Description
Beginning with a brief historical, religious, and geographical overview, the course will draw attention to the "Orientalist gaze" of Western perception that tends (incorrectly) to regard veiled Middle Eastern women as victims of patriarchal or religious oppression. Subsequently reviews detailed analyses of ways in which contemporary men and women the Middle East behave in everyday contexts.
