"The Devil in Warsaw: Polish Prose in Modern Times" Enter the vibrant and anguished world of 20th-century Polish prose with an introduction to literary works by futurist Aleksander Wat, Auschwitz survivor Tadeusz Borowski, poet and acerbic social critic C.K. Norwid, and modernist innovators Witold Gombrowicz, Bruno Schulz, and Debora Vogel and join us as we discuss the modern text as both a hardworking machine, and an embodiment of desire. In this course we will ask: What does fiction do, and what roles has it played in helping to negotiate the experience of modernity? Is storytelling still necessary and possible in a world characterized by speed, the machine, and motion pictures? If so, what does it desire, and what does it promise? Topics in this course include Positivist, Futurist, avant-garde and neo-Romantic movements in Polish literature; witness literature; and the role of literary theologies in a secular modern world.

4 hours Doikeyt, Diaspora, Borderlands Same as JST 494 and RELS 494. "Polish Jewish Territories in the Literary Imagination: Doikeyt, Diaspora, Borderlands" In this course Polish-Jewish Territories become a chance to explore contemporary approaches to cultural memory, diaspora, nationhood and belonging, pluralism, and cultural hybridity. Yiddishland, Borderlands, Polin; The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; the cafes, and cabarets of interwar Poland, or avant-garde art of the 1920s: all are examples of physical or cultural spaces that have come into being at and through the intersection of Polish and Jewish cultures. How are Polish-Jewish spaces and territories remembered and evoked in works of contemporary cinema and theater? How are these territories, and historically Polish lands, differently imagined in Polish and Yiddish literature, film and political writing of the 19th to 21st centuries? Join us to read and watch works by Polish and Yiddish authors, playwrights and poets including Mickiewicz, Peretz, Ansky, Korn, Vogel, Tuwim, Sutzkever, Miosz and Bartana, among other and by .leading political and cultural activists who helped to shape the way communities have narrated their relationships to Polish space, and to Polish-Jewish relations.
