Through the use of selected readings, maps, travel brochures, films, and other documents, this course will offer students the opportunity to explore the spectrum of religious and political meanings attached to Israel/Palestine/the Holy Land throughout history, and the ways symbolic views of the landscape have been articulated through the act of walking across the country. The course will be taught primarily in English, but will include a number of English and Hebrew-language readings. When possible, translations to and from both languages will be used.
