| This course will examine the development of Jewish-American literature within the context of the American literary tradition, of the history of the Jews in the United States, and of the problematics of identity (ethnicity, religion, race, and class). We will be focusing on various aspects of memory and textuality, first in relation to the experience of immigration and then with regard to post-holocaust consciousness, home and exile, and multiculturalism in America. Among issues that will be studied are canon, genre, voice and speech representation, translation and translatability, intertextuality, and the ethics and poetics of post-holocaust literature.
The readings consist of short stories, poems, essays, novels, and autobiographical writing. The book-length works available at the Dionon will be: Jewish American Literature: A Norton Anthology (a few of these will also be on reserve at Weiner) The Cambridge Companion to Jewish American Literature The other works to be purchased will be announced later in the summer. Evaluation Students will be expected to attend regularly (no more than three absences), to participate in class discussion, present a referat in class, prepare a seminar paper proposal and annotated bibliography, and submit a seminar paper. There may be occasional short writing assignments. | |
