SUMMARY:JEWISH STUDIES FACULTY STUDENT RESEARCH SEMINAR
DESCRIPTION:
 "Huwiya/Zehut: Identity and Language in the Israeli 
 Bilingual Sitcom 'Arab Labor'"\n
 \n
 Marc 
 Bernstein, Michigan State University \n
 \n
 Dr. 
 Bernstein explores linguistic issues surrounding 
 the Arabic-speaking protagonists in the popular 
 Israeli sitcom "Arab Labor." He discusses 
 the "blended Israeli Arabic," a unique dialectical 
 variant containing embedded Hebrew 
 words and phrases drawn from specific semantic 
 fields, which, at critical junctures, determines 
 plot direction and undergirds a critique 
 of both Palestinian-Israeli and Jewish-Israeli 
 societies. Co-sponsored by Jewish Studies 
 and Muslim Studies. \n
