Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements

Feb. 6, 2018

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

1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
2. Send material as plain text to victor.bers at yale.edu as plain text (no
HTML, other  coding, or attachments) and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the
subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted
the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

 “Centering the Periphery: Polish Jewish Cultural Production Beyond the
Capital,” the 5th Annual Polish Jewish Studies Workshop, will be held March
5-6, 2018 at Rutgers University—the State University of New Jersey, New
Brunswick. It will focus on Jewish cultural production, but also on
cultural collaborations and tensions between Christians and Jews in the
years of Poland’s partitions and independence (1772-1939) in urban centers
other than Warsaw—especially Wilno, Lwów, Kraków, and Łódź. We will explore
these topics through fresh approaches and methodologies.


The format of the 2018 PJSW is designed to maximize scholarly exchange. We
are convening roundtable discussions engaging with six distinct thematic
constellations:

    Translations
    Geographies
    Traditions
    Audiences
    High and Low Cultures
    Embodiments and Spaces

A concert, “Soundscapes of Modernity: Jews and Music in Polish Cities,”
featuring an important, but little-known repertoire of choral pieces from
“Progressive” synagogues, compositions associated with Jewish music
societies, and avant-garde works by Jewish composers, will be held on
Monday, March 5, at 7:30 p.m. at the Kirkpatrick Chapel in New Brunswick.



All events are free and open to the public. For more information, and a
