Semester Hours: 3 Periodically We will study literary texts originally written in Russian by Jewish writers from the 1890s in the Russian empire up to the diaspora of the present day. The traumas of Stalin's purges, the second World War, the Cold War, immigration of Russian Jews to the West during the 1970s, and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 contributed to a revival of Jewish self-awareness in Russian literature, and to an even greater diversity of styles and subjects in the work of Russian Jewish authors. The course will take into account the esthetic as well as political evolution of the tradition up to the present day.

Semester Hours: 3 Periodically Ireland has the oldest vernacular literature in the world. This course will examine that literature in translation: its unique genres (the aisling, the caoine), the relationship between oral and written literature in the Irish language, and tradition and innovation in Irish language literature. It will consider the Irish language as a case study in language and colonialism: the prohibition of Irish by the English government after the fall of the Gaelic order in the 17th century, the survival of the language despite the Great Irish Famine and high emigration from Irish-speaking areas, the place of Irish language and literature in the nationalist movement at the end of the nineteenth century, and its current status in a globalized world as a working language of the European Union. Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: WSC 1 and 2. Same as IRE 105.
