[What Im talking about, with video and image, later today, 12/2/13, at UMN, Judaism as it relates to my work. Beginning with quotes from Hillel in Avot of Rabbi Natan, end perhaps with live examples. If there were more time, Id be applying back-to-front transformations, as well as the elimination of duplicate words - mimicking and enlarging upon the entanglement of speech and creation. There is only so much time. Thanks to Maria Damon, Sandy Baldwin, Foofwa dImobilite, Maud Liardon, Azure Carter, examples and performances from everywhere. You may have seen much of this text; I keep refining, recreating the original from the debris of origination, such as it is.] alansondheim.org/newjew.txt Semi(o)te Xt 2: Reading Jewishness Between the Text Date: 12/02/2013 Time: 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM Location: 125 Nolte Center for Continuing Education Cost: Free Description: Semi(o)te Xt 2: Reading Jewishness Between the Text is a one-day symposium/workshop on Jewishness and poetics broadly construed; we will explore how poets and writers think about, produce, and enact Jewishness in their texts. The two main presenters will be Maria Damon and Alan Sondheim; Elizabeth Workman (MFA candidate in the Department of English) will read a response to last years event, and Eric Lorberer of Rain Taxi Review of Books will respond to Alan and Marias presentations as well as read some of his own work. The goal is to engage in critical discussions about the permutations and fluidities of Jewish texts and how they situate themselves (or not) in this loose matrix. The presenters will address, sometimes obliquely, the ways in which Jewishness is textually present in their work. One focus of the symposium will be to explore how this textual presence enables a shifting and changing of Jewishnessdifferent ways of enacting Jewishness in a range of media, but especially language.
