France and the Holocaust in Film and Literature (3) This course versions of which have been offered several times as both a first- year seminar and as a 400-level course, has two goals. First, it will examine the French experience of the Holocaust. While Jews were the primary victims of the Holocaust, Gypsies, mentally and physically disabled persons, homosexuals and political and religious dissidents were also persecuted and in many cases, killed. Of the approximately 330,000 Jews living in France in 1940, about one quarter perished, while roughly three quarters survived, despite the high level of cooperation or collaboration of the Vichy government with the policies of the Nazi regime. How can we explain this paradox?

Minorities and Israeli Cinema (3) Since its early days, Israeli cinema has played a dual role: while serving as a means by which to forge a national identity it has also given voice to marginalized groups and undermined the imagined Israeli collective. This course explores some of the radical transformations Israel has gone through in the past few decades - transformations that have lead to a much more pluralistic and diverse society - through their representations on the screen. It considers the representations of a range of racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual groups across Israeli's recent history and across its cinema.
