MEST 135 Imagining Arab Worlds 6 credits
In this course we will study representations of the environments and landscapes of the modern Arab world, with particular focus upon five distinct but connected types of places– city, country, mountain, desert, and sea– and their entanglement with various myths of nationhood and peoplehood. Through study of Arab fiction and film and in conversation with history, spatial theory, and ecocriticism, we will think about how environment has shaped those societies, and how members of those societies have made claims of their own about and upon their surroundings.
In translation, no Arabic required. All course readings will be in English.
