Course description

This course will examine Israeli-Palestinian relations through a lens of popular culture. We will focus on popular culture because it appeals to large groups of people, and so learning about it provides a useful way to better understand Israelis and Palestinians, beyond news headlines. The course will cover film, music, internet, food, sports, fashion, and tourism. Discussion will be structured around the following major themes: cultural exchanges and appropriations; borders and walls; and finally, terror and trauma.
