JWST 366 - Love and Death: Jewish Literature and Culture of the Americas LxC

HC ARHU CD
2 credits
The iconic arrival at Ellis Island was contemporaneous with mass Jewish immigration throughout the Americas. Framing Jewish literature in a multilingual, pan-American context, we will study the deep specificity of texts as well as major themes: alienation, sport, philosophy, comedy and love. Authors include Lispector, Pizarnik, Borges, Dropkin, Moscona, Roth, and more. This will be a multi-lingual LxC discussion section, looking at texts from the main course in the original languages together with facing English translation in Spanish, Portuguese, Yiddish and Ladino. Only for students concurrently enrolled in HISP 365, CMPL 365, or JWST 365.
This course is cross-listed with HISP 366, CMPL 366
