Each person brings gifts, skills, and strengths to shape our endeavor. Thanks to administrative assistant Margaret Hillard for her attentive supervision of infra- structure systems through the Center’s exponential expansion and for the superior standard of efficiency she has set; to program manager Dr. Tatyana Macaulay for her commitment and passion which produce bold, exciting, and perfectly organized events as well as fruitful collaborations with other educational organizations; and to bookkeeper Ghi Vaughn who has wrapped her arms around a complex financial system and keeps us in the clear. A special welcome to Dr. Mary Jane Rein, who has joined the Center as executive director, and brings new energy and ideas to this engaged and active community. I thank, too, my colleagues in other departments who generously mentor our doctoral stu- dents. This past year, Clark professors Eric Gordy, Beverly Grier, Walter Schatzberg, and Jaan Valsiner served as key advisors to Center graduate students. They were joined by colleagues at other universities: Evan Bukey; Barbara Harff; Cynthia Hooper; Sam Kassow; Ellen Kellman; Eric Markusen; Robert Melson; Milton Shain; Robert Jan van Pelt; Eric Weitz; and Piotr Wrobel.

  • 1 / Isaak Babelʹ: a Brief Life
    1 / Isaak Babelʹ: A Brief Life Beginnings Neither Babelʹ’s “Autobiography,” written in 1924 to gain ideological credentials as a “Soviet” writer, nor the so-called autobiographical stories, which Babelʹ intended to collect under the title Story of My Dovecote (История моей голубятни) strictly relate to the facts, but they are illuminating for the construction of the writer’s identity as someone who hid his highly individual personality behind the mask of a Soviet writer who had broken with his bourgeois Jewish past. Babelʹ’s father, for example, was not an impoverished shopkeeper, but a dealer in agricultural machinery, though not a particularly successful businessman. Emmanuel Itskovich, born in Belaia Tserkovʹ, was a typical merchant who had worked his way up and set up his own business.1 Babelʹ’s mother, Fenia (neé Shvekhvelʹ), as Nathalie Babel has testified, was quite unlike the Rachel of the Childhood stories. About his book of Childhood stories, Story of My Dovecote, Babelʹ wrote his family: “The subjects of the stories are all taken from my childhood, but, of course, there is much that has been made up and changed. When the book is finished, it will be clear why I had to do all that.”2 But then the fantasies of the untruthful boy in the story “In the Basement” (“В подвале”) do inject a kind of poetic truth into the real lives of his crazy grandfather, a disgraced rabbi from Belaia Tserkovʹ, and his drunken uncle Simon-Wolf. Despite the necessary post-revolutionary revision of biography carried out by many writers, nothing could be more natural than Hebrew, the Bible, and Talmud being taught at home by a melamed, or part-time tutor.
