Cross-listed: History For nearly one
thousand years Yiddish was the primary language of European Jewry and its
emigrant communities. This class will explore the role of Yiddish in Jewish
life and the rich culture produced in the language. Topics will include the
sociolinguistic basis of Jewish vernacular languages; medieval popular
literature for a primarily female audience; the role of Yiddish in the spread
of Haskalah (the Jewish Enlightenment); attempts to
formulate a secular Jewish identity around the Yiddish language; the
flourishing of modern Yiddish press, literature, and theater and their
intersection with European modernism; contemporary Hasidic (ultra-Orthodox)
culture; and the ongoing debate over the alleged death of Yiddish. All readings
will be in English translation. Familiarity with the Hebrew
alphabet and/or Jewish history helpful but not required. Class size: 15
