Course Description:
The course provides a window into Arab public spheres before and after the
Arab spring and illuminates how language and culture are interrelated in the
Arab Middle East. It explores the diversity of human experience by
examining various literary, cultural and political productions, and in
particular work by and about youth and women. Students will study a rich
tapestry of textual, visual, and oral materials including novels, poetry,
(social) media, blogs, music, films and graffiti art. Through these different
genres, students will explore themes such as postcolonial legacies, political
struggle and nationalism, Arab encounters with the West, and gender and the
quest for identity. Course conducted in English, and no prior knowledge of
Arabic is required. |
