Studies in American Jewish Literature in Honor of Sarah Blacher Cohen

Studies in American Jewish Literature in Honor of Sarah Blacher Cohen

Purdue University Press
2010
nidottu
Scholar, teacher, playwright, and editor, Sarah Blacher Cohen was one of the earliest champions of the study of American Jewish literature, a field of academic study that has been in existence for barely thirty-five years. Over the years until her premature death in 2008, she contributed to the discipline in a profusion of genres, from scholarly to popular, from essay to drama, writing or editing seven books of her own. She also wrote and produced several plays with her longtime collaborator, Joanne B. Koch. This special volume (29) of the annual, Studies in American Jewish Literature (ISSN 0271-9274), the journal edited by Daniel Walden, contains a range of tributes from her many friends and colleagues.

Cynthia Ozick's Comic Art

Cynthia Ozick's Comic Art

Sarah Blacher Cohen

Indiana University Press
1994

"Cohen has succeeded in showing a fusion of Ozick's writing as sacred and comic. Defining humor broadly, Cohen persuasively argues that levity and liturgy are natural companions, enriching each other, especially in the creative imagination of Cynthia Ozick." —Midstream " . . . a thoughtful introduction to a monumental though underrated writer." —SHOFAR "This study is a welcome addition to the growing body of scholarly criticism of Ozick and focuses on her comedic style." —Choice "Cohen has written an important . . . book, one that celebrates Ozick's 'liturgical laughter,' emphasizing on every occasion the connection between the comic and the sacred. It is a connection we should be reminded of often." —Belles Lettres "Cohen's readings of these stories reveal their many levels and meanings in a language as acute and perceptive as that of Ozick herself." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch Magazine "In presenting Ozick as a 'comedian of ideas,' Sarah Blacher Cohen has raised the study of Ozick to a new level." —Alan L. Berger "[Cohen] understands Ozick's hybrid conception of human nature, her realization that the secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow and that the ironic mode . . . is the best way of telling the truth." —Daniel Walden

Livsbevidst - Hvordan vi begynder at leve det liv, vi har glemt at leve

Hvorfor mistrives så mange børn, unge og voksne, når Danmark aldrig har været rigere? Hvorfor kan det opleves nærmest forræderisk at gå ned i arbejdstid, passe sit syge barn, arbejde hjemmefra eller tilvælge tid med sin familie? Hvorfor runger spørgsmålet ”prioriterer jeg mit liv rigtigt?” hos flere og flere?Det er nogle af de spørgsmål, som antropolog Sarah Blicher-Koch sætter fokus på, når hun præsenterer fem kulturelle revner, der skaber både vores egne og samfundets ubalancer. Revnerne afslører, hvordan vi som mennesker er blevet reduceret til arbejdsressourcer, og vores liv reduceret til arbejdsliv. Vi har ophøjet arbejdskulturen til det vigtigste fællesskab på bekostning af vores nære relationer. Vi drøner af sted i hamsterhjulet, som vi elsker at hade, men samtidig hader at elske. Vi er endt med at være et af verdens mest institutionaliserede lande, hvor adskillelsen mellem forældre og børn er stor, og hvor vi ubevidst kulturelt presser os selv og hinanden ud i, at ”sådan er det bare”, selv om vi måske inderst inde drømmer om noget andet. Og vi ser work-life-balance og fire-dages arbejdsuge som vores redningskranse, men kommer de virkelig til at redde os?Vil vi mistrivsel til livs og leve det liv, vi har glemt at leve, skal vi ikke gøre mere af det, vi plejer, men mere af det, vi har brug for."Livsbevidst – Hvordan vi begynder at leve det liv, vi har glemt at leve" gør op med den hverdag, de fleste lever, og giver bud på, hvordan vi også kan indrette vores liv, hvis vi tør reflektere og være bevidste om de valg, vi træffer. Du får stor indsigt i, hvorfor normerne gør, at vi ofte vælger ligesom alle andre, og hvordan du i stedet tager ejerskab over dine værdier og prioriteringer.Bogen er for dig, der tror på, at hverdagen, fællesskabet og verden har mere at byde på.Forordet er skrevet af forfatter og samfundsdebattør Maj My Humaidan.

Desperate to win her love, he decides to surpass her as the best and most famous lot lizard ever. With his own leather mini-skirt and a makeup bag that closes with Velcro, the young "Cherry Vanilla" embarks on a journey through the Appalachian wilds, dining on transcendental cuisine, supplicating to the mystical Jackalope, encountering the most terrifying of pimps, walking on water, being venerated as an innocent girl saint--and then being denounced as the devil.By turns exhilarating and shocking, magical and realistic, Sarah brings urgency, wit, and imagination to an unknown and unforgettable world.

From the prizewinning Jewish Lives series, a riveting portrait of the great Sarah Bernhardt from acclaimed writer Robert Gottlieb Everything about Sarah Bernhardt is fascinating, from her obscure birth to her glorious career—redefining the very nature of her art—to her amazing (and highly public) romantic life to her indomitable spirit. Well into her seventies, after the amputation of her leg, she was performing under bombardment for soldiers during World War I, as well as crisscrossing America on her ninth American tour. Her family was also a source of curiosity: the mother she adored and who scorned her; her two half-sisters, who died young after lives of dissipation; and most of all, her son, Maurice, whom she worshiped and raised as an aristocrat, in the style appropriate to his presumed father, the Belgian Prince de Ligne. Only once did they quarrel—over the Dreyfus Affair. Maurice was a right-wing snob; Sarah, always proud of her Jewish heritage, was a passionate Dreyfusard and Zolaist. Though the Bernhardt literature is vast, Gottlieb’s Sarah is the first English-language biography to appear in decades. Brilliantly, it tracks the trajectory through which an illegitimate—and scandalous—daughter of a courtesan transformed herself into the most famous actress who ever lived, and into a national icon, a symbol of France. About Jewish Lives: Jewish Lives is a prizewinning series of interpretative biography designed to explore the many facets of Jewish identity. Individual volumes illuminate the imprint of Jewish figures upon literature, religion, philosophy, politics, cultural and economic life, and the arts and sciences. Subjects are paired with authors to elicit lively, deeply informed books that explore the range and depth of the Jewish experience from antiquity to the present. In 2014, the Jewish Book Council named Jewish Lives the winner of its Jewish Book of the Year Award, the first series ever to receive this award. More praise for Jewish Lives: "Excellent." –New York Times "Exemplary." –Wall Street Journal "Distinguished." –New Yorker "Superb." –The Guardian

Sarah, the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac in Genesis, is a central biblical character because of her role in the establishment of the people later called Israel. In recent years, the image of Sarah has not fared well in scholarship where she is depicted as petty, indulgent, self-absorbed, and the oppressor of Hagar. This study examines Sarah and her role in Genesis to understand how women function in the biblical text, how the biblical writers constructed women's roles, and how this impacts a modern reading of the Hebrew Bible.

Sarah is the detailed case history of a UCLA undergraduate, written by a UCLA psychology professor. It is a unique case of psychological survival. Despite vicious sexual abuse, Sarah has managed to adapt, survive, and grow.Balancing the intense emotional impact of Sarah's first-person account, Dr. Abramson's commentary is interpolated throughout the record of Sarah's life. Sarah's story was obtained from seven months of interviewing, plus her diaries, drawings, family photographs, and four years of follow-ups, correspondence, and observations. This book is significant in that it documents psychological resolution in the face of endless abuse and trauma. Dr. Abramson provides an unusual perspective by focusing less on the damage associated with abuse and more on Sarah's gradual development of successful means of coping and surmounting negative patterns. He writes:"If you read carefully, in between the abuse and self-destructive behaviors, Sarah emerges as an active, striving individual. Sarah does not give up-she is appalled, angry, depressed and confused, but she keeps fighting to maintain her integrity. The resolution of Sarah's existential dilemma was the emergence of faith in herself."
