SUMMARY:Tomasz Łysak: Classic Documentary Films About Auschwitz-Birkenau
DESCRIPTION:After WWII there was a significant shift in the visual principles of rendering the operations of Auschwitz-Birkenau\, its history\, and its moral significance. Soviet and Polish filmmakers established the cinematographic conventions of Holocaust documentaries\, which contributed to the conceptualization of concentration camps and industrial genocide as modernist events. The films in question span the period between the liberation of Auschwitz and the 1960s\, and include liberation footage recorded by the Red Army and the Polish Film Chronicle\, Alain Resnais’s Night and Fog (1955)\, Andrzej Brzozowski’s Archeology (1967)\, and Tadeusz Jaworski’s I was a Kapo (1963). This selection sheds light on the aesthetic choices of film genres like newsreel\, post-traumatic film\, scientific film\, and first person testimony.\n \nJoin former Polish Fulbright Scholar Tomasz Łysak as he discusses his new book Od kroniki do filmu posttraumatycznego – filmy dokumentalne o Zagładzie. The book explores a comparative perspective on Holocaust cinema\, placing Polish productions in the context of the larger international phenomenon of this genre.\n \nThis event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.\n \nOrganized by UW Polish Studies\, co-sponsored by the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies.\n \n \nAbout the Speaker:\nTomasz Łysak\, University of Warsaw\, received his PhD in Philosophy from the Polish Academy of Sciences. His work focuses on representations of the Holocaust in relation to trauma studies and psychoanalysis. He has held fellowships at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, the University of Edinburgh\, and the University of Chicago.\n \n  \nAbout the Book:\nDocumentary materials shot during the war by Nazi cameramen came to define the audiovisual memory of Polish Jews in the ghettoes and Auschwitz-Birkenau liberation footage became a powerful symbol of the Holocaust. Polish documentary filmmakers had relied on these materials in order to present various aspects of the genocide\, Nazi atrocities\, and the fate of Jews under the occupation. Subsequently\, quoting of archival footage lost its appeal and other modes of documentary film-making prevail: cinematic memory work (in response to Alain Resnais’s Night and Fog)\, audiovisual testimony\, documentaries of return etc. The book traces these developments and adopts a comparative perspective showing Polish productions in the context of a larger international phenomenon of Holocaust cinema. The argument combines insights from psychoanalytical trauma theory\, generic criticism\, memory studies\, and political aesthetics.

SUMMARY:"Oriental Neighbors" Discussion with Prof. Moshe Naor
DESCRIPTION:Oriental Neighbors: Middle Eastern Jews and Arabs in Mandatory Palestine \nFocusing on Oriental Jews and their relations with their Arab neighbors in Mandatory Palestine\, this book analyzes the meaning of the hybrid Arab-Jewish identity that existed among Oriental Jews\, and discusses their unique role as political\, social\, and cultural mediators between Jews and Arabs. Integrating Mandatory Palestine and its inhabitants into the contemporary Semitic-Levantine surroundings\, Oriental Neighbors illuminates broad areas of cooperation and coexistence\, which coincided with conflict and friction\, between Oriental and Sephardi Jews and their Arab neighbors. The book brings the Oriental Jewish community to the fore\, examines its role in the Zionist nation-building process\, and studies its diverse and complex links with the Arab community in Palestine. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization\, UW Middle East Center*\, and Stroum Center for Jewish Studies. \nKosher lunch will be provided. Note that registration is required to attend this event. \n  \n*The Middle East Center’s sponsorship of this of this event does not imply that the Center endorses the content of the event.

SUMMARY:4th Annual International Ladino Day
DESCRIPTION:The Stroum Center for Jewish Studies and the Sephardic Studies Program present \nInternational Ladino Day \nSupport made possible by the Lucie Benveniste Kavesh Endowed Fund for Sephardic Studies \nAdditional support provided by Sephardic Bikur Holim\, Congregation Ezra Bessaroth\, the Seattle Sephardic Network\, the Seattle Sephardic Brotherhood\, and the Sephardic Studies Program Founders Circle \nIn 1978\, the acclaimed film Song of the Sephardi by David Raphael premiered in Seattle. The director decided to set the film—and premiere it—in Seattle because he wanted to capture the dynamic Sephardic culture\, religion\, and the Ladino language in all of its richness\, and recognized Seattle as one of the best places to do so. Nearly forty years later\, in honor of the Fourth International Ladino Day\, we will revisit the film\, reflect on the snapshot of Sephardic culture it captured\, and follow the protagonists and the families featured in the film: Where are they now? And what is the present status of Sephardic culture and community in Seattle? Are there more verses to the Song of the Sephardi yet to be composed? \nAfter a brief screening of excerpts from Song of the Sephardi\, Prof. Devin E. Naar will moderate a panel of Seattle community members to discuss the past\, present\, and future of Ladino. The panel participants include: Judith Amiel\, Hazzan Isaac (Ike) Azose\, David Behar\, and Makena Owens. \n  \n\nEnjoy video highlights from our previous celebrations of International Ladino Day in Seattle\n“Ladino Day Confirms Seattle as Vibrant Hub of Sephardic Culture” by Molly FitzMorris\n“What is the History of Ladino and Its Alphabet?” Video Featuring Prof. Devin Naar and Prof. David Bunis
