Daily Life in Palestine: a HALF COURSE engaging essays, history, ethnography and film: This experimental half-course will focus on accounts of community life in Gaza and the West Bank, engaging work about specific communities and individuals at specific moments in time with an alertness to materiality, memory, affect, and the politics of representation. We will also reflect together on the effects of different kinds of narratives. In addition to regular in-class writing, students will work with a partner to lead one segment of class discussion, presenting their findings on a specific topic of their choice. The class will also collaboratively generate a wide-ranging bibliography of sources from and about Palestinian worlds. The course meets for an extended session once a week for the first 8 weeks of the semester. Keywords:Middle East, Palestine, anthropology, ethnography, film.
