Letter from the women representatives of Jersey Homesteads' co-operative clothing factory to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban, Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. Women representatives of Jersey Homestead's co-operative garment industry wrote a letter to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as the Jersey Homestead community was on the brink of failure. They explained that although the community was successful in attracting private industry to locate in the Jersey Homesteads factory, the Farm Security Administration's leasing conditions made the company unwilling to sign. The women ask her to intercede on their behalf to the Farm Security Administration, so that they might be able to earn a living

Dora Bruder and the Longue Durée
No full textModiano's methods in Dora Bruder recall the Annales historiographer's rejection of the history of events in favor of the "long duration," but with human history as its object. Modiano's long duration draws out repetitions and variations between his own life and Dora's as he reconstructs and imagines it, between Dora and fictional characters, between Dora's story and the lives of Holocaust victims and survivors known and unknown. Moreover, the author encourages the reader to take part in the uncanny connections the novel makes, through movements of the imagination not unlike Modiano's own. In so doing, we approach Dora and those who shared her fate through their lives rather than their death, restoring to them the everyday freedom of their thoughts and actions alongside our own
Dora Bruder una pietra d’inciampo per Dora Bruder. Distruzione e ricostruzione della sua memoria nella scrittura di Patrick Modiano
No full textIn this paper I focus on Patrick Modiano’s book Dora Bruder, because in some ways it is the summa of a literary expression of the dialectic between destruction and reconstruction of memory and, also, of the necessity to recover of what was deliberately hidden during the period of German Occupation in France.
In fact, on the basis of an historical research, conducted by the author in archives, and an “intimate” research too, along the Parisian boulevards and cobblestones of a personal or deferred memory of those who remained unknown, this book attempts to bring to light, out of nothingness and silence, the life and portrait of Dora Bruder – a girl of Jewish origin, who lived in Paris during World War II and of whom nothing is known except her final destination.
By means of literary writing, the author seeks to rescue the singular stories and proper names of the “drowned”, such as Dora, and to unravel or at least clear up the opacity of personal, national and universal history.
Through a method of investigation and writing that is a skilful hybrid of historical research, topographical exploration (enlivened by the evocative power of the name), and trace retrieval, Modiano thus – and myself as her interpreter – sheds light on this underlying and restorative dialectic, creating not only a literary masterpiece with a strongly philosophical approach, but also a true and real stumbling block for Dora Bruder
Dora Marsden
No full textDora MarsdenFeminist, publisher, and author. Marsden trained as a teacher. Her commitment to the suffrage movement led to her founding of The Freewoman in 1911. With its title change to The Egoist in 1914, the review devoted itself more to literature. Under Marsden's editorship, it published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in 1914 and 1915, and several episodes from Ulysses in 1919 as well as articles on JJ by Ezra Pound and others. In the 1920s, Marsden became a recluse, devoting herself to writing philosophical works, and in later decades was institutionalized with severe depression. William Brockman</p
