University of Rochester Course Descriptions: The Arabian Nights Beyond “East” and “West” Mondays, July 3rd – August 14th at 2:00pm This series of seven meetings will focus on the cycle of tales known as the Arabian Nights or
The Thousand and One Nights, and their various translations, rewritings, and adaptations –
literary, visual, aural, and cinematic. In the first half of the series, we will trace the
development of European consciousness about medieval Arab world and the “Orient” from
early translations to subsequent circulations and textual reworking of the Nights, with
particular attention to primary texts but also with reference to the translators’
introductions and creative work, travel accounts, testimonies, and visual and popular art.
In the second half, we will investigate the “afterlife” of the tales in contemporary
rewritings and adaptations, and in their new contexts. During our meetings, I will invite
you to reflect on questions of cultural communication, influence, translation of other
cultures, representation, and stereotype in relation to identity formation, ethics, and
globalization.
