Drawing on insights coming out of the contemporary study of linguistic variation and sociolinguistics, the course poses a number of questions that arise at the confluence of language and society, such as: What makes a language “Jewish”? How are languages and scripts employed in defining one’s cultural identity? What are the historical forces that shape the development of Jewish variants of languages? The languages to be discussed in the course include Hebrew (from ancient to modern), Aramaic, Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Arabic, and others. Working knowledge of at least one Jewish language would be useful but is not required.

We will investigate debates about the origins and historicization of the Holocaust; the role of Hitler in decision-making and the Nazi bureaucracy; the development of antisemitism; the uses of sources, from archival documents to victim testimony; theories of genocide and colonialism; comparative genocide; memory and the “myth of silence”; and other themes. Readings will ask how historians can write a narrative reconstruction of events while “probing the limits of representation,” in the words of Saul Friedländer.
