These debates have taken on increasing importance in light of the so-called "resurgence of religion," apparent in the salience of religious argumentation and practice within contemporary politics, within national and transnational religious movements, and within emergent forms of ethical sociability and self-fashioning. anthro Fall 2007 Anthropology 162 1 Shared Narratives and Divided Imagination in Israel 4 Hasan-Rokem, Galit 100% MES 130 TuTh 3:30-5 101 Wurster Yes In this course we shall investigate the cultural relationship between Hebrew and Arabic on one hand and Jewish and Palestinian on the other hand, in the context of Israeli culture. We shall focus especially on the cultural expressions in which these generally conceived dichotomies become destabilized or even collapse. We shall thus look at the Hebrew cultural production of Arabs, and Arabic cultural production of Jews. Texts, both literary, folk narrative, and scholarly, Jewish, Moslem, Christian, Hebrew and Arabic, will be discussed to study the complexities, absurdities, pain and richness of the cultural production created by Israelis and Palestinians in various combinations, interfaces, oppositions and hierarchies. The readings will include some texts from the Palestinian culture of the Occupied Territories, since the long time entanglement and interaction between the Palestinians under Israeli occupation and the Israelis Jews and Palestinians constitutes a central arena of the interface under investigation. Some ancient and medieval examples will be presented suggesting various layers of cultural memory that materialize in the present, such as the cultures of the Holy Land in different periods, and the Arab-Jewish co-existence in Andalusia. The readings include literary texts, films, as well as examples from cultural interpretations and analyses from a variety of perspectives. anthro Fall 2007 Anthropology 189 1 Comparative Responses to Disasters 4 Ferme, Mariane 25% TuTh 11-12:30 136 Barrows Yes anthro Fall 2007 Anthropology 250X.1 1 Special Topics in Cultural Anthropology: "Writing Ethnographies" 4 Nader, Laura 25% M 10-12 180 Barrows Yes anthro Fall 2007 Anthropology 250X.10 10 Special Topics in Cultural Anthropology: "Modernity & Traditions of Difference: The Case of the Middle East & South Asia" 4 Mahmood, Saba 50% Tu 4-6 121 Latimer Yes anthro Fall 2007 Anthropology 250X.3 2 Special Topics in Cultural Anthropology: "Folklore of Dislocation" 4 Hasan-Rokem, Galit 50% W 2-4 186 Barrows Yes anthro Fall 2007 Anthropology 250X.5 10 Special Topics in Cultural Anthropology: "Reason & Religions" 4 Lui, Xin 15% F 2-4 14 2224 Piedmont Yes This seminar will explore the rise of the modern ideology and its reaction to religious practices, past and present.

Jokes and comedies frequently depict a society and its norms through the "bird's-eye view" of "the stranger" (Georg Simmel). Our focus will be on enactments of ethnic and national identities in multilingual environments. Such representations constitute a stage where communities are forged performatively – and often controversially – through strategies of inclusion and exclusion. Following the work of major theorists of humor, jokes, pastiche, parody, satire, and carnival (including Henri Bergson, Sigmund Freud, Mikhail Bakhtin, Mary Douglas, and Richard Dyer), we shall analyze how revolution and control, anarchy and containment, aggression and laughter are closely interrelated in comic acts. Questions of audience and spectatorship will be addressed in relation to jokes and caricatures that verge on the border to offensive stereotyping and hate speech. Special attention will be devoted to mockumentaries such as Mondo Cane (1961), Zelig (1983), Incident at Loch Ness (2004), and Borat (2006), which provoke us to rethink genre conventions of travelogues, ethnographic documentaries, or biopics. Our discussion of spectatorship can also be extended to television material such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, as well as videos circulating on the internet through YouTube or Google Video. The seminar will be based on participants' research interests and the final selection of materials will be determined collaboratively. french Fall 2007 French 103A 1 Language & Culture: "The Poetry of Everyday Life" 4 Tlatli, Soraya 25% TuTh 11-12:30 233 Dwinelle Yes "L'ecrivain dans l'epreuve de la colonisation" french Fall 2007 French 151B 1 Francophone Literature 4 Tlatli, Soraya 33% TuTh 2-3:30 235 Dwinelle Yes A study of Francophone literature: traditional and French influences, structure, relationship between language and message. womenst Fall 2007 Gender and Women's Studies 111 1 Women in the Muslim & Arab Worlds 4 Moallem, Minoo 100% TuTh 2-3:30 88 Dwinelle Yes Examines differences  and similarities in women's lives in the Muslim/Arab world, including diasporas in Europe and North America.  Analysis of issues of gender in relation to 'race', ethnicity, nation, religion and culture. geog Fall 2007 Geography C32 1 Introduction to Development 4 Watts, Michael 25% DS 10 TuTh 12:30-2 2060 VLSB Yes This course is designed as an introduction to comparative development.
