Is there such thing as "American Jewish English"? If so, how does it compare and relate to Jewish languages of the past?
Join us for an interactive investigation of the question of Jewish language and identity with Professor Sarah Benor. Her introductory lecture will focus on the history of Jewish languages and some of their distinctive features. In the facilitated breakout groups that follow, participants will be given quotes and questions for discussion. The concluding session will examine American Jewish diversity, which is reflected and constructed in language.
Professor Sarah Benor, Associate Professor of Contemporary Jewish Studies at Hebrew Union College, teaches about the social science of American Jews, as well as about language and culture. Her research interests include Jewish languages, American Jewish identity and culture, sociolinguistic variation, the linguistic construction of identity, language contact, ethnography, and Orthodox Jews. She is the founder, producer, and editor of the Jewish Language Research Website, and she is the founder and moderator of the Jewish Languages Mailing List. Her publications include "Do American Jews Speak a 'Jewish Language'? A Model of Jewish Linguistic Distinctiveness" (Jewish Quarterly Review) and "Jewish Languages." (Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics.)

When: Wed Nov 10, 2010 2am to 4am
UTC
Where: CU Visual Arts Center- Gallery
Event Status: confirmed
Event Description: http://www.jewishmovers.org/classes/43
Languages shape space. Their presence in space signifies cultural territory and sovereignty. On the internet language is the space. What opportunities emerge when languages intersect? Yael Kanarek tests this idea by shuffling around three languages that make up the semantic landscape of her childhood. Next to one another, English, Hebrew and Arabic generate a charged, nervous space to navigate.
This talk introduces artworks born in the nervous space. Beginning with a foray into the trilingual, fantastical hypertext, Object of Desire. The net art work revisits themes in popular culture that originated in the Middle East and Mediterranean. The talk continues with works that constructs a nervous spaces with formalistic tools: configuration, shape, and shadow. The results are dynamic, typographic fields. Warm fields.

Organization:
Program in Jewish Studies Events Calendar- External
When: Wed Apr 14, 2010 1am to 3am
UTC
Where: Boulder Public Library 1001 Arapahoe Ave. Boulder, CO 80302
Event Status: confirmed
Event Description: Join co-author and executive director of Jewish Mosaic, Gregg Drinkwater and Professor David Shneer for a discussion about the recently published Torah Queeries: Weekly Commentaries on the Hebrew Bible. In the Jewish tradition, reading of the Torah follows a calendar cycle, with a specific portion assigned each week. These weekly portions, read aloud in synagogues around the world, have been subject to interpretation and commentary for centuries. Following on this ancient tradition, Torah Queeries brings together some of the world’s leading rabbis, scholars, and writers to interpret the Torah through a "bent lens". With commentaries on the fifty-four weekly Torah portions and six major Jewish holidays, the concise yet substantive writings collected here open up stimulating new insights and highlight previously neglected perspectives.
Torah Queeries: Weekly Commentaries on the Hebrew Bible is edited by Gregg Drinkwater, Joshua Lesser and David Shneer, with foreword by Judith Plaskow.
