MID E 6463 - Cultural Encounters: European & American Travellers to the Middle East, 17th to the 20th Century

Meets with MID E 4463 and TURK 4630. Additional work required of graduate students. Travel narratives about the Middle East from the 17th to the 20th century by Europeans and Americans. We will deal with topics such as describing "the other" without fetishizing or exoticizing: what is literature; power dynamics and cultural works.
