[ha-Safran] Announcing Architecture After God

[Kyle Dugdale via Hasafran]

Dear HaSafran,

I am thrilled to announce the publication of my book, which may be of
interest:

*Kyle Dugdale, Architecture After God (Basel: Birkhäuser, 2023)* now
available 

A vivid retelling of the biblical story of Babel leads from the contested
site of Babylon to the soaring towers of the modern metropolis, and sets
the bright hopes of early modernism against the shadows of gathering war.
Dealing in structural metaphor, utopian aspiration, and geopolitical
ambition, Dugdale exposes the inexorable architectural implications of the
event described by Nietzsche as the death of God.

The book's fabric is woven around two continuous threads: the familiar
account of the Tower of Babel, read in the context of distinctly modern
anxieties; and the less familiar story of its retelling in a slim but
lavishly illustrated volume by the artist Uriel Birnbaum, entitled *Der
Kaiser und der Architekt* (Thyrsos Verlag, 1924). The youngest son of
Nathan Birnbaum, Uriel contributed to a brief flowering of the book arts
within 1920s Jewish culture in Vienna. But his story, which is also a
scathing critique of modernity and its pieties, never reached its intended
readership. Soon after its publication, the 1923 winner of Austria's top
literary award fell into an oblivion from which his work is only now
beginning to emerge. This book sets his work in conversation with the
larger movements of twentieth-century architectural thought.


Kind regards,


*Kyle Dugdale *AIA
Senior Critic, Yale School of Architecture

Re: [ha-Safran] Books "not in BHB"

[Michelle Margolis via Hasafran]

Dear Monika,

Apologies for the long delay in responding. With *Footprints
*, we try to use a BHB number wherever
possible, but whenever it is not available, we turn to other databases,
like ISTC 
for incunabula, USTC
 (usually for non-Hebrew books), or the Union List
for Yiddish
.
My understanding is that BHB is not currently being updated as such, but I
could be mistaken there.

My best,
Michelle

[ha-Safran] AJL Conference 2023 Update: Judaica Librarianship at Forty

[Paula Breger via Hasafran]

In the closing program of the 2023 Digital Conference (Thursday, June 22, 5:00 
pm ET), we will celebrate forty years of Judaica Librarianship, the 
peer-reviewed journal of the Association of Jewish Libraries.

Founding editor Bella Hass Weinberg, past editor Zachary Baker, and current 
editor Rachel Leket-Mor will discuss their distinct contributions to the 
journal, reflect on the changes that the journal has gone through since it was 
established in 1983, and comment on editorial processes and publishing trends. 
Arthur Kiron, who has served on the editorial board of Judaica Librarianship 
since 2004, will moderate the session.
