JWST 201 - Jewish Textuality: Space and Place

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
This course addresses characteristic forms of Jewish texts and related theoretical issues concerning transmission and interpretation. On the one hand, canonical texts–Bible, Midrash, Talmud–will be considered, including some modern (and postmodern) reactivations of these classical modes. On the other hand, special attention will be given to modern problems of transmission in a post-canonical world. Mr. Bush.

Prerequisites: JWST 101  or by permission.
