On Jews and Their Jokes 19 Al Gini* and Abraham Singer** Why’dYou HavetoChoose Us?OnJews and Their Jokes Abstract: Humor,laughter,joke telling can be frivolousfun or it could act as a sword and ashield to defend and protect us against life. Humor can, at times, illuminateifnot completelyexplain, some of the irresoluble problems and mys- teries thatindividuals face.And, if all else fails, humor can hold off our fear of the unanswerable and the unacceptable. Historicallyitcan be argued that during times of trial, tribulations, and suffering, Jewishcommunities and individuals have used humor as away to copewith and deal with reality. Keywords: pain, suffering, humor,and laughter Whoever has cried enough, laughs! —Heinrich Mann In the 1960s, the Jewish population in America was less than3%, but according to Time Magazine nearly80% of the top performingcomedians wereJewish. As one pundit put it: “ComedyinAmerica was aJewish cottageindustry!” (Menchin 1997, 12). Different from performers like Jackie Mason, Myron Cohen, Henny Youngman, Joan Rivers,and LennyBruce who openlyidentified with and poked fun at their Jewish heritage, most successful comedians Anglicized their names and crafted acomic persona and arepertoire of jokes that appealed to ageneral audience. Forexample: Jack Benny(Benjamin Kubelsky), George Burns (Nathan Bienhaum), JerryLewis (Jerome Levitch), RodneyDangerfield (Jacob Cohen),and Red Buttons (Aaron Chwatt). Today’scomedy scene is no lon- gerascompletelydominated by Jewish performers.But no-nonsense Jewish names are still major players in the world of show business:JerrySeinfeld, Paul Reiser,David Steinburg, LarryDavid, Marc Maron, Sacha Baron Cohen, AmySchumer,Sarah Silverman, Judd Apatow,Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan, Fran Drescher,and Vanessa Bayer. Giventhese names and numbers the trick question is: Are Jews predisposed to comedy?Answer: Geneticallypredisposed or programmedfor comedyand shtick,nowedon’tthink so. To claim that Jews, or anyethnic or racialgroup pos- sesses aspecific gene or cluster of comedic genes is, at best,dubious and cannot * Quinlan School of Business, Loyola University Chicago;[email protected] ** Quinlan School of Business, Loyola University Chicago;[email protected] https://doi.org/10.1515/phhumyb-2020-0005 18 Al Gini and AbrahamSinger be empiricallysubstantiated. But to the question: Are Jews historicallyand cul- turallypredisposed to comedy? The answer is an emphatic yes! Giventhe title and thesis of this book, we think that one otherquestion begs to be answered. “AreJewishcomics predisposed to satire?” After years of re- search on this topic, we’ve come up with aseries of very Jewish responses: “Yesand no!”“Sometimes!”“It happens!”“Every once in awhile!”“Not so much!”“Maybe?” And last,but not least, “Depends on the comic and the joke!” This, we think, is closest to the mark. Most,but not all Jewish humor and most Jewishcomics do not use satire in the waythatJon OliverorSamantha Beepreform their brand of comedy. But there’salways abit of biting satire and seething displeasure in the tone of voice, bodylanguage, and caustic comments of aJeff Garlin, Sandra Bernhard, or Marc Maron, for example. Overall, Jewishjokes tend to be sarcastic, cynical, complaining, kvetching, in nature. (Think Richard Lewis!) Jewish comics tell alot of “woe is me” types of jokes.WoodyAllen is amixtureofNietzschean melancholy, Freudian angst, and Humean skepticism. Mel Brooks,onthe other hand, is the cleverclown who uses over the top parodyand burlesque imitation to deliverhis comic point of view.But whether the type of humor is strictlysatirical, or “pie in the face” slapstick, much, if not all, Jewishhumor is an attempt to deal with the ba- nalities, mysteries, and horrors of life. JeremyDauber in his recent book JewishComedy:ASerious History argues that all of Jewishhumor is basedonseven social-culturalcommonalities (Daub- er 2017,10). (1) Jewishcomedy is aresponse to persecutionand anti-Semitism. (2) Jewishcomedy is asatirical gaze at Jewishsocialand communal norms. (3) Jewishcomedy is bookish, witty,intellectual allusive play. (4) Jewishcomedy is vulgar,raunchy, and body-obsessed. (5) Jewishcomedy is mordant, ironic,and metaphysically oriented. (6) Jewishcomedy is focused on the folksy,everyday,quotidian Jew. (7) Jewishcomedy is about the blurred and ambiguous nature of Jewishness itself. We could not agree more, at least in regardtothe first proposition. However, items #2 to #7 are not uniqueorexclusive to the Jewish experience. They are, in fact,culturaltouchstones or phenomenon that transcend anyclaim of exclu- sivity or ethnicoriginality,and are the sourceorstimulus for jokes in manyother cultures and peoples. Acursory check into the “comic archives” will quicklyre- sult in the discovery of avariety of non-Jewishbased jokes that fit into these cat- egories. Why’dYou HavetoChoose Us?

  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

Carroll Date Professor of History Dr. Samuel Regalado Date Professor of History Dr. Marcy Rose Chvasta Date Professor of Communications © 2014 Kathleen Boone Chapman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DEDICATION I am dedicating this work to my three dear friends: Ronda James, Candace Paulson, and Michele Sniegoski. Ronda’s encouragement and obedience to the Lord gave me what I needed to go back to school with significant health issues and so late in life. Candace, who graduated from Stanford “back in the olden days,” to quote our kids, inspired me to follow my dream and become all God wants me to be. Michele’s long struggle with terminal kidney disease motivated me to keep living in spite of my own health issues. We have laughed and cried together over many years, but all of you have given me strength to carry on. Sorry two of you made it to heaven before I could get this finished. I also want to give credit to my husband of forty years who has been a faithful breadwinner, proof-reader, and a paragon of patience. What more could any woman ask for? He has also put up with me yelling at my computer and cursing Bill Gates – A LOT.

  • The Semitic Component in Yiddish and Its Ideological Role in Yiddish Philology
    philological encounters � (�0�7) 368-387 brill.com/phen The Semitic Component in Yiddish and its Ideological Role in Yiddish Philology Tal Hever-Chybowski Paris Yiddish Center—Medem Library [email protected] Abstract The article discusses the ideological role played by the Semitic component in Yiddish in four major texts of Yiddish philology from the first half of the 20th century: Ysroel Haim Taviov’s “The Hebrew Elements of the Jargon” (1904); Ber Borochov’s “The Tasks of Yiddish Philology” (1913); Nokhem Shtif’s “The Social Differentiation of Yiddish: Hebrew Elements in the Language” (1929); and Max Weinreich’s “What Would Yiddish Have Been without Hebrew?” (1931). The article explores the ways in which these texts attribute various religious, national, psychological and class values to the Semitic com- ponent in Yiddish, while debating its ontological status and making prescriptive sug- gestions regarding its future. It argues that all four philologists set the Semitic component of Yiddish in service of their own ideological visions of Jewish linguistic, national and ethnic identity (Yiddishism, Hebraism, Soviet Socialism, etc.), thus blur- ring the boundaries between descriptive linguistics and ideologically engaged philology. Keywords Yiddish – loshn-koydesh – semitic philology – Hebraism – Yiddishism – dehebraization Yiddish, although written in the Hebrew alphabet, is predominantly Germanic in its linguistic structure and vocabulary.* It also possesses substantial Slavic * The comments of Yitskhok Niborski, Natalia Krynicka and of the anonymous reviewer have greatly improved this article, and I am deeply indebted to them for their help. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���7 | doi �0.��63/�45�9�97-��Downloaded34003� from Brill.com09/23/2021 11:50:14AM via free access The Semitic Component In Yiddish 369 and Semitic elements, and shows some traces of the Romance languages.
