On the Influence of Rabbi ‘Haim Joseph David Azulai (‘Hida)’s Shem Ha-Guedolim on the Hebraic Bio-bibliography
No full textBefore entering into the subject of the history of this book and its offspring, the author, the ‘Hida, must be presented briefly. Moritz Steinschneider says of him: “’Haim Joseph David Azulai of Jerusalem (1724-1806) wrote a book about the biographies of the sages of Israel and their works. The content of the book was collected by him throughout his travels.” The ‘Hida, like his father Isaac Zera’hia before him, had been appointed as a rabbinic envoy (shalia’h) to collect the funds necessary ..
Hebrew and Yiddish in Works by Haim Maor, an Israeli Artist of the Second Generation
No full textAn Israeli artist of the Second Generation or the postgeneration, Haim Maor uses in his art various means of expression, such as painting, installation, photography, or performance, and creates biographical art. In numerous works, he uses words or texts in Hebrew, Yiddish, English, German, Polish, and Arabic. In this article, the author focuses mainly on these works of art in which Haim Maor – in a way close to conceptualism, postconceptualism, and concrete poetry – uses words, especially those in Hebrew and Yiddish. The author refers to the presence of tension in this art between the official language of the young and proud country of Israel (Hebrew) and the language of diaspora, despised by Israeli elites (Yiddish). Works by Maor evoke the Shoah mainly by means of references to familial stories. In the article, the author tackles the motif of memory found in this art, putting it in the context of post-Holocaust art and the notion of postmemory (Marianne Hirsch), and showing the way in which the attitude towards the tragedy of the Shoah transformed in Israel. Maor’s art criticises the myths functioning in Israeli society, such as the myth of “beautiful” death. Using not only the research of Israeli Zionist historians (Anita Shapira) and so-called new historians (Shlomo Sand, Tom Segev, Ilan Pappé, Idith Zertal) but also the texts of left-wing publicists and writers (David Grossman, Amos Oz, Ari Shavit), the author attempts to depict the way in which art works through the same problems which historians, writers, and journalists face. Haim Maor to izraelski artysta drugiego pokolenia czy też postpokolenia, posługujący się w swej twórczości różnymi środkami wyrazu, jak np. malarstwo, instalacja, fotografia, performance, i uprawiający sztukę biograficzną. W wielu pracach posługuje się słowem lub tekstem w językach: hebrajskim, jidysz, angielskim, niemieckim, polskim oraz arabskim. W niniejszym artykule autor koncentruje uwagę głównie na tych pracach, w których Haim Maor – w sposób bliski konceptualizmowi, postkonceptualizmowi oraz poezji konkretnej – posługuje się słowem (głównie w językach hebrajskim oraz jidysz). Odnosi się do obecnego w sztuce tego artysty napięcia pomiędzy oficjalnym językiem młodego i dumnego państwa Izrael – hebrajskim, a pogardzanym przez izraelskie elity językiem diaspory – jidysz. Prace Maora przywołują Zagładę głównie poprzez odniesienia do rodzinnych historii. W artykule autor podejmuje wątek pamięci obecny w sztuce tego artysty, sytuując jego twórczość w kontekście „sztuki po Zagładzie” oraz pojęcia postpamięci (Marianne Hirsch), pokazując, w jaki sposób zmieniał się stosunek do tragedii Szoa w Państwie Izrael. Sztuka Maora poddaje krytyce mitologie funkcjonujące w izraelskim społeczeństwie, np. mit „pięknej” śmierci. Sięgając zarówno do badań izraelskich historyków syjonistycznych (Anita Shapira) oraz tzw. nowych historyków (Shlomo Sand, Tom Segev, Ilan Pappé oraz Idith Zertal), a także do tekstów lewicowych publicystów i pisarzy (Dawid Grosman, Amos Oz, Ari Shavit), autor próbuje unaocznić czytelnikowi, w jaki sposób przepracowywano na gruncie sztuk wizualnych te same problemy, z którymi mierzą się historycy, literaci oraz dziennikarze
Literature in a national context : the case of Mori Ōgai and Haim Nachman Bialik
No full textThe emergence of nationalism in the late 18th century greatly impacted human society and culture, making it impossible to think outside its framework. This impact also resulted in the emergence of the concept of "National Literature". To better understand this concept, it is necessary to look into literatures that have been affected by this. Two such examples are modern Hebrew and modern Japanese literature which both developed in the late 19th century in direct correlation with the appearance of Zionism and Japanese nationalism. Writers of these literatures began to create works that reflected the new framework of "National Literature". Mori Ōgai's novella Maihime (1892) and Haim Nachman Bialik's novella Me'akhorei Hagader (1909) both attempt to address questions of national identity and belonging, and both reflect the ideology of nationalism. Comparing these works shows that even though nationalism affected literature in general, the way each author interpreted this concept differed according to their own background.application/pd

ROTOЯ Review
No full textThe ROTOЯ partnership between Huddersfield Art Gallery and the University of Huddersfield was established in 2011. ROTOЯ I and II was a programme of eight exhibitions and accompanying events that commenced in 2012 and was completed in 2013. ROTOЯ continues into 2014 and the programme for 2015 and 2016 is already firmly underway. In brief, the aim of ROTOЯ is to improve the cultural vitality of Kirklees, expand audiences, and provide new ways for people to engage with and understand academic research in contemporary art and design.
Why ROTOЯ , Why Now?
As Vice Chancellors position their institutions’ identities and future trajectories in context to national and international league tables, Professor John Goddard1 proposes the notion of the ‘civic’ university as a ‘place embedded’ institution; one that is committed to ‘place making’ and which recognises its responsibility to engaging with the public. The civic university has deep institutional connections to different social, cultural and economic spheres within its locality and beyond.
A fundamental question for both the university sector and cultural organisations alike, including local authority, is how the many different articulations of public engagement and cultural leadership which exist can be brought together to form one coherent, common language. It is critical that we reach out and engage the community so we can participate in local issues, impact upon society, help to forge well-being and maintain a robust cultural economy. Within the lexicon of public centered objectives sits the Arts Council England’s strategic goals, and those of the Arts and Humanities Research Council – in particular its current Cultural Value initiative. What these developments reveal is that art and design education and professional practice, its projected oeuvre as well as its relationship to cultural life and public funding, is now challenged with having to comprehensively audit its usefulness in financially austere times. It was in the wake of these concerns coming to light, and of the 2010 Government Spending Review that ROTOЯ was conceived. These issues and the discussions surrounding them are not completely new. Research into the social benefits of the arts, for both the individual and the community, was championed by the Community Arts Movement in the 1960s. During the 1980s and ‘90s, John Myerscough and Janet Wolff, amongst others, provided significant debate on the role and value of the arts in the public domain. What these discussions demonstrated was a growing concern that the cultural sector could not, and should not, be understood in terms of economic benefit alone. Thankfully, the value of the relationships between art, education, culture and society is now recognised as being far more complex than the reductive quantification of their market and GDP benefits. Writing in ‘Art School (Propositions for the 21st Century)’, Ernesto Pujol proposes:‘…it is absolutely crucial that art schools consider their institutional role in support of democracy. The history of creative expression is linked to the history of freedom. There is a link between the state of artistic expression and the state of democracy.’ When we were approached by Huddersfield Art Gallery to work collaboratively on an exhibition programme that could showcase academic staff research, one of our first concerns was to ask the question, how can we really contribute to cultural leadership within the town?’ The many soundbite examples of public engagement that we might underline within our annual reports or website news are one thing, but what really makes a difference to a town’s cultural identity, and what affects people in their daily lives? With these questions in mind we sought a distinctive programme within the muncipal gallery space, that would introduce academic research in art, design and architecture beyond the university in innovative ways
