 From Course
This course focuses on the processes of self-definition by Arab men and women in literature and their representation in film. These processes include expressions of sexuality, body image, the motif of un/veiling, the issues of filiation and affiliation, and national and religious identities. Each process will be identified within a spatial and temporal context in light of the manifestations of the socio-cultural changes. |
