SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Book Anatomy: The Body Politics of Indigenous Book History
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Amy Gore\, assistant professor of English at North Dakota State University\, will discuss the connections between books\, bodies\, and Indigenous book history at the release of her latest monograph\, Book Anatomy: Body Politics and the Materiality of Indigenous Book History (University of Massachusetts Press\, 2023). From a book’s “spine” to its “appendix\,” bibliographers use a language of the body that reveals our intimate connection with books. Yet books do more than describe bodies—they embody a frontline of colonization in which Indigenous authors battle the public perception and reception of Indigenous peoples. Starting with John Rollin Ridge’s The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta (1854) as the first novel published by a Native author and moving to other first entries of Indigenous literary production\, Amy Gore calls attention to the negotiations between books and bodies embedded within Indigenous literary history. Bringing Indigenous book history more firmly into conversations with mainstream narratives about the history of the book\, her research claims books themselves as a source of embodied power for early Native American authors. \nModerated by Erin McGuirl\, Executive Director\, Bibliographical Society of America \n\n\n\n\nProfessor Amy Gore on “Book Anatomy: Body Politics and the Materiality of Indigenous Book History”

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: I. B. Singer's 'Writings on Yiddish & Yiddishkayt'
DESCRIPTION:Scholars David Stromberg and Aaron Lansky will discuss a new book\, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Writings on Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, The War Years\, 1939-1945 (White Goat Press). November 11 would have been the 120th birthday of the late Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer. This collection\, edited and translated by David Stromberg\, editor of the Singer Literary Trust\, is the first in a three-volume series. It features 25 essays that Singer\, then relatively unknown\, originally published under pseudonyms in the Forverts\, the world’s oldest Yiddish newspaper. The book’s chronological arrangement reveals shifts in Singer’s perspective as history unfolded. He was driven to write in an urgent tone as a whole world\, a way of life\, a cultural treasure bound up with Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, were all going up in flames. For this event\, some of Singer’s original Yiddish works from the Yiddish Book Center’s collection will be on display along with an important artifact of Singer’s earliest work. \nDavid Stromberg\, the Jerusalem-based editor of the Isaac Bashevis Singer Literary Trust\, has written books including Narrative Faith: Dostoevsky\, Camus\, and Singer (University of Delaware Press) and Idiot Love and the Elements of Intimacy (Palgrave Macmillan)\, and he edited a collection of Singer’s essays\, Old Truths and New Clichés (Princeton University Press) and a children’s story collection\, In the Land of Happy Tears: Yiddish Tales for Modern Times (Delacorte). He has contributed fiction\, journalism\, personal essays\, scholarly research\, and translations of Singer’s work to The New Yorker\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, American Scholar\, and American Journal of Psychoanalysis\, among other outlets. He will be in conversation with Aaron Lansky\, founder and president of the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst\, Mass.\, a nonprofit organization working to recover\, celebrate\, and regenerate Yiddish and modern Jewish literature and culture. White Goat Press\, the Center’s imprint\, publishes newly translated work in all genres of fiction and nonfiction. The Center grew out of Lansky’s discovery in the late 1970s of vast numbers of Yiddish books being discarded by younger Jews who could not read their ancestors’ language. Since his first public appeal for unwanted Yiddish books in 1980\, when scholars believed just 70\,000 volumes were extant and recoverable\, more than a million volumes have been gathered at the Center. Lansky has earned degrees from Hampshire College\, McGill University\, Amherst College\, the State University of New York\, and Hebrew Union College; received a so-called “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation in 1989; and wrote a bestseller in 2005\, Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books.
