JSTU-C 240: CONTEMPORARY ISRAELI CULTURE (3 credits)

About

Through literature and other media (essay, film, music), this course examines a number of Israeli cultural, social, and political phenomena: the Holocaust in the Israeli imagination, labor and the Israeli body, Jewish ethnicity, the Israeli Arab, and the creation of new national holidays. Students develop methods of "reading" these artifacts of Israeli culture with the help of approaches from the fields of literary and cultural studies.
