This course will offer students a wide-ranging introduction to North African culture, placing particular emphasis on the region’s cultural and historic ties to Europe and the Middle East. Some of the topics covered will include: European colonialism and its legacies in North Africa; language use and linguistic identities; ethnic and racial categories; gender and sexuality; religious identities; North African diaspora communities in Europe; and the movement of peoples between North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, from the medieval period to the present. To address these topics, the course syllabus will include a diverse array of cultural texts, including literature, film, music, architecture, and visual arts, as well as scholarship on North Africa from many disciplinary perspectives (such as literary and cultural studies, history, anthropology, and area studies). All primary sources will be taught in English translation, but students will be encouraged to engage with sources in their original languages (including Arabic, French, Spanish, Catalan, Moroccan Colloquial Arabic, and Amazigh). The course will have two sections, which will meet jointly: a section for graduate students (4 credits) and a section for undergraduate students (3 credits). The two sections will have the same reading assignments but will have different writing assignments. This section is open to both undergraduate and graduate students for 3 hrs of credit.
