JNE 349: Yidishkayt: Yiddish Literature in English Translation
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course traces the emergence, development, flourish, and near-decline of Yiddish literature, beginning with some of the earliest writings to appear in Yiddish in the late Middle Ages and early modern period, continuing with 19th-century attempts to establish a modern Yiddish literature and the 20th-century emergence of both a classical canon and a literary avant garde, and ending with post-Holocaust attempts to retain a Yiddish literary culture in the near absence of Yiddish-speaking communities. Focusing on the role of Yiddish as the "national" language of Ashkenaz, the course examines the ways in which Yiddish literature has responded to the social conditions of European Jewish life, exploring among others the relationship between Yiddish and the non-Jewish cultures in which it existed; the tensions between secular trends versus religious tradition; life in the shtetl and in the metropolis; immigration from the old world to the new; and Yiddish literary responses to the Holocaust.

JNE 3581: Musica Ebraica: Jewish Identities in Western Music from 1600 to the 21st Century
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The course explores Western music from the 17th century to the 21st century through the prism of musical works that were written by Jews and for Jews and of musical compositions reflecting their composers' identifying themselves as Jews. Jewish art music from these periods is examined against the background of musical development in general, the social, political, and religious context of the composers, and written reflections about Jewish music. Examples of Jewish art music are analyzed through different approaches in order to determine the cultural interrelationships between Jews and non-Jews, Jewish cultural autonomy, and the perception of Jewishness in music.

JNE 3582: Music in Jewish Culture and Society
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The common term "Jewish Music" raises numerous questions that emanate from the difficulty to define "Jewish" identity of any given music. This course deals with various approaches to the definition of Jewish music, perceived as a cultural and sociological component in the Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora. We survey the functions in which music is performed in traditional Jewish communities, especially Jewish liturgy, and the substantial vicissitudes in these musics after the European Enlightenment, European colonialism in north Africa, and in the Mediterranean. We study the background and the different characteristics of selected Jewish communities-Ashkenazic, Sephardic, Italian, Yemenite, and others-as well as instrumental music, questions of gender, and the relationship between music and text. A secondary goal of this course is the study of the bibliography and discography of Jewish musics.

JNE 3583: The Soundtrack of Israeli History
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course explores connections between Israeli history, nationality, and culture, and between Israeli art music. Such an encounter between reveals the reflection of, and responses to, local social developments in various historic and constitutive moments in Israeli history such as: the fifth Aliya (wave of immigration) in the 1930s, the statehood years, the waning of nationalistic sentiments in the late 1950s, the aftermath of Israeli wars, the negotiation between Israeli and Jewish identities, and even artistic expressions of postmodernity within the Israeli context. These histories are surveyed through historical studies as well as through their musics and against the background of developments in 20th-century music.
