Häberl Office: Center for Middle Eastern Studies Lucy Stone Hall, Room B-329 Office Hours: By Appointment Phone: (732) 445-8444 Email: [email protected] Course Description: Introduction to the grammar of Aramaic, one of the world’s earliest and longest attested languages, formerly the lingua franca of the Middle East and today spoken by nearly half a million Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Focuses upon the Aramaic portions of the books of Ezra and Daniel, combined with a broad survey of Aramaic dialects in antiquity and the present day. Long Description: This course aims to introduce students to the Aramaic language through the Imperial Aramaic dialect, which was one of the official languages of the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BCE). The expansion of the Achaemenid Empire throughout the Middle East placed Aramaic into a privileged position as the lingua franca of the region, a position which it held for over a millennium, until the Islamic conquests of the region in the 7 th century CE. Imperial Aramaic is the dialect in which the Aramaic (or “Chaldean”) portions of the Bible were composed, and also the dialect from which all subsequently attested dialects of Aramaic developed, including those still spoken by certain small communities of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the Middle East and in diaspora throughout the world.

Moag, available from Jenn's Copy, 2200 Guadalupe. A midterm and a final exam will be given, plus pop vocabulary quizzes, and other unannounced classroom exercises that will be figured into the course grade. Each lesson's conversation must be memorized and enacted in class. Written homework will be given on a daily basis. Work with the language lab materials is also an integral and required part of the coursework. Students may go to the media lab in BAT 232 or access the lab via the internet. The link to these audio versions of the lessons is as follows: http://www.lamc.utexas.edu/itsaud/mm_0_02.html . A copy of this syllabus is available on Sakai. Students should check Sakai daily for assignments, course materials, and announcements. GRADES: The final exam will count 30% of the course grade, with an additional 30% composed of the average score of all homework assignments. Homework is due the day after it appears in the syllabus. Homework is graded on a scale of 1-10 and will be marked down one point for each class day it is late. A one-day grace period will be allowed under special circumstances only. The midterm exam counts 20% of the course grade. The remaining 20% comes from a classwork grade based on attendance, degree of preparedness, spirit and level of participation in the classroom, and overall effort. This is a skill course, and hence it is critically important to follow the syllabus and do the assigned work every day. Falling behind can be disastrous. You can achieve a real sense of empowerment, and probably a good grade, if you keep up on a daily basis. Welcome to the course, good luck, and enjoy.

  • Cavar Thesis Final 2020.Pdf
    Abstract: What, how, and who is transbutch? In this thesis, I examine memoirs and personal essays that define and defy boundaries between “butch" and “transmasculine" subjectivity –– and investigate my own queer experience in the process –– in order to counter the myth of an irreparable trans/ butch divide. Deemed by some to be “border wars,” conflicts between transness and butchness are emblematic of the contested (hi)stories on which the identities are founded: namely, white supremacy, colonialism, transmedicalism, and lesbian separatism/trans-exclusionary radical fem- inism. Ensuing identity-battles –– which have increased with increased access to biomedical transition –– rely on a teleological approach to identity, and, I argue, may only be ameliorated by prioritizing experiential multiplicity and political affinity over fixed, essential truth. Through en- gagement with a variety of personal narratives by authors such as S. Bear Bergman, Ivan Coyote, Rae Spoon, and blogger MainelyButch, I counter the understanding of identity as intrinsic and immutable, showing instead the dynamism of transbutch life, its stretchiness as a personal and community signifier, and its constant re-definition by its occupants. 2 Enacting Transbutch: Queer Narratives Beyond Essentialism BY: SARAH LYNN CAVAR Bachelor of Arts Mount Holyoke College South Hadley, MA 2020 3 Acknowledgements: How to start but with a story. I am about to send this final document to my advisor, Jacquelyne Luce, in anticipation of a thesis defense that is as I write this only days away. Without her sup- port and guidance at every stage –– all the way from a disorganized 120-page Google Doc of notes to the PDF you now read –– this thesis would not be possible.

Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.

Hernandez A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Sonnet Retman, Chair Michelle Habell-Pallán Habiba Ibrahim Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English Hernandez 2 ©Copyright 2013 Melanie A. Hernandez Hernandez 3 University of Washington Abstract Border Crossings: Passing and Other(ed) Strategic Performances of Race in African American and Chicana/o Literatures Melanie A. Hernandez Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sonnet Retman, Associate Professor Department of American Ethnic Studies This project begins with an analysis of racial passing narratives, and considers the ways that the genre provides a useful deconstructive tool to better understand essence-based productions of race and racial authenticity within Chicana/o assimilation narratives. Through their critical exploration of the performative aspects of race, passing novels expose the fissures within these essentialist logics and in so doing they lodge their protest against the conditions under which passing could occur. I explore the ways that writers and artists have strategically used genre, knowing that readers will approach the text with a set of expectations, only to complicate the narrative while still operating within its formal conventions. This project maps strategic manipulations of genre as the primary tool to produce racial identities or exploit preexisting notions of race and gender with the aim to Hernandez 4 resist marginalization. I focus on the political discursive practices within both genres that judge passing and assimilation at the level of the individual.

  • Speculating a Chicana Identity Ritch Calvin SUNY Stony Brook
    Ritch Calvin Isabella Ríos and Victuum AMERICAN@ ISSN:1695-7814 Vol. III. Issue 1 Isabella Ríos and Victuum: Speculating a Chicana Identity Ritch Calvin SUNY Stony Brook Let us, then, attempt explanation, not with the fantasy of the novelist, but with an intuition supported by the facts of history and science. (José Vasconcelos) No basta adaptarnos a una sociedad que cambia en la superficie y permanece idéntica en la raíz. No basta imitar los modelos que se nos proponen y que son la respuesta a otras circunstancias que las nuestras. No basta siquiera descubrir lo que somos. Hay que inventarnos. (Rosario Castellanos)1 The Chicana social predicament necessitates a reconsideration of both the “idealized past” and the “future perfect.” (Alvina E. Quintana) Abstract Resumen Key Words: Isabella Rios, Victuum, patriarchal family, Chican@ science fiction novel, identity. Palabras Clave: Isabella Rios, Victuum, familia patriarcal, novela de ciencia ficción Chican@, identidad. Given my own literary aesthetic, given my own cultural and social history, I tend to not like realist fiction. Give me Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway over George Eliot’s Middlemarch any day of the week. I obtain enormous pleasure from reading the transformative novels of the Latin American “Boom” writers such as Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Mario Vargas Llosa, Clarice Lispector, Julio Cortázar, Cristina Perri Rosi, and Carlos Fuentes. These novels challenge the reader’s preconceptions of narrative form and content. They challenge foundational understandings of history and society and identity. And in some ways, many of the Latina/o Ritch Calvin Isabella Ríos and Victuum writers within the U.S.
