CALL FOR PAPERS FOR SECTION "Yiddish as a Medium of Cultural Transferences
Conference IRICS
Innovations and Reproductions in Cultures and Societies
Congress Centrum Vienna, 9 to 11 December 2005
http://www.inst.at/irics/
Topic of Section:
Yiddish as a Medium of Cultural Transferences
As a medium of Jewish and non-Jewish cultures Yiddish plays an interesting, versatile and unifying role. In all the places where a Yiddish culture and literature was created by Yiddish-speakers, first in Western and Eastern Europe, later in countries of emigration in North and South America, in South Africa, Australia and Israel, it had the combined features of the Old Home and the new country, of the Self and the Other.
There a new form of Jewish culture and literature has emerged simultaneously in the language medium of the new country. This has led to an astonishing interplay between Yiddish and the languages of the host countries. From the 20th century Yiddish has created a kind of world literature and culture, for which the concept of "Yiddishophonie" seems to be very appropriate. The question which arises today is the following: is Yiddish able to meet the new challenges of the 21st century?
