Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements

December 12, 2012

To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.

2. Send material for Personal Notices & Announcements as plain text
(no HTML, other coding, or attachments), write MENDELE PERSONALS in
the subject line, and e-mail to victor.bers at yale.edu.

3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has
posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

From:Fernando Peñalosa <cosio at cox.net>
Date: Nov. 10, 2012 [sic]
Subject: *The Dybbuk; Text, Subtext, and Context*


Tsiterboym Books announces the publication of The Dybbuk: Text,
Subtext, and Context, by Fernando Peñalosa. This wide-ranging account
of The Dybbuk  begins with a summary of the life of S. An-sky, the
polemicist, fiction writer, ethnographer, activist,  and folklorist,
as well as playwright. It discusses the development of the play,
including an analysis of its main themes, as well as a detailed
examination of the probable or possible sources drawn on for its
composition. There is a lengthy discussion and comparison of the four
canonical versions: the original Russian, the Yiddish, Bialik’s Hebrew
translation, and the Habima theatre company’s modified Hebrew
production. There follows an account of the play’s most important
productions,  including the many adaptations and spinoffs, such as
ballet and musical productions, including several operas. Appended to
the main text is a series of synopses of the play itself, related
plays and films, as well as a summary of the stenographic report of
Mishpat Hadibbuk, the 1926 mock trial of The Dybbuk  in Tel Aviv,
following much criticism of performances that year in Mandate
Palestine. It has detailed notes, an extensive bibliography and index.
  viii + 270 pp., illustrated.  Available at Amazon.com for $19.95.
