Ari Hoffman Dissertation Advisor: Professor Elisa New Professor Amanda Claybaugh This Year in Jerusalem: Israel and the Literary Quest for Jewish Authenticity This dissertation investigates how Israel is imagined as a literary space and setting in contemporary literature. Israel is a specific place with delineated borders, and is also networked to a whole galaxy of conversations where authenticity plays a crucial role. Israel generates authenticity in uniquely powerful ways because of its location at the nexus of the imagined and the concrete. While much attention has been paid to Israel as a political and ethnographic/ demographic subject, its appearance on the map of literary spaces has been less thoroughly considered.

  • Name: Tony Zale Alias: Man of Steel Birth Name: Anthony Florian Zaleski
    Name: Tony Zale Alias: Man of Steel Birth Name: Anthony Florian Zaleski Born: 1914-05-29 Birthplace: Gary, Indiana, USA Died: 1997-03-20 (Age:82) Nationality: US American Hometown: Chicago, Illinois, USA Stance: Orthodox Height: 5′ 7½″ / 171cm Reach: 69″ / 175cm Boxing Record: click Tony Zale (May 29, 1913 - March 20, 1997) (real name Anthony Florian Zaleski) "the man of steel" was an American boxer. Zale was born and raised in Gary, Indiana, a steel town, which gave him his nickname. In addition, he had the reputation of being able to take fearsome punishment and still rally to win, reinforcing that nickname. Zale was known as a strong body puncher, who punished his opponents and steadily wore them down before knocking them out. He was a 2-time world middleweight champion and made the Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time. Zale is best remembered for his three bouts over a 21 month period with Rocky Graziano for the middleweight crown. These three bouts were among the most brutal and exciting middleweight championship matches of all time. The first match took place in Yankee Stadium, New York. Zale had served in World War II, was thirty-three years old, and had been inactive for about four years. Graziano was on a winning knockout streak and seemed to be in his prime. In their first match (September 27, 1946), after flooring Graziano in the first round, Zale took a savage beating from Graziano, and was on the verge of losing the fight by TKO. However, he rallied and knocked out Graziano in the sixth round to retain his title.

    Give Me A “Ball Park Figure”: Creating Civic Narratives Through Stadium Building in Newark, New Jersey By Laura T. Troiano A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in American Studies Program Written under the direction of Beryl Satter And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Laura T. Troiano ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Give Me A “Ball Park Figure”: Creating Civic Narratives Through Stadium Building in Newark, NJ By Laura T. Troiano Dissertation Director: Beryl Satter I came to this project interested in the question, what can narratives about baseball stadiums reveal about the development of Newark, NJ spanning the twentieth century? From this question arose an exploration of narratives that offered insight into competing interests within the city, definitions of civicness, the employment of nostalgia as an argumentative strategy, and how urban development plans are constructed and sold to citizens. The primary focus of this history is centered on two baseball stadiums in Newark, NJ, Ruppert Stadium, built in 1926 and demolished in 1967 and Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium, completed in 1999, sold in 2016, and is now slated to be replaced with mixed use retail space and condominiums. The narratives fashioned to support both stadiums construction and maintenance are strikingly similar. For both stadiums, for over a century, Newark mayors, councilmen, successful businessmen, community organizers, newspaper columnists and reporters, and local citizens all craft, repurpose, and used these civic narratives to further their own varied agendas.

  • George Weiss Was Named Farm Director of the Yankees
    National Baseball Hall of Fame Library George M. Weiss Scrapbooks, 1914-1971. BA SCR 61 v. 1-38 Abstract The George M. Weiss scrapbooks are comprised of 38 chronologically-arranged scrapbooks detailing the career of Weiss as well as a history of the teams that he ran. The first baseball executive voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Weiss is often perceived as an extremely successful, yet cold, callous man. Though the collection does not necessarily dispute this, it does downplay Weiss’ adverse personal side, concentrating instead on his phenomenal success as a baseball executive. The scrapbooks consist of: newspaper and magazine clippings; original and reproduced cartoons; letters, invitations, and greeting cards; telegrams; original and reproduced photographs (color and black and white); box scores; schedules; rosters; team yearbooks, press guides, programs, and scorecards; pamphlets; press releases; brochures; tickets; clubhouse and parking passes; press credential tags; identification buttons, ribbons, and stickers; business cards; radio scripts; menus; and a checkbook. As newspaper clippings make up the bulk of this collection, many prestigious local and national sports columnists are represented in these pages. These writers include Parke Carroll, Bill Corum, Arthur Daley, Dan Daniel, Ben Epstein, Frank Graham, Milton Gross, Barney Kremenko, Dan Parker, Westbrook Pegler, Jimmy Powers, J. Lester Scott, Red Smith, Joe Williams, and Dick Young. The collection, however, consists of far more than just clippings; there is more than a fair share of correspondence, original photographs, and ephemera which was lovingly and carefully collected (possibly by Weiss’ long-time secretary, Betty King). The end result is a detailed chronicle of Weiss and his work.

  • Memory and Baseball in Newark, NJ
    Everybody’s Neighborhood Stadium: Memory and Baseball in Newark, NJ Laura Troiano Rutgers University, Newark It starts with a shout, “You have to be kidding me!” Then another, “What! No way!” Then you hear from the upper deck something that is R-rated. The decibel level increases, it is ascending rapidly, soon the noise blankets the whole stadium and in that moment it could not be clearer, in all the variations of words encircling the stadium there’s agreement, the umpire is legally blind. There is no universe where a man with sight would call him safe at second. Something happens when you are in a stadium. It’s as if the outside world is suspended and life’s concerns shift. Here, you live and die by the swing of a bat, the arm of a pitcher, the glove of a fielder, and the eyes, 20/20 or not, of the umpires. On what was once a meadow situated on the lowlands bordering the Passaic River in the Ironbound section of Newark, a neighborhood defined by its railroad tracks and industrial buildings, and also for its primarily European immigrant inhabitants, on that lot of land there was a baseball stadium.1 From 1936 to 1948 this stadium was home to two minor league baseball teams; the Newark Bears, an all white New York Yankee farm team and the Newark Eagles, a member of the Negro Leagues. It was inaugurated as Davids Stadium, it had a short stint as Bears Stadium, and it finally settled on Ruppert Stadium. In the era of Jim Crow, in Newark, a city that is often defined by racial unrest, Ruppert Stadium was shared space.
