CFP YIDDISH IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM: A Symposium on New Yiddish Language and
Culture, deadline May 1

Symposium Theme

Yiddish is far from “dead” or “dying,” with many exciting new developments
in the language and culture since the beginning of the new millennium. This
symposium seeks to bring together scholarship in areas of innovation in
Yiddish in the last fifteen years across the secular and frum worlds. The
symposium is multidisciplinary, spanning literary and cultural studies,
linguistics, translation studies, sociology, theatre and film studies,
pedagogy, history, anthropology and ethnography.

The symposium will include studies in the following areas: New Yiddish
writing and translation; Yiddish video and film; Yiddish theatre and music;
Yiddish language and teaching; Yiddish community life; intercultural
connections.


Logistics

The symposium will take place at the University of Ottawa on the evening of
Saturday, November 5 through the afternoon of Sunday, November 6.

The organizers will cover hotel accommodation on Saturday and Sunday as
well as refreshments and meals during the event.
