Jewish Studies (JWSH)
JWSH 327 Jewish Secular Culture
(3) With the advent of modernity and secularization, the concept of Yiddishkeit (Jewishness) shifted its emphasis from religious observance to new modes of cultural expression. During the last two centuries, Ashkenazi Jews have expressed their secular identity through literature, music, theatre, art, humor, and foodways. This interdisciplinary course draws on theoretical approaches from history, cultural studies, folklore, and linguistics to examine the non-religious cultural practices of the Jews in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as in North America.
