It will survey changes in these concepts historically through reading a variety of sources-religious texts and commentaries, literary and political writings, books of advice, women's writings, and films-and will look at how contemporary thinkers and activists ground themselves differently in this historical heritage to constitute contesting positions regarding gender and national politics today.

CULTR BLF 42: Communism and the Politics of Culture: Czechoslovakia from the Prague Spring to the Velvet Revolution

Examines how the intense political pressures of invasion, occupation, and revolution shape a country's intellectual life and are shaped by it in turn, looking at Czechoslovakia's literature, drama, film, and music from the 1948 Communist takeover, through the Prague Spring and Soviet invasion of 1968, to the 1989 Velvet Revolution, a hallmark of the peaceful overthrow of Communism in Central Europe. We consider works by Milan Kundera, Bohumil Hrabal, Vaclav Havel; films by Milos Forman, Vera Chytilova, Jiri Menzel; theories of political dissident and the "anti-politics" of Charter 77; and questions of historical memory in contemporary Prague.

CULTR BLF 43: The World of Yiddish
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Explores the culture and way of life of what was, before World War II, the largest Jewish community in the world, whose descendants still constitute the majority of American Jews. Its common language, Yiddish, spread with its speakers from Western to Eastern Europe from the 14th century onward. Through interdisciplinary approach, including history, literature, music, popular culture, course examines Yiddish as vehicle of Jewish tradition and modernization. Often associated with humor, its speakers were main victims of Hitler's Final Solution. We will try to identify paradoxical features of Yiddish culture that may account for its exceptional fate.

CULTR BLF 44: The Cradle of History: Ancient Historians and their Afterlives
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
2500 years ago a Greek writer chose the word "history" to characterize his account of the Persian Wars. Why? We still use the word today; but what does it mean to us, and how has that meaning developed from the works of our western forebears? This course offers a lively introduction to the ancient historians' works, lives, and afterlives with particular attention to the nature of historical truth, changing ideas of history in their cultural contexts, the role and relevance of history in ancient and modern life, and the cultural legacy of the Greek and Roman world. Readings from Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Tacitus, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Nietzsche.
