NELC 20411-20412-20413 /30411- 30412-30413: Medieval Jewish History I,II,III
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Consent of instructor. This sequence does not meet the general education requirement in civilization studies. This three-quarter sequence deals with the history of the Jews over a wide geographical and historical range. First-quarter work is concerned with the rise of early rabbinic Judaism and development of the Jewish communities in Palestine and the Eastern and Western diasporas during the first several centuries CE. Topics include the legal status of the Jews in the Roman world, the rise of rabbinic Judaism, the rabbinic literature of Palestine in that context, the spread of rabbinic Judaism, the rise and decline of competing centers of Jewish hegemony, the introduction of Hebrew language and culture beyond the confines of their original home, and the impact of the birth of Islam on the political and cultural status of the Jews. An attempt is made to evaluate the main characteristics of Jewish belief and social concepts in the formative periods of Judaism as it developed beyond its original geographical boundaries. Second-quarter work is concerned with the Jews under Islam, both in Eastern and Western Caliphates. Third-quarter work is concerned with the Jews of Western Europe from the eleventh through the fifteenth centuries. N. Golb. Autumn, Winter, Spring.

NELC 20414 /30414: Semitic Languages in the Ancient and Modern Middle East
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course looks at the attestations of Semitic, the development of the language family and its individual languages, the connection of language spread and political expansions with the development of empires and nation states (which can lead to the development of different language strata), the interplay of linguistic innovation and archaism in connection with innovative centers and peripheries, and the connection and development of language and writing.

NELC 20414-20415-20416 /30414- 30415-30416: Semitic Languages,Cultures,and Civilizations I,II,III
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
PQ: Not open to first-year students. Taking these courses in sequence is recommended but not required. This sequence meets the general education requirement in civilization studies. This sequence deals with the Semitic languages and peoples of the ancient and modern Middle East. Semitic languages include ancient languages (e.g., Akkadian, Biblical Hebrew, Classical Arabic, Phoenician, Classical Ethiopic) and modern languages (e.g., Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Aramaic). Concentrating on case studies from ancient Mesopotamia ( today's Iraq), the Syro-Palestinian corridor, and modern Middle Eastern states, we study continuity and changes in ancient and modern societies, the connections between writing and history, language, history and national identity, and literature and history. Although there is an overall chronological framework, the sequence is thematically oriented to analyze the way historical actors addressed political problems and historical situations. Through an interdisciplinary approach we reflect on the creation and cohesion of states, empires, modern nation states and national identities.

NELC 20415 /30415: Semitic Cultures and Civilizations in the Ancient Near East
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course explores various peoples of the ancient Near East from the third through the first millennium BC. The shared characteristic of those peoples is their use of Semitic languages. The focus is on major cultural traditions that later become of interest for the modern Middle East and for the Western world. This course provides a background to understand contemporary problems in a historical context. This includes a close examination and discussion of representative ancient sources, as well as readings in modern scholarship to help us think of interpretative frameworks and questions. Ancient sources include literary, historical, and legal documents. Texts in English. A. Seri. Winter.

NELC 20416 /30416: Modern Antiquities:Semitic Cultures,Languages,and History in the Modern Middle East
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The course studies how various groups in the Middle East imagined the ancient Semitic heritage of the region. We examine how Semitic languages (in particular, Arabic and Hebrew) came to be regarded as the national markers of the peoples of the Middle East. We likewise explore the ways in which archeologists, historians, novelists, and artists emphasized the connectivity between past and present, and the channels through which their new ideas were transmitted. The class thus highlights phenomena like nationalism, reform, and literary and print capitalism (in both Hebrew and Arabic) as experienced in the Middle East. O. Bashkin. Spring.
