3.00 Credits
University of Pennsylvania
Sharkey. This class is a reading- and discussion-intensive seminar that addresses several recurring questions with regard to the Middle East and North Africa. How have Islam, Judaism, and Christianity influenced each other in these regions historically How have Jews, Christians, and Muslims fared as religious minorities To what extent have communal relations been characterized by harmony and cooperation, or by strife and discord, and how have these relations changed in different contexts over time To what extent and under what circumstances have members of these communities converted, intermarried, formed business alliances, and adopted or developed similar customs How has the emergence of the modern nation-state system affected communal relations as well as the legal or social status of religious minorities in particular countries How important has religion been as one variable in social identity (along with sect, ethnicity, class, gender, etc.), and to what extent has religious identity figured into regional conflicts and wars The focus of the class will be on the modern period (c. 1800-present) although we will read about some relevant trends in the early and middle Islamic periods as well. Students will also pursue individually tailored research to produce final papers.Prior background in Islamic studies useful.

NELC 536: Nationalism and Communal Identity in the Middle East
3.00 Credits
University of Pennsylvania
Sharkey. Prerequisite(s): NELC 101 or other relevant introductory courses on the Middle East. This seminar views the phenomenon of nationalism as it affected the modern Middle East in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Together we will consider the diverse components of nationalism, including religion, language, territorial loyalty, and ethnicity, and test the thesis that nations are "imagined communities" built on "invented traditions." At the same time, we will examine other forms of communal identity that transcend national borders or flourish on more localized scales. This class approaches nationalism and communal identity as complex products of cultural, political, and social forces, and places Middle Eastern experiences within a global context.

NELC 537: Introduction to Islamic Intellectual History:Hellenism,Arabism,and Islamism
3.00 Credits
University of Pennsylvania
Staff. A comprehensive survey of the traditions of rational thought in classical Islamic culture. The course is distinguished by its attempt to contextualize and localize the history of what is best described as philosophy in Islam, including not only the Islamic products of the Hellenistic mode of thought but also religious and linguistic sciences whose methodology is philosophical. Reading history as a set of local contingencies, the course examines the influence of these different disciplines upon each other, and the process of the Islamic "aspecting" of the Greek intellectual legacy. The readings thus include not only the works of Hellenized philosophers (falasifa) of Islam, but also those of theologians (mutakallimun), legists (fiqh-writers), and grammarians (nahw/lugha-writers). No prerequisites. Additional advanced-level assignments can be given for graduate credit.
