SUMMARY:2/5 | Bad Jews: Bad for the Jews? Sex\, Shame and Moral Policing in Argentine Jewish History with Mir Yarfitz
DESCRIPTION:How did twentieth century Argentine Jewish organizations view sexual morality? And how did these views impact the broader Jewish community? Hear guest lecturer Mir Yarfitz discuss this and more. \nRegister Now >\nAbout the event\n\nFearful not only of shame in front of non-Jews\, but violent reprisals\, Jewish leaders and institutions have often tried to keep dirty laundry indoors. In early twentieth century Argentina\, as the Jewish population became one of the largest in the world\, the Zwi Migdal\, a mutual aid and burial society of several hundred Ashkenazi Jews\, became infamous for moving thousands of Jewish sex workers across the Atlantic to brothels in South America. “Respectable” Jews battled this organization for decades\, and in later years continued public conflicts over other aspects of sexual morality\, raising debates about protecting Jews from antisemitism and from one another. \nRegister for the event > \nThis event is co-sponsored by UW’s Latin American and Caribbean Studies program \nAbout the speaker\n\n \nMir Yarfitz has lived in each of the four corners of the US as well as South and Central America. His enthusiasm for Latin America grew from his college study abroad experience in Nicaragua\, a Fulbright in Argentina\, and work with migrant farmworker labor unions in Washington\, Oregon\, and Georgia. His teaching and research interests include Latin American cultural production\, social movements\, dictatorships and resistance\, racial hierarchies\, migration\, gender\, sexuality\,  masculinity\, and transgender studies. His current research explores what might fruitfully be framed as trans lives in Argentina from 1900 to 1945\, as part of the larger development of archivally-based trans studies. His 2019 Rutgers University Press book  “Impure Migrations: Jews and Sex Work in Golden Age Argentina”\, historicizes immigrant Ashkenazi Jews in organized prostitution in Buenos Aires between the 1890s and 1930s and in broader transnational flows of sex workers and moral opposition. In addition to publishing in the fields of Latin American trans studies\, sex work history\, and Jewish studies\, he has written collaboratively with a team of Wake Forest Librarians about their experiences in cooperative pedagogy and ungrading\, including creating a zine together about the books (and zines) their students have written. He is a 2023 Kulynych Family Omicron Delta Kappa Award winner\, selected by students for bridging “the gap between the classroom and student life.”

SUMMARY:2/19 | Translating Freud: Psychoanalysis in the Popular Jewish Press with Naomi Seidman
DESCRIPTION:Guest lecturer Naomi Seidman will take us inside  “the Freud craze” to explore the impact Freud’s work had on Eastern European Jews. \nRegister Now >\nAbout the event\nThe Austrian journalist Karl Kraus reportedly quipped\, “Psychoanalysis is the disease of assimilated Jews; Eastern European Jews make do with diabetes.” And yet\, Eastern European Jews were fascinated by Freud and psychoanalysis\, flocking to lectures on the subject and following Freud’s life and career with curiosity and enthusiasm. This lecture will trace “the Freud craze” in the burgeoning Hebrew and Yiddish press of the interwar period\, when readers eagerly sought information about “the most famous Jew in the world\,” and journalists and others were compelled to actively translate psychoanalytic terminology from German into Jewish languages. \nRegister for the event > \nPhoto credit: Nancy Rosenblum/Frisco Graphics \n\nAbout the speaker\nNaomi Seidman is the  Chancellor Jackman Professor of the Arts in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies at the University of Toronto. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2016\, and a National Jewish Book Award in 2019. Her writings include the 2006 Faithful Renderings: Jewish—Christian Difference and the Politics of Difference\, The Marriage Plot\, Or\, How Jews Fell in Love with Love\, and with Literature (2016) and the 2019 Sarah Schenirer and the Bais Yaakov Movement: A Revolution in the Name of Tradition. Her podcast\, “Heretic in the House\,” was released in 2022. Translating the Jewish Freud (2024) is her fifth book.\n \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Simpson Center for the Humanities Translation Studies Hub
