HISTORY (S24) | 131A ZOROASTRIANISM | CERETI, C. |
Emphasis/Category: Histories, Cultures, and Identities Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest religions and has been the religion of the Persian Empire throughout antiquity. It has influenced immensely the development of other religions attested in Asia and the Mediterranean in the pre-modern period. Unlike other faiths professed in the ancient world, Zoroastrianism has survived to this day, and Zoroastrian communities exist in India and Iran, as well as in Europe and North-America. In fact, many believers in the Best Religion now live in Southern California. Zoroastrian religious tenets developed in constant dialogue with other traditions, during our classes we will see how this happened in the various historical periods. | ||
HISTORY (S24) | 131C MEDIEVAL PERSIA | STAFF |
Emphasis/Category: Histories, Cultures, and Identities This course is a survey of Iranian history in the context of Late Antique and Medieval Islamic History. We shall attempt to present a view that Iranshahr (Realm of Iranians), could be studied as a separate cultural center amidst the Islamic world. We will begin with the rise of the last great Sasanian king of kings, Khusro I in the 6th CE to through the Mongol conquest and the Il-Khanid settlement in the 14th century CE. During this time period Iranshahr went through much political and religious upheaval and changes which is usually studied in the context of Medieval Islamic history. The aim of this course is to focus on the Perso-Islamicate world which includes the modern countries of Central Asia (Afghanistan, Uzbekestan, Tajikestan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, R. of Azarbijan), as well as Mesopotamia (Iraq) | ||
HISTORY (S24) | 132H SOC MOBILZTN ISRAEL | BURSTEIN, A. |
Emphasis/Category: Histories, Cultures, and Identities, Geographies, Migrations, and Politics, Environment, Economies, and Conflicts This course applies the scholarship on collective action and social movements to the case of Israel, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the social, religious, and ethnic conflicts that have shaped Israeli society and politics through a focus on the diverse movements that drove them. The course is divided into three parts: part one, Introduction to Social Movements and Contentious Politics, provides an overview of the theoretical foundations of social movement theory; part two, Israel: A Movement Society, explores the development of a range of movements which have shaped Israeli society since the pre-state era; and part three, Between War and Peace, involves an examination of the different types of mobilization that have developed around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Throughout the course students will be challenged to consider the shared patterns of mobilization reflected across cases, the connections between the development of Israeli social movements past and present, and the cumulative impact of the emergence of these movements on the shape of Israeli political institutions, governance and society. This course has no prerequisites, however students are expected to come to class having done the readings and prepared to actively engage in discussion. | ||
REL STD (S24) | 130 MID EAST DIASPORAS | FARAH, D. |
Emphasis/Category: Environment, Economies, and Conflicts, Histories, Cultures, and Identities, Geographies, Migrations, and Politics The term “diaspora” has traditionally referred to the historical exile and displacement of the Jewish people. In recent years, however, the term has come to refer to migrant and émigré communities that have left their places of origin—either by choice or under duress—and comprise a group defined primarily in relation to its historic “homeland.” Using the Jewish diaspora as a jumping-off point, this course will examine the history of diasporic groups from the Middle East (such as Iranian, Armenian, Kurdish, Turkish, Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese communities) between the late nineteenth century and today. Themes under discussion include transnational migration, trading diasporas, integration policies, intergenerational trauma, diaspora tourism, and memory. | ||
