  • Jewish Behavior During the Holocaust
    VICTIMS’ POLITICS: JEWISH BEHAVIOR DURING THE HOLOCAUST by Evgeny Finkel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 07/12/12 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Yoshiko M. Herrera, Associate Professor, Political Science Scott G. Gehlbach, Professor, Political Science Andrew Kydd, Associate Professor, Political Science Nadav G. Shelef, Assistant Professor, Political Science Scott Straus, Professor, International Studies © Copyright by Evgeny Finkel 2012 All Rights Reserved i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been written without the encouragement, support and help of many people to whom I am grateful and feel intellectually, personally, and emotionally indebted. Throughout the whole period of my graduate studies Yoshiko Herrera has been the advisor most comparativists can only dream of. Her endless enthusiasm for this project, razor- sharp comments, constant encouragement to think broadly, theoretically, and not to fear uncharted grounds were exactly what I needed. Nadav Shelef has been extremely generous with his time, support, advice, and encouragement since my first day in graduate school. I always knew that a couple of hours after I sent him a chapter, there would be a detailed, careful, thoughtful, constructive, and critical (when needed) reaction to it waiting in my inbox. This awareness has made the process of writing a dissertation much less frustrating then it could have been. In the future, if I am able to do for my students even a half of what Nadav has done for me, I will consider myself an excellent teacher and mentor.

  • The Social Life of Slurs
    The Social Life of Slurs Geoff Nunberg School of Information, UC Berkeley Jan. 22, 2016 To appear in Daniel Fogal, Daniel Harris, and Matt Moss (eds.) (2017): New Work on Speech Acts (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press). Chaque mot a son histoire. —Jules Gilliéron A Philological Caution The Emergence of Slurs We wear two hats when we talk about slurs, as engaged citizens and as scholars of language. The words had very little theoretical interest for philosophy or linguistic semantics before they took on a symbolic role in the culture wars that broke out in and around the academy in the 1980s.1 But once scholars’ attention was drawn to the topic, they began to discern connections to familiar problems in meta-ethics, semantics, and the philosophy of language. The apparent dual nature of the words—they seem both to describe and to evaluate or express— seemed to make them an excellent test bed for investigations of non-truth-conditional aspects of meaning, of certain types of moral language, of Fregean “coloring,” and of hybrid or “thick” terms, among other things. There are some writers who take slurs purely as a topical jumping-off point for addressing those issues and don’t make any explicit effort to bring their discussions back to the social questions that drew scholars’ attention to the words in the first place. But most seem to feel that their research ought to have some significance beyond the confines of the common room. That double perspective can leave us a little wall-eyed, as we try to track slurs as both a social and linguistic phenomenon.

  • Or Politics Matters the Book of Esther
    1 Esther is not Yester… or Politics Matters The Book of Esther: A New Interpretation Robert Case Faith Presbyterian Church, Tacoma, WA 2017 Introduction “Lawrence of Arabia Overture” “Lawrence of Arabia Overture” was writing in l962 by Maurice Jarre for the Oscar winning movie, Lawrence of Arabia starring: Peter O'Toole, Anthony Quinn, Omar Shariff, Alec Guiness, Anthony Quail, Jack Hawkins and directed By David Lean. Considered by some critics to be the greatest movie ever made, The movie is a 1962 epic historical drama film based on the life of T. E. Lawrence. The film was nominated for ten Oscars in 1963; it won seven. The film depicts Lawrence's experiences in the Arabian Peninsula during World War I, in particular his attacks on Aqaba and Damascus and his involvement in the Arab National Council. Its themes include Lawrence's emotional struggles with the personal violence inherent in war, his own identity, and his divided allegiance between his native Britain and its army and his new-found comrades within the Arabian desert tribes. In 1991, Lawrence of Arabia was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry. The overture is played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Maurice Jarre wrote all the music for Lawrence and won his first Oscar. His second collaboration with David Lean on Doctor Zhivago in 1965 earned him another Oscar. He collaborated with Lean again on Ryan's Daughter in 1970 and A Passage to India in 1984 for which he received his third Academy Award.

Many white people find it difficult to find the Terms such as ‘Nigger’, ‘Wop’, ‘Coon’, words for discussing racial issues. Sometimes ‘Gyppo’, ‘Wog’, ‘Yid’, ‘Dago’, ‘Paki’, ‘Kike’ and they are afraid of using particular words for ‘Paddy’ were and are racist in intent and fear of offending someone and saying hurtful to the recipient.

  • The Judgment of Shomer, by Sholem Aleichem
    The Judgment of Shomer or The Jury Trial of All of Shomer’s Novels Transcribed word for word by Sholem Aleichem Translated from the Yiddish and annotated by Justin Cammy Berdichev Jacob Sheftil, Publisher 1888 Strike the capitals so that the thresholds quake.1 (Amos 9:1) Fleece the flock and the lambs tremble. (Yiddish proverb) My thanks to Alan Astro and Avraham Novershtern for their assistance on questions of translation. Olga Litvak, Alyssa Quint, Dara Horn, and Ernest Benz were kind enough to read a draft of the translation and to offer their advice. Titles of works mentioned by Sholem Aleichem first appear both in Yiddish transliteration and in my English trans- lation; subsequent mention of the same work appears only in translation. I preserved Sholem Aleichem’s editorial decision to have Shomer’s name appear in bold through- out the text. [JC] 1. The full verse reads: “I saw my Lord standing by the altar and He said: Strike the capitals so that the thresholds quake, and make an end of the first of them all. And I will slay the last of them with the sword; not one of them shall escape, and not one of them shall survive.” (Jewish Publication Society translation) 129 130 SHOLEM ALEICHEM / CAMMY In a large hall, at the head of a green table, sits the presiding judge, an old man. Two other magistrates are seated on either side. The prosecutor, an irascible young man with fiery eyes, is seated on one side, to the left, at a small table. The defense counsel, a good-natured, spirited young man, is opposite him, to the right, also at a small table.
