SUMMARY:5/6 TALK | "More Mexican than the Nopal": From Ottoman Jew to Mexican Diplomat in Vichy France\, or the Story of Mauricio Fresco
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Devi Mays will use the life of Mauricio Fresco — an Ottoman Jew and Mexican diplomat — as a foil for exploring the multiple tensions\, at times coexisting and at times conflicting\, that undergirded global Sephardic life in the tempestuous years of the late interwar and World War II eras. Mays’ research draws the narrative of transnational Sephardic networks into a period in which they began to break down just as they were most crucial. \nWhile in many ways an exceptional character\, Fresco nonetheless embedded himself within\, contributed to\, and drew on Sephardi ties within and without Mexico. Simultaneously\, he rocketed to prominence as a Mexican diplomat\, traveling the world and bearing written witness to some of the era’s greatest calamities — the Japanese invasion and occupation of Manchuria\, the Nazi occupation of Paris and its subsequent liberation\, and Spanish Civil War refugees languishing in French concentration camps. \nAbout the speaker\nDevi Mays is Assistant Professor of Judaic Studies and History at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in Jewish History from Indiana University and was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Jewish Theological Seminary. She is currently revising a book manuscript tentatively entitled “Forging Ties\, Forging Passports: Migration and the Modern Sephardi Diaspora.” \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Sephardic Studies Program at the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies\, the Middle East Center and Latin American & Caribbean Studies Program of the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies; the Department of History\, and the Turkish and Ottoman Studies Fund at the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization (NELC).

SUMMARY:5/23 TALK | Visualizing Resistance: From Conflict to Concord in a Synagogue Mosaic
DESCRIPTION:“The elephant panel” from the Huqoq synagogue mosaic. Via the Journal of Roman Archeology’s blog. \nSince 2011\, the Huqoq Excavation Project has been excavating a late Roman (fifth century) synagogue in lower Galilee paved with stunning floor mosaics. \nOne mosaic in particular\, dubbed the “elephant panel\,” departs in significant ways from other ancient synagogue mosaics. Rather than depicting a narrative scene from the Hebrew Bible\, the panel depicts a striking scene from the Hellenistic period: the bloody defeat of a Greek army by a Judaean force and the subsequent peace treaty between the two sides. \nIn this talk\, Huqoq site historian Dr. Ra’anan Boustan will consider what this visual narrative — which juxtaposes conflict with mutual recognition — would have meant to a Jewish community living in the rapidly Christianizing Galilee of late antiquity. \nLearn more about the Huqoq synagogue mosaics: \n\nMan-eating fish\, Tower of Babel revealed on ancient mosaic (2018)\nMind-blowing 1\,600-year-old biblical mosaics paint new picture of Galilean life (2018)\n\nThis talk is supported by a Royalty Research Fund grant given to Stroum Center faculty member Mika Ahuvia for the 2018-19 academic year. \nAbout the speaker\nRa‘anan Boustan is a research scholar in the program in Judaic Studies at Princeton University specializing in the study of ancient Judaism. Boustan completed his B.A. in classics at Brown University in 1994 and received a graduate degree in classics and religious studies (Vrij doctoraal letteren) from the University of Amsterdam. In 2004\, he completed his Ph.D. in the Department of Religion at Princeton University. \nBoustan is the author of “From Martyr to Mystic: Rabbinic Martyrology and the Making of Merkavah Mysticism” (2005) and co-author of “The Elephant Mosaic Panel in the Synagogue at Huqoq: Official Publication and Initial Interpretations” (2017). He has co-edited eight books or special issues of journals and has published his work in leading journals such as Harvard Theological Review\, The Jewish Quarterly Review\, and Medieval Encounters. He co-edits the journal Jewish Studies Quarterly and is currently the site historian for the Huqoq Excavation Project in Lower Galilee\, working with Karen Britt on the mosaics in the Huqoq synagogue.
