PG-Staff Feminist Reading Group - Women's Writing in Yiddish with Dr Rochelle Sibley
via Teams - Please contact Dr Rochelle Sibley for Teams Link

This session will focus on self-representation and the ways in which female Yiddish writers challenged the patriarchal canon of US-Yiddish literature, including the unconventional life of Yente Serdatsky. Serdatsky left her husband and children for a while to pursue her writing career in Warsaw, then emigrated to the US. She had a highly successful tenure at a writer for the Yiddish paper Forverts in New York until she had a very public falling out with its editor, Abraham Cahan, who effectively prevented Serdatsky being published by any US Yiddish publisher for decades.

 

The first reading is a short story first published in Yiddish in 1920 called “An Old Woman with Young Dreams”, which is in translation here: An Old Woman with Young Dreams | Yiddish Book Center

The second is a short selection of Yenta Serdatsky’s letters to the editor of The New York Weekly (Nyu yorker wochenblatt) between 1949 and 1962, which were written after Serdatsky had argued with Cahan, who had effectively ended her literary career. These letters are translated here: "Letters to the Editor" | Yiddish Book Center and were a means of Serdatsky securing a column in the Wochenblatt after many years without being published.

For those who are interested, there are further biographical details on Serdatsky here: Yente Serdatsky | Jewish Women's Archive (jwa.org)

 

 

Please also take a moment to look at the attached save the dates poster and pop them in your diary. We are hoping to bring these sessions in person in Term 2, hopefully in the new building, with snacks and drinks, so watch this space!

 

We have also updated the website (https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/english/research/pgstafffeministreadinggroup/) with proposed dates and session themes.

 

As ever, we very much welcome session proposals from all PGs and staff, so do get in touch if you have a session idea in mind.

 

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Research seminar: Naomi Waltham-Smith (CIM, Warwick), Silent Feeling: What French Thought can Tell Us About the Limits of Free Speech
Teams

Earlier this year the Higher Education Minister Frédérique Vidal alleged that French academia is "gangrened with Isalmo-gauchisme” and members of Macron’s government have vied to outdo the Rassemblement National on anti-immigrant sentiment, rejecting concepts of 'state racism' and 'whiteness' as American imports incompatible with French universalism. As French scholars thus contend with intensified assaults on academic freedom not entirely dissimilar to the ones we face in the UK at the hands of a state likewise wedded to ongoing colonialism, what resources does recent French philosophy have for analysing and mounting resistance to this critical juncture? With particular focus on the differences and disagreements between Lyotard’s différend and Rancière’s mésentente, and alongside Derrida’s thinking about responsibility and silence, Foucault’s late work on parrhēsia and listening, and some recent trajectories in analytic voice epistemology, I will argue that we cannot reckon with the limits of free speech or academic freedom without considering the role of listening and its capacity to silence or let speak. The unequal distribution of voice disavowed by the marketplace-of-ideas models, is as much a function of the inequality of audibility as it is of uneven capacities to speak up.

Naomi Waltham-Smith is Reader in the Centre of Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University of Warwick. Sitting at the intersection of recent European philosophy with music and sound studies, her work appears in journals including boundary 2, CR: The New Centennial Review, Diacritics, parallax, parrhesia, Philosophy Today, and Music Theory Spectrum. She is the author of Music and Belonging Between Revolution and Restoration (Oxford University Press, 2017), Shattering Biopolitics: Militant Listening and the Sound of Life (Fordham University Press, 2021), and Mapping (Post)colonial Paris by Ear (forthcoming with Cambridge University Press). She has—no doubt unwisely—accepted the challenge to write a book intervening in contemporary debates on freedom of expression.

Naomi's paper will be followed by a Response from Oliver Davis, Professor of French Studies, Warwick.
