Mayakovsky On The Land, Ludmila Lavine
Mayakovsky On The Land, Ludmila Lavine
Faculty Journal Articles
It is surprising that the poet whose self-proclaimed mission was to give city streets a language turned to publicizing farming collectives. No less noteworthy is the poet of internationalism working on the ethnocentric Crimea project of advertising Jewish agrarian communities. This paper addresses Mayakovsky’s collaboration on the film Evrei na zemle (Jews on the Land, 1927), and his poems ““Evrei (Tovarishcham iz OZETa)” (“Jew [To Comrades from OZET],” 1926) and “‘Zhid’” (“‘Yid’,” 1928). I argue that in these works the poet reshuffles the svoi-chuzhoi dichotomy. While using the Moses story of exile and liberation, the poet both domesticates the Jew …
La Transmission De Pesiqta Rabbati Dans La France Du Xie Siècle À Narbonne Et En Champagne / The Transmission Of Pesiqta Rabbati In 11th Century France In Narbonne And In Champagne: Borderlands Theories, Rivka Ulmer
Faculty Journal Articles
La Pesiqta Rabbati est une œuvre homilétique rabbinique qui a connu une transmission et une rédaction complexes. Originaire de Palestine, le texte s’est diffusé en Italie, en Rhénanie et dans le sud de la France à l’époque byzantine, à l’aube de la conquête musulmane du Moyen-Orient. Au XIe siècle en Provence, la Pesiqta Rabbati fut citée par Moïse Ha-Daršan dans Berešit Rabbati et en Champagne par Rashi (R. Salomon b. Isaac, 1040-1105) dans ses commentaires bibliques. D’autres références se trouvent dans le Maḥzor Vitry de Simhah b. Samuel de Vitry (mort en 1105). La Pesiqta Rabbati présente des recoupements textuels …
Vladimir Mayakovsky’S Agit-Semitism, Ludmila Lavine
Vladimir Mayakovsky’S Agit-Semitism, Ludmila Lavine
Faculty Journal Articles
Images of Jewishness as ethnic, cultural, and biblical categories in Vladimir Mayakovsky’s works are both plentiful and understudied. The present article attempts to bridge this gap while exploring the mechanisms that guide the poet’s responses to anti-Semitism. I begin by focusing on the function of the Exodus story in Stikhi ob Amerike(Verses about America), and then move to Mayakovsky’s “agitational” works: his collaboration on the film Evrei na zemle(Jews on the Land, 1927), and his poems ““Evrei (Tovarishcham iz OZETa)” (“Jew [To Comrades from OZET],” 1926) and “‘Zhid’” (“‘Yid’,” 1928). I argue that, while Mayakovsky continues the established …

Apocalypticism In The Homiletic Text Of Pesiqta Rabbati: Catastrophic Events At The End-Of-Time, Rivka Ulmer
Apocalypticism In The Homiletic Text Of Pesiqta Rabbati: Catastrophic Events At The End-Of-Time, Rivka Ulmer
Faculty Journal Articles
The rabbinic homiletic work Pesiqta Rabbati contains several apocalyptic topoi in its homilies that culminate in descriptions of divine intervention in history, total destruction followed by the messianic age at the end-of-time, and justice at the final judgment. Nevertheless, Pesiqta Rabbati does not present itself as an apocalypse, nor does it belong to the text-type “apocalypse.” It contains midrashic apocalypticism by interpreting scriptural passages, and relied on the existing language of apocalyptic sources to augment the midrashic statements. Previous scholarship relating to the apocalypse in Pesiqta Rabbati focused mainly on the apocalypses of 2 Baruch, Paralipomena Jeremiou, and 4 Ezra. …
