COLT 54.01 Ukraine, Jews, and the Literature of War

This course explores the Jewish contribution to, and integration with, Ukrainian culture. It focuses on the writers and poets of Jewish descent whose literary activities span from the early 20th century to the 2020s. We’ll develop a consistent vision of Jewish encounter and participation in Ukrainian modernity, literary and cultural life. The course also embraces and contextualizes Jewish writers who were born in Ukraine and Ukrainian authors of Jewish origin as important participants in the oikumene that shaped them as writers.
