Course Catalog Description:
An introductory survey of Modern Hebrew Literature and its journey from Eastern Europe through Ottoman/British Palestine to the State of Israel. The class centers on the manner in which Hebrew literature has envisioned the Middle East or "the Orient," reflecting, manipulating, or challenging orientalist paradigms. The first part of the course focuses on Hebrew literature written by Eastern European writers, their fantasies of the East as well as their engagements with orientalist or anti-Semite prejudices. The second part examines Hebrew literature's attempts to "nativize" in Palestine. Finally, we will read a series of texts by Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, and Palestinian Israeli writers that complicate any attempt to position Hebrew within an Orient/Occident dichotomy. No prior familiarity with Hebrew literature is necessary. All texts will be read in English.
