In a globalized world, migration and diaspora are omnipresent phenomena. In this seminar, we will discuss discourses and cultural practices of diaspora. We will place our particular focus on the Jewish and Black diasporas in the Atlantic World. The seminar is open to MA students from Jewish studies, English, and Anglophone Modernities. The language of instruction is English.
Students are expected to read Safran and Clifford for the first session:
Clifford, James, "Diasporas," Cultural Anthropology 9, no. 3 (1994): 302-338.
Safran, William, "Diasporas in Modern Societies: Myths of Homeland and Return," Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies 1, no. 1 (1991): 83-99.
Both essays will be made available on moodle.
