Course Catalog Description:

Class Notes:
Diasporic Legacies in the Mediterranean Description- The history of the Mediterranean is defined by migrations, displacements, and conquests. In this class we will explore the nature of diaspora with a focus on premodern Iberia, but also in comparison with other notable diasporic peoples and places, exploring the role that the notion of a "homeland" has for people in diaspora, as well as the roles that memory, language, religion and ethnicity play in diaspora. In the case of premodern Iberia, the expulsion of the Jews and of the Moriscos are the preeminent events producing diasporic communities across the Mediterranean, Western Europe and the Americas. We will read classic studies on diaspora, recent studies on Sephardic diasporic culture and Morisco and Indigenous postcolonial studies, as well as primary texts from premodern Iberia and the diasporic communities of the Mediterranean. According to student areas of interest, we will also explore how the Iberian examples compare to other diasporic communities and their legacies. This class will also be held in conjunction with the spring UC Mediterranean Symposium on the topic of Diasporic Legacies, which will feature talks and workshops with Eric Calderwood and Julia Cohen (April 27 & 28, 2023).
Class Description:
The major literary genres developed in Spain from the Reconquest to 1502, with reference to the crucial transformations of the Middle Ages, including primitive lyric, epic, clerical narrative, storytelling, debates, collections, chronicles, "exempla," and the Celestina (1499-1502). We will read some of the major works in Castilian from the medieval period, pausing along the way to consider some less well known texts. Along with the historical and social contexts of these works (especially those involving the fraught interactions between Christians, Muslims, Jews and converts), the course will also emphasize a variety of critical approaches that help discover meanings that go beyond historical periodization. One such interpretive model, for example, will take into account economic transactions and obligations in order to explore the ethics of interpersonal, intercultural and interfaith relations. Readings will include: Poema de Mio Cid. Ed. Colin Smith. Madrid: Catedra, 1998. .Don Juan Manuel. El Conde Lucanor. Ed. Alfonso I. Sotelo. Madrid: Catedra, 1989. Juan Ruiz, Arcipreste de Hita, Libro de buen amor. Ed. de Alberto Blecua. Catedra, Madrid, 1992 Fernando de Rojas, La Celestina. Ed. Dorothy S. Severin. Catedra, Madrid, 1994. El romancero. Ed. Paloma Diaz Mas. Critica: Barcelona, 2006. Diego de San Pedro, Obras completas, II: Carcel de Amor. Ed. Keith Whinnom. Castalia, Madrid, 1971.
