Class description
ARAB FOLKLORE Folk Genres have been variously described as reflecting or reversing social norms, as providing emotional outlets and social coping strategies to participants, and as tools for both maintaining and transforming social interaction and institutions. With special reference to verbal folk traditions in the Arab World, this course will explore these various approaches to oral verbal art. All texts are in English, and no prior knowledge of Arabic is required.
