CALL FOR PAPERS
Yiddish / Jewish Cultures: Literature, History, Thought in Eastern European Diasporas
Date: Sunday, February 26th to Monday, February 27th, 2006
Location: Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, New York University, New York City
What does the field of "Yiddish Studies" mean in the 21st century?
Announcing a graduate student conference on the varieties of Yiddish cultural, historical, and linguistic expression either located
within Eastern Europe, or emanating to diasporas such as the Americas, Israel, and other parts of the world.
We seek papers engaging with the Yiddish language, its diverse literatures, Yiddishist ideologies, or historical projects which make use
of Yiddish sources and/or what we may tentatively call, "Yiddish culture." Indeed, our aim is also to deconstruct these very categories
and question what it means to study Yiddish. Our goal is to create a multi-disciplinary conversation among emerging scholars. We encourage diverse submissions. Potential topics
may include but are not limited to: Yiddish cookbooks, the status of Yiddish as a minority language, nationalist movements, Yiddish
theatre, gender and Yiddish literature, Jewish presses between the World Wars, the presence (or absence) of Yiddish in Israel, Holocaust
memoirs, and Jewish political organizations.
This conference will offer a unique opportunity to present works in progress and receive critical feedback from your colleagues, as well
as faculty members, who will serve as chairs of the panels.
In addition, presenters will have the opportunity to submit their papers for publication in a volume of conference proceedings.
We are pleased to announce our keynote speaker will be Professor Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett (Performance Studies, New York
University).
Travel funds may be available to a limited number of students.
Please send a 300-400 word abstract, along with your contact information, by November 15th to: yiddishconference@gmail.co
Please send any inquiries to the same email address, or call: 212.998.8980
