University of Illinois Modern Foreign Language Newsletter 405 Q Ul v. 23-27 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://www.archive.org/details/universityofilli2327univ UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY AJ URSANA-CHAMPAIGN Twnfc &w* ' THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGE NEWSLETTER October, 1969 Director: Prof. Anthony M. Pasquariello Vol. XXIII, No. 1 Editor: Maxwell Reed Mowry, Jr. Dear Colleagues: In this first issue of the 23rd year of the University of Illinois Modern Foreign Language Newsletter, it is my privilege to send greetings to readers and colleagues throughout the state and to wish you all a successful year. A special welcome this year goes to Prof. Anthony M. Pasquariello, who on Sept. 1 assumed the headship of the Dept. of Spanish, Italian, & Portuguese at the U.I. He will also serve as Director of the Newsletter. He succeeds Prof. William H. Shoemaker in both capacities. At this point it would seem appropriate to salute Prof o Shoemaker for his long service both as department head and as Director of the Newsletter. All of his colleagues and friends will join me, I am sure, in thanking him and wishing him well. Two professors return to the Urbana campus after a year's sojourn in Europe. They are Prof. Francois Jost, who returns to direct again the Graduate Program in Comparative Literature, and Prof. Bruce Mainous, returning to his post as Head of the Dept. of French. Prof. Mainous spent the past year in Rouen, France, as Director of the Illinois-Iowa Year-Abroad Program; Prof. Jost spent a sabbatical year in Switzerland under the auspices of the Center for Advanced Study and also lectured at the Univ. of Innsbruck during the summer of 1969. We welcome them back, and also welcome Prof. Philip M. Mitchell as Acting Head of the Dept. of Germanic Languages & Literature during the coming year. He replaces Prof. Harry G. Haile, who is on sabbatical leave during 1969-70 in Vienna. More detailed reports on the activities of these gentlemen will be found in the Notes of the various departments and programs. Our best wishes also go to Maxwell Reed Mowry, Jr., the new Editor of the Newsletter. What will the coming year bring for us in the field of foreign language teaching? Last year at the U.I. we witnessed a strong movement to eliminate or at least to modify drastically the 2-year undergraduate foreign language requirement. A series of faculty meetings were held in the early spring of 1969 out of which emerged changes and a certain relaxation of former requirements. As an example, incoming freshmen are no longer required to complete their foreign language as early as possible. They may now postpone embarking on their college-level foreign language study to suit their convenience as long as they complete the requirement by the end of their I4. years. This relaxation of requirements is undoubtedly re- flected in my own department by a rather significant decrease (30$) in lst-year Russian enrollments. Another loosening of former requirements has been the decision to permit students to interrupt their sequence of language courses at their own option. Formerly, students were not permitted to do so except under very special circumstances. Perhaps the most significant changes in store for us will be those reflected in recommendations emerging from last spring's meetings that the l+th semester of the 2-year foreign language sequence be, if not completely eliminated, at least seriously overhauled and diversified. Departments have been requested to provide alternate tracks to suit individual student needs instead of the now-existing uni- form l;th-semester courses. Suggested options are such diverse courses (or sets of courses) as conversation courses, specialized technical or scientific reading courses, literary reading courses, culture and civilization courses, etc. In some cases the option suggested is that the readings be in the foreign language, but the discussion be in English. Needless to say, most of the foreign language departments are now in the process of reevaluating their l;th-semester offerings and preparing -2- new ones. Some, like the French Dept., have already established new courses along the lines suggested above. Whatever the long-range effect of the changes that face us, we look forward to an exciting year. May yours be both exciting and profitable. Clayton L. Dawson, Head Dept. of Slavic Languages & Literatures PROP. ANTHONY M. PASQUARIELLO It is a great pleasure to begin the Newsletter for 1969-70 with a welcome to its new Director and the new Head of the U.I. Dept. of Spanish, Italian, & Portuguese, Prof. Anthony M. Pasquariello, and to his wife Dorothy. Mr. Pasquariello, a native New Yorker, holds his B.A. from Brooklyn College, his M.A. from Columbia, and his Ph.D. from the Univ. of Mich. He has taught at the Univ. of Mich., at the Univ. of Colo., and at Penn. State Univ. He was also Chair- man of the Dept. of Spanish, Italian, & Portuguese, both at Colorado (I963-6I4.) and at Penn. State (1961+-69). His publications, teaching, and other academic activities, many and varied, range from pedagogy and methodology to several areas of specialization in liter- ature; among the latter; the 19th and 20th centuries in Spain, the picaresque novel, the colonial period in Spanish America, and especially the theatre--an interest which, in 1967, led Prof. Pasquariello to found Modern International Drama , which he will continue to co-edit. Those of us who know Mr. Pasquariello have always appreciated his many personal qualities; we are indeed fortunate to have him at Illinois. The Spanish Dept. of Champaign-Urbana, much to the credit of Mr. Pasquariello' s predecessor, Prof, Shoe- maker, and of many dedicated colleagues, is one of the best in the country. We can look forward with confidence to a continuing record of excellence under Prof, Pas- quariello. Welcome to Illinois. Edwin Jahiel FLA CONFERENCE The 3rd annual U.I.

She encounters a highly unconventional 95 year-old in an apartment full of books, roses and memories – with a life story that mirrors the last century. Hilde Domin, born in 1909, tells openly about her turbulent and troubled life: of her child- hood as an assimilated Jewess in Cologne, of more than two decades spent in exile, of the return to post-war Germany and her late career as a writer.

In conversation with forty-five first- and second-generation Russian intellectuals who relocated from Russia and the former Soviet Union, the researcher investigates transnational Russian identity through ethnographic, auto-ethnographic, and visual anthropology methods. Educated migrants from Russia who shared with the researcher a comparable epistemic universe and experiential perspective, and who were themselves experts on migration, discuss what it means to belong to global transnational diasporas, how they position themselves in historical contexts of migration, and what they hope to contribute to modern intellectual migrant narratives.

It is also one of the oldest Ashkenazi Jewish surnames. Germans with the last name Katz may originate in the Rhine River region of Germany, where the Katz Castle is located. (The name of the castle does not derive from Katze, cat, but from Katzenelnbogen, going back to Latin Cattimelibocus, consisting of the ancient Germanic tribal name of the Chatti and Melibokus.) Katzman, deriving from the German Katz, is a Slavic name meaning high priest or king. It is believed the Katzman surname originates from Germany and has roots from there as well. As a Jewish surname, Katz is an abbreviation formed from the Hebrew initials of the term Kohen Tzedeq (Hebrew: meaning "priest of justice"/"authentic priest" or Kohen Tzadok meaning the name-bearer is of patrilineal ,(כּ״ץ descent of the Kohanim sons of Zadok.

  • The Literary Fate of Marina Tsve Taeva, Who in My View Is One Of
    A New Edition of the Poems of Marina Tsve taeva1 he literary fate of Marina Tsvetaeva, who in my view is one of the T most remarkable Russian poets of the twentieth century, took its ultimate shape sadly and instructively. The highest point of Tsve taeva’s popularity and reputation during her lifetime came approximately be- tween 1922 and 1926, i.e., during her first years in emigration. Having left Russia, Tsve taeva found the opportunity to print a whole series of collec- tions of poetry, narrative poems, poetic dramas, and fairy tales that she had written between 1916 and 1921: Mileposts 1 (Versty 1), Craft (Remes- lo), Psyche (Psikheia), Separation (Razluka), Tsar-Maiden (Tsar’-Devitsa), The End of Casanova (Konets Kazanovy), and others. These books came out in Moscow and in Berlin, and individual poems by Tsve taeva were published in both Soviet and émigré publications. As a mature poet Tsve- taeva appeared before both Soviet and émigré readership instantly at her full stature; her juvenile collections Evening Album (Vechernii al’bom) and The Magic Lantern (Volshebnyi fonar’) were by that time forgotten. Her success with readers and critics alike was huge and genuine. If one peruses émigré journals and newspapers from the beginning of the 1920s, one is easily convinced of the popularity of Marina Tsve taeva’s poetry at that period. Her writings appeared in the Russian journals of both Prague and Paris; her arrival in Paris and appearance in February 1925 before an overflowing audience for a reading of her works was a literary event. Soviet critics similarly published serious and sympathetic reviews.

  • Mein Zerlesenstes Buch
    Reden, Vorträge und Berichte . Mein zerlesenstes Buch Ein Dank an Hilde Domin Andreas F. Kelletat Wenn ich am Regal Ausschau halte nach jenem Buch, das nicht nur mehrfach gelesen sondern wirklich "zerlesen" ist, so gebührt dieser Lektürepreis einem von Hilde Domin Mitte der 60er Jahre konzipierten und umsichtig zusammengetragenen Band mit dem Titel Doppelinterpretationen. Das zeitgenössische deutsche Gedicht zwischen Autor und Leser. Die Fischer-Taschenbuchausgabe dieser Doppelinterpretationen kaufte ich 1972, als 17jähriger Schüler. Und lernte - auch später noch - sehr viel aus diesen Gedichten der 50er und 60er Jahre, die jeweils vom Autor selbst (von Peter Huchel, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Christoph Meckel oder Helmut Mader u.v.a.) und von einem Leser interpretiert wurden. Wobei es sich freilich um sehr professionelle Leser handelte, die Hilde Domin da zu "Interpretations-Doubletten" zusammengebracht hatte: Dichter wiederum und Kritiker und berühmte Germanisten und sogar der Heidelberger Philosoph Hans-Georg Gadamer, der sich auf Hilde Domins Lied zur Ermutigung II einließ. Der Hauptertrag des Zerlesens war für mich als Schüler: Gedichte kann man auf vielerlei Art lesen und zu verstehen suchen, es gibt nicht jene einzig "richtige" Interpretation, die wir in der Schule doch immer abliefern sollten. Und: Es kommt auf mich als Leser an, auf meine Mitarbeit - erst dann erschließt sich ein Gedicht und auch erst dann erschließt sich die Interpretation eines Gedichts. Hilde Domin scheint mir seit meiner ersten Lektüre Anfang der 70er eine Dichterin für junge Menschen zu sein. Das liegt vielleicht weniger an ihren Themen (denn die sind sehr vielfältig) und an ihrem entschiedenen Engagement für Verfolgte, Schwache und Zurückgestoßene als an einer Grundhaltung, über die sie in autobiographischen Texten selbst mehrfach gesprochen hat: Dass sie etwa Dinge sagt, die "man nicht sagt", dass sie gesellschaftliche Konventionen immer wieder schmerz- und lustvoll durchbricht, dass sie - um es modisch zu formulieren - eine authentische Existenz vorlebt.
