ARABIC/WGSS 2702 - Gender and Citizenship in Modern Arabic Literature
This course explores modern Arabic literature from the 1960s to the present as a space where different understandings of gender and citizenship are analyzed and imagined.
Starting with debates about gender and citizenship in the early postcolonial period, we will discuss novels, short stories, and poetry by women writers that speak to different historical and national contexts, such as:
- Liberation from colonial powers
- The Lebanese Civil War
- Palestinian historical memory
- The legacies of slavery in the Gulf
We will complement these literary texts with both documentary and narrative film.
In each section of the class, we will consider how literary texts intervene in different conceptions of citizenship and justice.
- Professor: Johanna Sellman
- MW: 2:20 PM- 3:40 PM
- GE Theme: Citizenship for a diverse and just world
