    Paradigms of the Unknown

    PARADIGMS OF THE UNKNOWN TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL HORIZONS IN CONTEMPORARY HUNGARIAN CRIME FICTION THESES Edit Dömötör Doctoral School: Hungarian Literature Leader of the Doctoral School: Zoltán Kenyeres DSc. Doctoral Programme: Contemporary Hungarian Literature Leader of the Doctoral Programme: Tamás Tarján CSc. Consultant : Tamás Tarján CSc. Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Humanities Budapest, 2008 The Object, the Goal and the Theoretical Framework of the Research The object of the dissertation is the approach of contemporary Hungarian crime fiction from an epistemological and a reader-response critical point of view, and, furthermore, the examination of the shifts in the epistemological horizons and in the discourses of crime. Foregrounding the process of cognition provides the opportunity to study this genre in a wider cultural and historical context along the issues of the historical constructions of observation and seeing, reading, the closely related concepts of space, time and narrative, the secret, the accessibility of the past and the medial conditioning of the possibilities of ”fixing” the criminal. The ”models” of observation (Crary) are inseparable from the reorganization of knowledge, i.e. from the fact that thay provide diverse modes of cognition. The dissertation formulates the paradigms of investigation in crime fiction on the basis of epistemological, semiotical and reader-response critical considerations. In addition, it presents their (re)interpretations in various and diverse initiatives in contemporary Hungarian literature. The goal of studying the epistemological paradigms of investigation carries the methodological consequence that, in order to clarify the modes of posing these problems, the dissertation involves, besides contemporary Hungarian literature, foreign, older Hungarian and also works enforcing other generic codes.

    2006 Abstracts

    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

    Coming to Grips with the Shoah in Hebrew Fiction

    Coming to grips with the Shoah in Hebrew fiction Dvir Abramovich (The University of Melbourne) The first woman to become a full member of the Academy of the Hebrew Language and Winner of the Prime Minister’s Creativity Prize in 1971 for her novel Ir Yamim Rabim (City of Many Days), Shulamith Hareven was one of Israel’s pre-eminent authors. Over forty years, her finely tuned plots and perceptive, intimate portraits of lonely frayed individuals, as well as her commitment to civil rights, had earned her the respect of readers and critics alike. As a matter of fact, in a 1992 New York Times article Hareven was acclaimed as achieving, “a level of success and acceptance among the literary elite in Israel known by no other woman”.1 Likewise, she was hailed by the French publication L'Express as one of the hundred women “who moved the world”, and in 1988, on the occasion of Israel’s fortieth anniversary she was selected by the Council of Women’s Organisation as one of eleven women to be honoured for their extraordinary achievement.2 Shulamith Hareven was born in Warsaw, Poland on 14 February 1930. Her father Abraham Ryftin was a lawyer and her mother Natalia Wiener was a teacher. She published her first poems in a Polish children’s magazine when she was six. Her parents escaped Poland and travelled throughout Europe using fake documents until they arrived in Palestine in 1940, settling in Jerusalem. She studied at the Rehavia Secondary school, graduating in 1947. A member of the Haganah3, she served as a medic during the 1948 War of Independence and later was one of the founders of Galei Tzahal, the Israeli Defence Forces radio network.

    Lyric and Ideology in Shulamith Hareven's Short Stories 1

    IN THOSE DAYS AND AT THIS TIME: LYRIC AND IDEOLOGY IN SHULAMITH HAREVEN'S SHORT STORIES 1 by YUDITH NAVE Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 0218 J Shulamith Hareven is one of the finest Israeli contemporary writers whose journalistic writings are a sincere and continuous attempt to instill human and national values and to fight anything that endangers them. For more than three decades Hareven has been regularly publishing essays in the most influential newspapers in Israel, selections from which were published in two books, The Dolcinea Syndrome ( 1981) and Messiah or Parliament (1987). Hareven's writings reflect her strong belief in Zionism as the only political solution for the Jewish people, and in socialism and constitutional democracy as the best systems to secure human rights. Since the establishment of the state of Israel she has been fighting for civil rights and human dignity for Jews and Arabs. In 1973 she became an active member of the Peace Now movement. Hareven's literary works stem both from these didactic goals and from her personal life experiences. The few biographical details published about her are summarized by Kresse! (1965, p. 626) in two laconic sen­ tences: "Hareven (maiden name: Riftin) was born in Warsaw in 1931. She was brought to Israel with her parents in 1940 and was educated in Jerusalem." Approximately three years ago, she was asked in an inter­ view by Haim Chertok (l 989, p. 77) to describe her upbringing. Hareven I. All emphases are mine unless noted otherwise.

Many authors throughout the centuries have seen fit to revise the biblical text: creating a literary genre that is in this paper termed “rewritten Bible.” Maxine Grossman’s literary critical method, as advocated in Reading for History in the Damascus Document: A Methodological Method, helps us to understand the different types of meaning that can be created from a text, including meaning that is created outside the intent of the author, as it is in the genre of rewritten Bible.
