Nathan Devir’s classes at Middlebury College focus on the fields of Modern Hebrew language and literature. To date, they consist of the following:
HEBM 0101: Introductory Modern Hebrew I
HEBM 0102: Introductory Modern Hebrew II
HEBM 0103: Introductory Modern Hebrew III
HEBM 0201: Intermediate Modern Hebrew I
HEBM 0202: Intermediate Modern Hebrew II
HEBM 0220: Modern Hebrew Culture in Translation
HEBM 0221: Readings in Modern Hebrew
Professor Devir’s research is centered on five main areas involving cultural production: Comparative Literature (including Modern Hebrew, Francophone, and Anglo-American literatures); Israel Studies; Judaic Studies; archetypal criticism of literary and other cultural phenomena; and hermeneutics. His dissertation in-progress is a study of the ways in which modern Israeli, Francophone, and American Jewish writers rely upon — and yet, ultimately re-vision, based upon their own geo-political praxis — traditional and/or religious archetypes from the intertextual reservoir of Judaic culture.
