| Description | Daily Life in the Levant: oral history, ethnography, literature: This course asks what "daily life" has meant and means across the Levant today. Centering work by diverse Middle Eastern scholars, we will engage: accounts of village and urban life at key moments in the 19th and 20th centuries; oral histories of struggles for independence and nation-building; and ethnographic studies of traditional crafts, ecology, cuisine, and identity in the past and today, as well as contemporary literature. Members will collaborate on an ongoing 'glossary' project and will also propose and carry out independent studies of their own, which they will then present to the class. Keywords: Levant, Middle East, anthropology, ethnography, film. This course addresses issues of race and power. Keywords: Middle East, Southwest Asia, Levant, colonialism, anthropology, literature. |
