SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Amelia Glaser\, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Fair: Jewish-Slavic Relations through Literary History"
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Stroum Jewish Studies Program and Slavic Languages and Literatures \nLight lunch will be provided. \nThroughout the nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries\, Jews\, Ukrainians\, Poles\, and Russians lived together in the territory known as the Pale of Settlement\, a region of Eastern Europe that now covers much of Ukraine\, Belarus\, and the Baltic States. Although these communities spoke different languages\, followed distinct cultural habits\, and practiced different religions\, members of these communities did meet at markets and fairs. The stories that Jewish\, Russian\, and Ukrainian writers tell about these marketplace encounters help us to understand a complex history of coexistence and antagonism in the nineteenth century and after. Amelia Glaser will be discussing Jewish-Slavic relations\, as told through stories of these marketplace encounters by Nikolai Gogol\, Hrihorii Kvitka\, Sholem Aleichem\, Isaac Babel\, and others. She will base her talk on her recent book\, Jews and Ukrainians in Russia’s Literary Borderlands: From the Shtetl Fair to the Petersburg Bookshop. \nAmelia Glaser is an associate professor of Russian and comparative literature at the University of California\, San Diego\, and is currently the director of Russian and Soviet Studies at UCSD. In addition to Jews and Ukrainians (Northwestern U. Press\, 2012)\, she is the translator of a collection of American Yiddish poets\, Proletpen: America’s Rebel-Yiddish Poets (U. of Wisconsin Press\, 2005)\, which recently appeared in paperback. She is currently editing a collected volume of essays on literary representations of the Cossack uprisings of 1648\, as well as a book about American Yiddish poets from Eastern Europe. Professor Glaser grew up in Northern California\, received a BA from Oberlin College\, an MA in Yiddish from the University of Oxford\, and a Ph.D in Comparative Literature from Stanford University. \n

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: Leah Garrett of Monash University in Australia\, “Jewish American War Novels”
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 14\, 2012  \n12:30 – 1:30pm in Thomson 317\, Light lunch provided \nLeah Garrett of Monash University in Australia\, expert in Yiddish and Jewish-American literature\, will speak on “Jewish American War Novels” \nIn 1948 five books about the war dominated the New York Times bestseller list and were all written by Jews and made Jewish soldiers central protagonists: Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead\, Irwin Shaw’s The Young Lions\, Ira Wolfert’s An Act of Love\, Merle Miller’s That Winter\, and Stefan Heym’s The Crusaders.  A sixth book about a Jewish soldier also sold well that year (although it did not make the bestseller list)\, Martha Gellhorn’s The Wine of Astonishment.  The critical and popular dominance of Jewish war novels in America extended into the early 1960s.  For instance\, Herman Wouk’s The Caine Mutiny (1952) was the largest postwar bestseller\, while Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 (1961) initiated the literary trend of satirizing and subverting America’s war aims. \nJewish writers argued in their novels that the Holocaust was a central\, rather than ancillary\, aspect of the war experience.  Other themes that Jewish war novelists took up included a focus on the endemic antisemitism and racism in the military\, the infusion of intellectualism into the figure of the ideal soldier hero\, and the reversal of the standard American understanding of the Japanese enemy as a devil and the German as an European brother.  In Jewish novels\, the Japanese are fellow minorities\, and the Germans are the true demons. \nYet the central role of Jews in fictionalizing War World II for a postwar readership has gone unnoticed in literary and historical studies.  Either the Jewishness of the writers is uncommented on\, or\, the Jewishness of the text is negated.  This factor is central\, because as I will discuss\, Jewish authors wrote about the war in very unique ways\, and since their novels were bestsellers\, they had a direct impact upon how postwar Americans understood the war effort.
