaching and

Learning/Postgraduate Teaching and Learning.

You have little

previous exposure to

the norms and

conventions of

different types of

academic work

(essays, reports, group

or individual projects,

dissertations,

presentations, etc.) or

you bring different

cultural assumptions to

your work.

Students at

postgraduate level can

reasonably be

assumed to be familiar

with rules in respect of

plagiarism, therefore

any plagiarism

occurring in the

context of any

postgraduate work

cannot normally be

deemed to constitute

Level 1 plagiarism.

The piece of work in question is inadmissible. You are

required to rephrase and reference correctly all

plagiarised elements. Other content should not be

altered. The resubmitted work will be assessed and

marked without penalty.

Your work*

demonstrates one or

more of the following:

• Pooruseand/orunderstandingofreferencingconventions,includinghowtopresentdirectquotations;

• Poorparaphrasingskills;

• Lackofrecognitionoftheboundarybetweenmaterialinthepublicdomainwhichdoesnotrequireacknowledgementandthatwhichdoes;

• Poorunderstandingthatborrowingthelanguageofanotherauthorforstylisticpurposesconstitutesplagiarism.

Level 1 Plagiarism is not deemed to be academic

misconduct.

Generally, only small

amounts of material

(text, graph, computer

code, images, etc.) are

unacknowledged. If

more substantial

amounts are involved,

the offence should be

classified as Level 2 or

3 plagiarism.

Level 2

You receive a formal written warning from the Head of

School.

Level 2 Plagiarism

occurs when you

should have been

aware of what

constitutes plagiarism.

The piece of work in question is inadmissible. You are

required to rephrase and reference correctly all

The piece of work in question is inadmissible. There is

no opportunity for resubmission with corrections. The

student is required to submit a new piece of work as a

supplemental assessment during the next available

session. Provided the work is of passing standard, the

assessment mark and the module mark will be capped

at the pass mark. Discretion lies with the Senior

Lecturer/Dean of Undergraduate Studies and the Dean

of Graduate Studies (as appropriate) in cases where

Level 4 Case referred to the Junior Dean for disciplinary

procedures.

Level 4 plagiarism

cannot normally be

dealt with under

summary procedures

(Levels 1-3 above).

For example,

plagiarism in the

context of

postgraduate theses or

dissertations will

always be categorised

as Level 4. The

plagiarism.

All students must read the part of the University of Dublin Calendar on plagiarism that applies to them; every

coversheet that is attached to submitted work has a declaration that must be completed,

confirming this.
