SUMMARY:4/10 PANEL | Perspectives on Cosmopolitan Istanbul in the Hit Netflix Series\, “The Club”
DESCRIPTION:In this virtual panel\, scholars Reşat Kasaba (University of Washington)\, Christine Philliou (UC Berkeley)\, and Aron Rodrigue (Stanford University) will discuss the historical context and contemporary significance of the hit Turkish Netflix series\, “Kulüp” (“The Club”). A recorded interview with “Kulüp” writer Rana Denizer conducted by Melike Yücel-Koç (University of Washington) will also be screened at the event. \nThis event is supported by the Hazzan Isaac Azose Fund for Community Engagement in Sephardic Studies at the University of Washington. \nWatch the panel now: \n \n\nView the interview with Rana Denizer\, conducted by Melike Yücel-Koç\n\nAbout this talk\n\nPoster for “Kulüp” (“The Club”). (Source: IMDB) \nDespite the fraught political climate in Turkey today\, Neflix recently released an unprecedented and wildly popular hit series\, “Kulüp” (“The Club”)\, that brings to life the once-cosmopolitan world of 1950s Istanbul. \nThe show features Turkey’s first mainstream depictions of Sephardic Jewish culture\, Ladino language and song\, and multidimensional Jewish characters that challenge common stereotypes on the screen in Turkey and the United States. “Kulüp” also tackles difficult questions not only about the position of Jews\, but also other non-Muslim populations in Istanbul and Turkey more broadly — especially Greeks. \nHow does the show depict controversial historical moments\, such as the Varlık Vergisi affair\, a capital tax imposed by the Turkish state on non-Muslims in 1942\, and the “Events of September 6-7\,” riots in 1955 targeting Istanbul’s non-Muslims? \nWhat social\, political\, and cultural factors help explain the emergence of such a poignant depiction of mid-century Istanbul in the 21st century? \nThese questions\, and many more\, will be addressed by the panel of experts. \nA recorded interview in Turkish (with English subtitles) with “Kulüp” writer Rana Denizer conducted by Melike Yücel-Koç (University of Washington) will also be screened at the event. \nAbout the panelists\n\n Rana Denizer’s family story is the inspiration for “Kulüp.” She began sharing her story first with friends\, then on her blog and Twitter under the pseudonym Ranini. She is a lead writer for “Kulüp.” \n  \n  \nReşat Kasaba (University of Washington)\, Anne H.H. and Kenneth B.

Kasaba served as the director of the UW’s Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies for 10 years\, completing his tenure in June 2020. He is currently researching history of U.S. foreign policy in Turkey\, and the political consequences of rural-urban divide in modern Turkey. \nChristine Philliou (University of California\, Berkeley) is Professor in the Department of History and Director of the Programs in Modern Greek/Hellenic Studies and Ottoman/Turkish Studies at UC Berkeley. She is the author of two books: Biography of an Empire: Governing Ottomans in an Age of Revolution (University of California Press\, 2011; Greek edition Alexandria Press\, 2021; Turkish edition İş Bankası Kültür Press\, 2022) and Turkey: A Past Against History (University of California Press\, 2021; Greek edition Alexandria Press\, 2022). Philliou is currently working on a third book and developing a collaborative digital humanities project\, the aim of which is a granular reconstruction and analysis of the Greek Orthodox communities of late Ottoman Istanbul/Constantinople (1821-1923) using a wide range of Ottoman and Greek sources. \nAron Rodrigue (Stanford University) is the Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History and Burke Family Director of the Bing Overseas Studies Program at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:4/12 TALK | The Rise of Modern Vernacular Hebrew: How Language Shapes Identity (and Vice Versa)
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, linguist Ivy Sichel will discuss the rise of modern vernacular Hebrew in the 1950s and related ideas — how using particular language variety can influence its speakers\, and how speakers make the language their own. \nWatch the talk now: \n \nAbout this talk\n\nHow did the modern vernacular variety of Hebrew — the informal\, everyday version of the language — come to eclipse the prestigious prescriptive variety of Hebrew to become the standard? How does value accrue to particular varieties of a language? \nIn this talk\, Ivy Sichel will analyze the social meanings associated with the new native vernacular of Modern Hebrew\, taking a positive stance towards the new native vernacular\, which is constructed via differentiation from its alternatives (formal or text-based Hebrew). \nThe new vernacular is reflexive\, and it speaks for itself with the authority of experience\, as opposed to the traditional authority of the text. A speaker of modern vernacular Hebrew necessarily\, and often unknowingly\, possesses a positive attitude towards it\, and is an active agent in the propagation of a new collective (of speakers) and its values. \nThe talk will explore this type of subjectivity\, and the ways in which speakers participate in the dissemination of a collective set of ideas about the modern vernacular. \nThe talk will also explore the consolidation and dissemination of these values by particular individuals\, with a focus on Ma Nishma\, a weekly column written in Modern Hebrew published in the 1950s. \nEvent image from the “World Dictionary of Hebrew Slang\,” written by Netiva Ben-Yehuda and Dan Ben-Amotz and published in 1982. Via the Jewish Women’s Archive. \nAbout the speaker\n\nIvy Sichel is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Her work focuses on syntactic theory. She is also interested in the sociolinguistics of the revival of Hebrew speech\, and has written about women’s contributions to the revival project at the turn of the 20th century (with Miri Bar-Ziv Levi)\, and about the relationship between the revival and the establishment of the State of Israel (with Uri Mor).
