306 Royce Hall

Lev Hakak
(UCLA)


Modern Hebrew Creativity in Babylon, 1735-1950

Faculty/Student Seminar Series



Moderator: Gil Hochberg (UCLA)



Modern Hebrew creativity of Babylonian Jews was largely unknown to scholars, and therefore excluded from the history of Modern Hebrew literature. In the latest of Prof. Hakak's books, he focuses on the years 1735-1950 and analyzes secular Hebrew poetry written in Babylon at that time, as well as folktales, journalistic articles, epistles, literary scholarship, a story, a play and Hebrew periodicals.


Lev Hakak is Professor of Hebrew Language and Literature in the Near Eastern Languages and Cultures department at UCLA.  He is currently the Editor of Hadoar, The Hebrew Quarterly of America.  Professor Hakak has received a number of awards including the Annual Friedman Award for Contribution to Hebrew Culture (1996) and the Rachel Award for Poetry (1994).  His publications include Modern Hebrew Literature Made into Films (2001) and The Emergence of Modern Hebrew Creativity in Babylon, 1735-1950 (2009).

6275 Bunche Hall

Vincent Brook
(UCLA)

Driven to Darkness:
Jewish Émigre Directors
and the Rise of Film Noir
Faculty/Student Seminar Series

Moderator: Todd Presner (UCLA)



[http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs045/1102885321579/img/64.jpg]

Brook will explore the seminal influence of German-speaking Jewish film directors on the dark American crime genre known as film noir. Although the repercussions of exile and German expressionist aesthetics of filmmakers such as Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, Robert Siodmak, Otto Preminger, and Max Ophuls have been noted as contributing to film noir's evolution, no one has yet examined how these directors' Jewishness crucially factors into the equation.



Vincent Brook has a PhD in film and television from UCLA, and teaches media studies at UCLA, USC, Cal-State LA and Pierce College. He has published dozens of academic articles; edited the anthology You Should See Yourself: Jewish Identity in Postmodern American Culture (2006); and authored two books: Something Ain't Kosher Here: The Rise of the "Jewish" Sitcom (2003), and Driven to Darkness: Jewish Émigré Directors and the Rise of Film Noir (2009).

4-6 PM ·  Thursday, December 2, 2010
USC-University Park Campus
Social Science Building, Room 250

Selective Punishment: Prosecuting Nazis and Terrorists in West Germany
"Holocaust, Genocides and Race Relations in World History"

Rebecca Wittmann
(University of Toronto)

The talk will examine 2 enormous criminal trials that began in 1975 in West Germany: the Majdanek Trial, and the Stammheim Trial of the RAF-terrorists. While at the former, only the most sadistic of Nazi criminals were tried and convicted of murder, at the Stammheim trial, the sentences were much harsher for the four founding members of the left-wing terrorist organization the RAF (Red Army Faction) even though their crimes were lesser in magnitude.
