[ha-Safran] The Israeli Sovereign (Magnes press)

2014-07-07 Thread Celestina Levant
 

Hello
We would like to introduce a book recently published by the Hebrew
University Magnes press in Jerusalem:

The Israeli Sovereign

The Novel and the Discourse 1967-1973

By Shimrit Peled
http://www.magnes-press.com/Authors/Shimrit+Peled.aspx?name=Shimrit+Pel
ed 

 


The book The Israeli Sovereign: The Novel and the Discourse 1967 - 1973
explores Israeli sovereignty, nationality and space as represented and
constructed in a range of Israeli novels published between 1967 and
1973, in their historical and geographical context and in light of the
public discourse between the 1967 and 1973 wars. The research aims to
characterize the Israeli sovereign subject and Israeli space represented
and constructed in literature, in the context of the public discourse of
the period. Some of the questions the study deals with are: What kind of
Israeli subject emerges from the novels of the period? What kind of
Israeli space is created in these texts? What is the relation between
that space and the various points of view that were prominent in Israeli
discourse at the time? These issues and others are discussed in light of
the historical spatial situation of occupation and massive territorial
expansion.

[ha-Safran] Digital Humanities in Jewish Studies - Roundtable Proceedings

2014-07-07 Thread Michelle Chesner
Hello all,

I know that not everyone was able to make it to Las Vegas at the end of
June, and not everyone who came to the AJL conference was able to make it
to the DH roundtable.  For those who are interested, I have copied the
email (edited slightly to clarify certain things and to include later
happenings) that I sent to members of the roundtable following the
conference.  It'll be a little difficult to summarize the roundtable in a
formal way for the AJL Proceedings so consider this the proceedings for
that session.  If there are any questions, please feel free to be in touch.

Best,
Michelle

Thank you all for coming to the session.  It was a lively conversation, and
certainly needs to continue, and so I wanted to begin right away.

1. I have created a Google Group (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/js-librarians-in-dh) to better
manage discussions.  The group works the same way as Hasafran - once you're
signed up, you can email js-librarians-in...@googlegroups.com, which will
send your emials to the entire list.  You can also choose how you receive
the emails (digest, individual emails, etc.).  Note that you do not need a
gmail account to join the Google Group.

2. The short link to the Contacts list (the list that went around the room
identifying people with an interest in DH and Jewish Studies) is
bit.ly/DHJewish.  Please feel free to forward this list around and add
names to it!

3. The spreadsheet that I created to catalog various projects (beginning
with the ones listed on jewishcommons.org) can be found at
bit.ly/JewishDHProjects.  Please DO add more resources to the list,
although I would request at this point that nobody change the general
format of it. Additionally, if you have comments/questions on the set-up,
please, start a conversation with the people on this list, and we can
change it it makes sense!  Again, feel free to distribute this list.

4. A smaller group of us have gotten together to formalize what AJL's role
(and by extension, our role as Judaica Librarians) is in supporting digital
humanities in Jewish Studies.

5.  For interested parties, I have created a small (for now) Twitter list
of people/projects in DH Jewish Studies (#DHJewish).  You can find it here:
https://twitter.com/hchesner/lists/dh-jewish-studies  Please let me know if
you know of others that should be on this list.
