ARBC 387 The One Thousand and One Nights 6 credits
This course is an exploration of the world of the Thousand and One Nights, the most renowned Arabic literary work of all time. The marvelous tales spun by Shahrazad have captured and excited the imagination of readers and listeners–both Arab and non-Arab–for centuries. In class, we will read in Arabic, selections from the Nights, and engage some of the scholarly debates surrounding this timeless work. We will discuss the question of its origin in folklore and popular culture and the mystery of its “authorship,” as well as the winding tale of its reception, adaptation and translation. Readings and class discussions will be in both Arabic and English.

CCST 230 Worlds of Jewish Memory 6 credits
Transmitting Jewish memory from one generation to the next has always been a treasured practice across the Jewish world. How have pivotal environments for Jews lived on in Jewish collective memory? How do they continue to speak through film, art, photography, music, architecture, museum/ memorial/ summer camp design, prayer, cuisine, and more? We'll compare dynamics of remembering and memorializing several Jewish worlds: ancient Egypt, medieval Spain, early modern Germany, pre- through post-Holocaust Europe and Russia, colonial into contemporary New York City, 1950s Algeria, and pre-State into contemporary Israel. Research projects can include family history explored through scholarship on cross-cultural memory.
CCST 230 is equivalent to MELA 230.

FREN 240 Imagining North Africa: Arabs, Berbers, and Beurs 6 credits
How have North African identities been represented in literature and film? How has the sustained presence of French language, and culture in the region shaped how North African authors and directors envision their relationship with their land, their languages, and their identities? This class is an introduction to literature and film from the Francophone Maghreb. Through careful and thoughtful analysis of canonical and contemporary sources, students will question how North African identities have evolved with and against French racial categories, and most importantly how they have transformed the aesthetics and politics of Francophone cultural productions.
