Academic Studies Press Academic Studies Press Catalog 2015 — Spring 2016 n 2015–2016, Academic Studies Press is pleased to launch a number of new series. “Ukrainian Studies,” headed by Vitaly Chernetsky (University of Kansas), seeks to carve out new arenas in I Ukrainian studies and develop and improve existing ones, welcoming both traditional approaches as well as innovative frameworks that experiment with scholarly forms. “Polish Studies,” under the editorship of Halina Filipowicz (University of Wisconsin – Madison), aims to showcase the richness of Polish studies in the twenty-first century, seeking fresh insights and charting new directions in the field. “The Unknown Nineteenth Century,” headed by Joe Peschio (University of Wisconsin –Milwaukee), uncovers new literary facts in the history of nineteenth-century Russian literature, even in the most familiar of places. Under the guidance of David Bethea (University of Wisconsin – Madison), “Liber Primus” provides a rigorous venue for authors who are publishing their first monograph. “Film and Media Studies,” edited by Elena Prokhorova and Alexander Prokhorov (both from College of William and Mary), presents a lively scholarly dialogue on a wide range of topics within film and media studies, focusing on the cinema and media culture of Eastern Europe, Russia, the Caucuses, and Central Asia in regional and global contexts. Finally, “Studies in Comparative Literature and Intellectual History,” led by Galin Tihanov (Queen Mary University of London), features publications on non-Western literatures, cultural theory, and intellectual history, although mainstream European and North American developments are also part of its editorial program. In 2015, ASP has added to its collection many important titles. Among these, Russian Silver Age: Texts and Contexts, edited by Sibelan E. S. Forrester and Martha M. F. Kelly, introduces the poetry, manifestoes, experimentation, and debates of the Russian Silver Age, meticulously selected by Forrester and Kelly, who sometimes provide their own translations when suitable ones could not be found. Avi Sagi and Yakir Englander’s Sexuality and The Body in New Religious Zionist Discourse explores the discourse on the body and sexuality within religious-Zionism as it has developed in recent decades, including in cyberspace. Answering a Question with a Question: Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Jewish Thought (Volume 2)—A Tradition of Inquiry, edited by Lewis Aron and Libby Henik, brings together an international collection of contemporary scholars and clinicians to address the interface and mutual influence of Jewish thought and modern psychoanalysis—two traditions of inquiry.

  • Women and Hasidism: a “Non-Sectarian” Perspective
    Jewish History (2013) 27: 399–434 © The Author(s) 2013. This article is published DOI: 10.1007/s10835-013-9190-x with open access at Springerlink.com Women and Hasidism: A “Non-Sectarian” Perspective MARCIN WODZINSKI´ University of Wrocław, Wrocław, Poland E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Hasidism has often been defined and viewed as a sect. By implication, if Hasidism was indeed a sect, then membership would have encompassed all the social ties of the “sectari- ans,” including their family ties, thus forcing us to consider their mothers, wives, and daughters as full-fledged female hasidim. In reality, however, women did not become hasidim in their own right, at least not in terms of the categories implied by the definition of Hasidism as a sect. Reconsideration of the logical implications of the identification of Hasidism as a sect leads to a radical re-evaluation of the relationship between the hasidic movement and its female con- stituency, and, by extension, of larger issues concerning the boundaries of Hasidism. Keywords Hasidism · Eastern Europe · Gender · Women · Sectarianism · Family Introduction Beginning with Jewish historiography during the Haskalah period, through Wissenschaft des Judentums, to Dubnow and the national school, scholars have traditionally regarded Hasidism as a sect. This view had its roots in the earliest critiques of Hasidism, first by the mitnagedim and subsequently by the maskilim.1 It attributed to Hasidism the characteristic features of a sect, 1The term kat hahasidim (the sect of hasidim)orkat hamithasedim (the sect of false hasidim or sanctimonious hypocrites) appears often in the anti-hasidic polemics of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

  • Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers
    Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Harsha Ram, Chair Professor Irina Paperno Professor Yuri Slezkine Fall 2010 ABSTRACT Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Harsha Ram, Chair The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 reminded many that “Soviet” and “Russian” were not synonymous, but this distinction continues to be overlooked when discussing Soviet literature. Like the Soviet Union, Soviet literature was a consciously multinational, multiethnic project. This dissertation approaches Soviet literature in its broadest sense – as a cultural field incorporating texts, institutions, theories, and practices such as writing, editing, reading, canonization, education, performance, and translation. It uses archival materials to analyze how Soviet literary institutions combined Russia’s literary heritage, the doctrine of socialist realism, and nationalities policy to conceptualize the national literatures, a term used to define the literatures of the non-Russian peripheries. It then explores how such conceptions functioned in practice in the early 1930s, in both Moscow and Baku, the capital of Soviet Azerbaijan. Although the debates over national literatures started well before the Revolution, this study focuses on 1932-34 as the period when they crystallized under the leadership of the Union of Soviet Writers.

  • TURKIC LITERATURE Culha, Tulay, Phd
    TURKIC LITERATURE Culha, Tulay, PhD Course Description The aim of this course is to provide for an outline of the literature of the Turkic language peoples called “Turkish world” with its leading representatives. For the purpose of providing an account of the Turkish world, the fact that Turkic people have lived across a wide geography for centuries should be taken into account and it should be indicated within historical as well as contemporary context and additionally within the context of folk literature bearing the traces of a common culture. Within the context of this evaluation, as the historical and contemporary Turkish literature regarded as the literature of Turkish spoken in Turkey is an independent research subject on its own, it will be excluded from the scope of this course. About the Professor Tülay Çulha currently gives lectures as an associate professor in Modern Turkish Language of the Department of Turkish Language and Literature in Kocaeli University. The area of expertise of Dr. Çulha includes the Turkish World North-West (Kypchak) Turkish language and literature, especially Karaim Turkish and Literature and recently conducts academic research in this field.

Each chapter deals with the introduction of the representatives from the Turkish communities within the scope of each respective group whose language and literature is practically in use and concludes by the analyses of sample texts.

Given that the mitzvah of To: [email protected] Shabbos appears so many times in the chumash, why did the composers From: [email protected] of this brocho select these two sources above all of the others? The explanation given by Rav Chaim Soloveitchick is that all of the mitzvos that are singled out in the aseres ha'dibros had a special bris connected with them, and in the psukim of "v'shomru Bnei Yisroel es haShabbos..." we mention "bris olam", i.e. that Shabbos is different from most other mitzvos in that it was singled out to have its own bris.
