MESA 3470

Language and Culture in the Middle East

Course Description

Pre-Requisite(s): previous coursework in Anthropology, Linguistics, or Middle East Studies

This course provides an introduction to the peoples, cultures, and histories of the Middle East through an examination of language-use. We focus on Israel/Palestine--and the contact between Hebrew and Arabic--as a microcosm for the region as a whole. Readings present ethnographic, linguistic, and literary perspectives on language, identity, and the general processes of SELF/OTHER constructions in contexts of political and military confrontation.
