  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: GRMN-262-01
  For centuries fairytales have served as powerful cultural currency, transmitting ideas about morality, gender, identity, nationalism, and childhood. Running the risk that it will ruin fairytales by vivisection, this course will approach the genre of German-language fairytales from a critical perspective, taking into account their historical context, psychological and philosophical interpretations, and how certain fairytales have changed over time into their contemporary iterations. Special attention will be paid to the fairytales collected by the Brothers Grimm, while also exploring their intersections with fairytales in other cultural and historical contexts. The goal of this course is for students to explore texts with whose content they may be familiar, in order to then gain a deeper understanding of their cultural, historical, and psychological dimensions.

  How many identities do you have? To what extent do you create your own identity? To what extent is identity imposed on you? This course draws upon four disciplines to explore personal identity, group dynamics, and systemic power structures. Our core readings will come from philosophy, psychology, literature, and biblical studies. We will supplement these readings with opinion pieces from the current press on issues of ethnic, racial, religious, and gender identity. Students will consider their own experience of how they "fit" into various social configurations, including family, clubs, and the larger American society. This course seeks to equip students with tools to explore their selves, achieve personal growth and self-knowledge, and better understand and take charge of their interaction with social and political forces.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person

  What does it mean to study an imperial language in a time of unfinished decolonization? What role have literature, cinema, and the arts played in anti-imperial struggles and liberation movements across the French-speaking world?

This course focuses on decolonial approaches to the French-language literatures and cultures of Africa and the Caribbean as well as their diasporas. It provides an introduction to the long, ongoing histories of French slavery, colonization, and their afterlives. Through literary texts, film, works of art, and historical documents, students will grapple with unresolved questions related to historical memory, colonial violence, and reparations.

  Prerequisite: C- or better in French 247, 248, 251 or 252 or permission of instructor.
  This class considers postcolonial Maghrebi literature as a space of political experimentation. Challenging dominant narratives and borders, Maghrebi artists project alternative imagined communities drawing on indigenous culture or connecting the multiple dimensions of a region located at the crossroad of Africa, the Arab World and the Mediterranean. More than mere representations, their works are powerful interventions on questions of decolonization, nation-building, and democracy. This class investigates how texts written in French are informed by Amazigh and Arabic languages. Students will read major works of Maghrebi literature and learn about recent scholarship rethinking the cultural history of the region. Authors may include Albert Memmi, Mouloud Mammeri, Abdelkébir Khatibi, Tahar Djaout, Youssef Amine Elalamy, Mustapha Benfodil, Ibrahim Al Koni, and Ahlem Mostaghenemi. Course conducted in French.
