Cross-listed: Middle Eastern Studies, Africana Studies Through a diverse collection of readings of poetic and prose works in translation by Arab women authors from the 7th century through the 21st centuries, in addition to film, lectures and discussion, we will pursue a broad-based understanding of the history of Arabic literature, including its formal developments, genres, and themes. We will also explore the politics of literary translation and the dissemination of “world” literatures: How do certain texts make it to Western readership? How does Orientalism and neo-Orientalism figure in the post-9/11 world? Also considered is the figure of Shahrazad and the “life” of the legendary figure from the Arabian Nights as she is portrayed in both Western and Arab literature, art, and film. Literary theory, gender studies, feminist theory, and literary historiography will inform the literature. Frequent written assignments and active class participation are required.  Class size: 22
