1 Jewish Theater in the 20 th Century Fall 2012 Laura Ligouri Psychology Department, Brandeis University Schusterman Center for Israel Studies Office Hours: TBA Contact Info: Mrs. Laura Ligouri, Course Description: This course explores Jewish identity and performance in the 20th and 21st century United States and Israel. We begin with an historical overview of Jews and Jewish identities, including the very question, What does Jewishness mean? Is it ethnicity, race, or religion? Identity or culture? Belief or practice? We ll also consider theories that understand Jewishness itself as a performance. From there, we ll turn to Jewish American theatre artists, from the Yiddish-language theatre of the early 20th century, to playwrights who defined a certain American middle-class life in the mid-20th century, to contemporary performers and playwrights who navigate the complexity of Jewish American identity in a range of genres and tones. The class will end on the development of Israeli theater and the contribution Zionism, the establishment of the state, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has had on Jewish identity and theatrical performance. Course Objectives: In what genres of theatre including musical theatre, performance art, melodrama, tragedy, and/or comedy have artists fruitfully explored the thematics of Jewish identity and how? How is Jewishness, as an identity position, inherently performative, from gesture to inflection, posture to gait? How has such performativity been exploited in stage productions to produce or resist a cultural stereotype of the Jew? How is Jewishness productively and necessarily crossed with other identity categories in performance race, class, gender, sexuality, among others to produce a Jewish subject who is multiple and diverse? How has 20th century American theatre offered a forum in different ways than literature for political discussions of Jewish assimilation and difference from the American middle-class norm? How has theatre offered a site of contestation for competing narratives of sameness or difference vis-à-vis the project of American nationalism for Jews? How is 20 th century Israeli theater different from that of its American counterpart? In what ways have Israeli theater contributed towards the development of Jewish identity? How has Israeli theater failed or succeeded in its attempts to balanced and encapsulate divested interests and beliefs throughout the last century? 1
2 Grading and Assignments: 1. Contribution to class blog. You should post to the course blog at least three times and make at least six comments. The first post must be before 9/24, and the first two comments before 9/26. The second post must be before 10/15, and the next two comments before 10/17. The third post must be before 11/12, and the last two comments before 11/14. Blog posts should range from words and should include: (1) a short paragraph describing the play or reading under consideration and (2) a paragraph analyzing the play in relation to class themes. Posts should be readable and creative and must develop ideas discussed in class. Comments must be substantive and constructive. Both can be in the first person. You may use blog posts to work out ideas you develop in your analysis paper and analysis done for the final exam. You will not receive feedback on each post but instead will be graded on the overall quality of your contributions. (40%). 2. Participation. Participate in class discussions and online forums, and be in class for occasional minute questions in class. Coming to office hours can also count toward participation. (10%). 3. One Analysis. One 3-page paper (approximately 750 words) should analyze one play with reference to the related readings. You may examine what you find striking about the work given the context of its production, circulation, or consumption; who the intended audiences of this work are and how you think they might see it; how this play compares to other plays, especially those discussed in the class; and so on. Media analysis papers are due in our digital dropbox under Assignments on Trunk by Friday, November 16 th, 5:00pm (30%). 4. Final Take Home Exam. You will be asked to answer analytic questions related to our readings and to do some analysis of Jewish & Jewish-Israeli theater. Due by Monday, December 10 th, 5:00pm in my in-box (20%). Course Policies: Students are expected to abide by all Tufts University academic regulations and guidelines. Academic integrity is of the utmost importance; students should refer to the School of Arts and Sciences/School of Engineering Academic Integrity handbook, available at for relevant guidelines. It is also essential that class participants work together to create an atmosphere of respectful academic rigor, and strive to create space for the expression of different perspectives and, when appropriate, experiences. In this sense, academic freedom is a collective responsibility. A useful starting point for thinking about our responsibilities for creating an atmosphere of academic freedom is the Confronting Intolerance pamphlet, available at Should students wish to record one or more lectures or other class events, they must receive ed, permission for recording any class lecture or other event. 2
3 If you use your computer or cell phone for non-class purposes, this will result in a lowering of your participation grade. If the problem persists, I reserve the right to forbid use of computers in class. Except in extraordinary circumstances either (1) with prior ed approval from me at least three full days in advance of a deadline, or (2) in the case of a serious and documented medical or family emergency, late work will be marked down one-half grade for each day a paper is late. That is, if a paper is turned in one day late, the top grade it can receive is an A-. The penalty for late exams is one full grade per day. If you need an accommodation as a result of a documented disability, you should register with the Disability Services Office at the beginning of the semester. To do so, call the Student Services Desk at to arrange an appointment with Sandra Baer, Program Director of Disability Services. Please follow a consistent format for citations.
