MEIS-UA 718: Introduction to Ancient Indian Literature
4.00 Credits
New York University
An introductory course designed to acquaint students with the great works of the ancient Indian literary tradition, a major part of which was written in Sanskrit.

This rich and vast literary, religious, and philosophical heritage is introduced in this course. In addition, students work with excerpts from the Jain and Buddhist canons written in Prakrits and examples of Tamil poetry. Selections from the Vedic literature, classical drama, epics, story literature, and lyric poetry are studied in English translation.

MEIS-UA 720: Topics in Arabic Literature
4.00 Credits
New York University
An introduction to the main stylistic features of classical Arabic for students who have completed two semesters of Arabic. Students gain a flavor of an older, yet essential, register of Arabic through the most important texts of the Islamic tradition. These texts constitute the core of Islam to the present: the Qur'an and the Hadith (Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad). The syllabus also includes samples from the Tafsir tradition (Koranic hermeneutics), Sufi/mystical literature (poetry and prose), philosophical novels, and pious tales from the popular sphere (the Arabian Nights tradition). The Koran provides a sustained focus for the course, with particular attention paid to its influence on all categories of Arabo-Islamic literature-linguistically, stylistically, thematically, and doctrinally.

MEIS-UA 757: Travel Literature
4.00 Credits
New York University
Brings together a set of theoretical, critical, and literary texts about travel from antiquity to the late 20th century with a focus, albeit not an exclusive one, on the Middle East. The first sessions of the course are devoted to theoretical and critical reflections on travel literature and the historically and culturally changing categories in relation to which it should be read. These include "imaginative geography"; Greek versus Barbarian; the hajj, trade routes, and knowledge-seeking as motives; Orientalism, Occidentalism, and ethnography; transnationalism in relation to class and gender; tourism; migrant workers; and exile and narratives of return. The literary texts to be read later in the course demonstrate the contrasting conventions of representations of travel in different times and places in relation to the issues raised in the introductory sessions.
