08F: 10Aâ09F: 2A This course is an introduction to the study of modern Arabic literature through readings and discussion of key texts in prose and poetry from the 19th and 20th centuries. Each offerÂing of the course will be organized around a particular author, genre, theme, or period. TopÂics may include, inter alia, the question of tradition and modernity, the construction of an Arab national identity, the colonial encounter, post-coloniality, and the status of women in Arab society. The course is conducted entirely in English. May be repeated for credit if topic varies. Courses listed under Arabic 61 are open to students of all classes. In 08F, The Arab-Israeli Conflict in Middle Eastern Literature and Film (Identical to Jewish Studies 56 and Comparative Literature 64). In this course, we examine the Arab-Israeli conflict as portrayed in both Arabic/Palestinian and Hebrew/Israeli literary traditionsâpoetry, short stories, novels, novellas, literary essays and personal accountsâand film, looking at how adversaries portray each other, how mutual stereotypes are created and reinforced, or broken down as the case may be, and how the conflict has shaped the development of these respective literary and filmic traditions in substantially different ways. Complementing courses which examine the Arab-Israeli conflict through political and historical lenses and approaches, this course offers the unique perspective of examining the conflict through the literature produced by parties to the conflict. Readings will include works by Emile Habiby, Ghassan Kanafani, Sahar Khalifeh, Amos Oz, Khalil Sakakini, A.B. Yehoshua, S. Yizhar, etc. as well as a selection of Palestinian and Israeli films pertaining to the conflict. Dist: INT; WCult: CI. Bardenstein. In 09F, Modern Arabic Fiction. This course is an introduction to twentieth century fiction across the Arab world. Looking at works from North Africa to the Middle East, we will examine how Arab writers and filmmakers have dealt with such themes as nationalism, immigration, freedom, sexuality, war, violence, and religion. Authors include Tayyib Salih, Mohamed Choukri, Ghassan Kanafani, Tahar Wattar, and Hanah al-Shaykh, among others. No knowledge of Arabic is required. Dist: LIT; WCult: NW. Smolin. 62.

09W: 12â10S: 2A Arabic literature is widely regarded as the foremost intellectual and artistic accomplishÂment of the Arabs. In the course of over fourteen centuries of vigorous literary activity, Arab poets and writers have elaborated a set of themes which inform Arabo-Islamic culture in profound ways. Offerings of this course might range from the examination of a particular theme to broader comparative studies. The course is conducted entirely in English. May be repeated for credit if topic varies. Courses listed under Arabic 63 are open to students of all classes and, unless otherwise noted, will satisfy the following General Education requireÂments: Dist: LIT; WCult: NW. In 09W, Society, Culture, and Gender in the Middle East . This course will examine the ways in which society, culture, and gender intersect and give shape to various institutions and ideologies in the Arab Middle East. The role of women in Islamic and Middle Eastern society will be looked at in historical perspective, and will serve as the primary lens through which Middle Eastern society, aspects of its culture, and the constructions of gender will be explored. We will examine topics such as family, marriage and divorce, sexuality, coloÂnialism, and nationalism through a variety of historical and literary texts and visual media. The course will be taught in English in its entirety. Familiarity with Middle Eastern history or Islam is helpful, but not required. Dist: LIT; WCult: NW. Abouali.

08F: 11, 12, 9Sâ09F: 9S, 11, 2 This course is designed for students with varying, minimal levels of competence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Weekly class hours include four or five fifty-minute sessions with the master teacher and up to four fifty-minute drill and/or conversation sessions. There are weekly exams, a midterm, and a final, as well as writing assignments, oral presentations, and supplementary work assigned as needed. This course is intended to achieve two goals: 1) to help students equalize their levÂels of the required speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills; 2) to allow them to raise these levels and thereby significantly increase their understanding of Modern Standard ChiÂnese. Chinese 4 is an accelerated first-year course. Satisfactory completion of Chinese 4, except when taken under the Non-Recording Option, places the student into the 20-level series. Students who plan to use this course to fulfill the language requirement may not take it under the Non-Recording Option. Never serves in partial satisfaction of Distributive or World Culture requirements. A. Li, Xing, staff. 10. Introduction to Chinese Culture (Identical to AMES 12)
