Coming from Turkey, North and West Africa, Pakistan, and elsewhere, Muslim immigrants in Europe are changing what it means to be a European. In the process, they have brought questions of cultural identity into the international media. Examining literature, the press, and secondary studies, this writing-intensive course studies the ways in which national governments and institutions have chosen to deal with the arrival of large numbers of Muslims as permanent residents. We consider what the various controversies and prejudices surrounding their presence mean for the future of European culture. Such issues as citizenship, assimilation, the right to cultural difference, and the use of cultural and religious symbols are among our major interests. No foreign language background is assumed. Priority is given to IAS majors for this WI course.

Nation states and their cultures have been changed by globalization. Within this process, continentalization has played an important role. The European Union is only half a century old, but continental unity has been discussed and demanded by European writers and thinkers for hundreds of years. We read essays on Europe (its identity, its cultural diversity, and its cultural roots, contemporary problems, and future goals) by writers such as Coleridge, Madame de Staël, Novalis, Chateaubriand, Heine, Nerval, Hugo, Thomas Mann, Ernst Jünger, T.S. Eliot, Klaus Mann, de Madariaga, Kundera, Enzensberger, Frischmuth, and Drakulic; we discuss studies reinventing Europe by philosophers such as the Abbé de Saint-Pierre, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Ortega y Gasset; we deal with the mythological figure of Europa and her resurrections in the world of art; we study the Nazarene painters of the early 19th century in Rome and discuss portraits of Bonaparte by French painters of the time. Comparative Literature students meet with the instructor for an additional two hours per month.
