Levi\u27s basic anxiety, conflict and the search for glory in Zadie Smith\u27s on beauty
No full textLiterary scholars of Zadie Smith\u27s novel \u27On Beauty\u27 (2005) have examined Levi, the youngest male character of the novel, based on his environment, a multicultural society, and have viewed him as a representation of a multicultural family. However, this paper analyses Smith\u27s portrayal of Levi as an ordinary child who grew up in unfavourable conditions. For this purpose, Levi\u27s character is analysed as a representation of neuroticism and his basic anxiety, need for detachment, self-idealisation and search for glory are explored using a conceptual framework based on Karen Horney\u27s psychoanalytic social theory. Through textual analysis, this study attempts to explore the root of psychological anxiety in Levi to discover the role of basic conflict in his behavioural and emotional responses, and to examine how Levi copes with his anxiety through self-idealisation. The outcomes indicate that, as the root of his basic anxiety, Levi\u27s relationship with his father, transforms him into a detached person attempting to prove himself. This paper clarifies that Levi\u27s conflict is rooted in the manner of his nurturing, with some impact from other factors such as society, culture and racial issues. In order to justify that the difficulties faced by multicultural families are not only related to their cultural and racial identity, future research could apply Horney\u27s theory for literary works categorised under multiculturalism and immigration
Afterword: So We Died A Memoir of Life and Death in the Ghetto of Šiauliai, Lithuania by Levi Shalit
No full textA powerful eyewitness account of the Shavl ghetto in Nazi-occupied Lithuania
So We Died: A Memoir of Life and Death in the Ghetto of Šiauliai, Lithuania (Azoy zaynen mir geshtorbn) is a powerful eyewitness account of the Shavl ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Lithuania. Written in Yiddish by Levi Shalit and available now for the first time in English, the work fills a stark void in historical records.
Shalit divided his work into four sections. In the first, he describes the German invasion of Šiauliai, the murder of thousands of Jews in the city and surrounding countryside, and the forced relocation of the surviving Jews into the Shavl ghetto. In the second, he describes daily life in the ghetto in engrossing detail. In the third, titled “The Masada Book,” Shalit describes ghetto residents’ attempt to organize a resistance group of which he himself was a member. In the fourth, he narrates the transformation of the ghetto into a concentration camp and the seizure and deportation of the community’s children.
Few accounts of the Shavl ghetto survived the war. Shalit’s work offers English-language readers a rare insight into a vital chapter of history. The translators artfully reveal Shalit’s literary prowess and the ways he illuminated the Shavl ghetto’s daily struggles, false hopes, and atrocities.
More than an account of a previously overlooked episode in Holocaust history, So We Died is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of unspeakable tragedy. It offers keen insight into a time of war, fascism, and resistance. A must-read for anyone seeking understanding and remembrance.https://scholarworks.smith.edu/jud_books/1009/thumbnail.jp
Primo Levi: the educational resources of a polyhedric writing. Didactic proposals for primary schools
No full textreservedPrimo Levi è principalmente conosciuto per essere sopravvissuto ad Auschwitz e per aver scritto delle opere di testimonianza su questa terribile esperienza. In realtà, egli è un autore fortemente poliedrico, la cui produzione abbraccia ambiti, temi e generi molto diversi e non solo legati alla Shoah. Questa grande varietà costituisce una risorsa importante per gli insegnanti, in quanto all’interno dell’opera leviana è possibile individuare tanti testi potenzialmente utilizzabili con gli alunni, anche della scuola primaria. Sulla base di tale considerazione, è stata progettata e condotta la ricerca in questa sede riportata, avente lo scopo di trarre evidenze che potessero confermare o smentire l’ipotesi secondo cui Primo Levi può essere proposto, con i dovuti accorgimenti pedagogico-didattici, anche a bambini frequentanti la scuola primaria. Tale ricerca è stata articolata in due fasi principali. La prima si è basata sulla somministrazione di un questionario rivolto a persone attive in ambito educativo e/o letterario, volto a rilevare le loro opinioni rispetto alla domanda di ricerca: dalle risposte dei partecipanti è emerso che la maggioranza di essi conosceva Levi a un livello piuttosto superficiale e lo riteneva un autore adeguato ad alunni dalla scuola secondaria in poi. La seconda fase ha previsto invece una sperimentazione presso la scuola primaria “Manzoni” di Limena (PD), nella quale due testi scritti da Levi sono stati proposti agli alunni di una classe quarta: i dati raccolti attraverso conversazioni, osservazioni, questionari e analisi dei prodotti realizzati dai bambini hanno nel complesso confermato l’ipotesi di ricerca formulata.Primo Levi is primarily known for surviving Auschwitz and for writing testimonial works about this terrible experience. Actually, he is a highly versatile author, whose work encompasses various fields, themes, and genres not only related to the Shoah. This great variety is an important resource for teachers, as within Levi’s body of work, many texts can be found that are potentially suitable for students, even in primary school. Based on this consideration, the research presented here was designed and conducted with the aim of gathering evidence to confirm or refute the hypothesis that Primo Levi can be introduced, with appropriate pedagogical and didactic adjustments, to children attending primary school. This research was divided into two main phases. The first was based on a questionnaire administered to individuals active in the educational and/or literary fields, aimed at investigating their opinions on the research question: the participants’ responses showed that the majority had only a rather superficial knowledge of Levi and considered him suitable for students from secondary school onwards. The second phase involved an experiment conducted at the “Manzoni” primary school in Limena (PD), in which two texts written by Levi were presented to a fourth-grade class: the data collected through conversations, observations, questionnaires, and analysis of the children's works overall confirmed the research hypothesis
