SUMMARY:JCC: Book Series - Six Days in Bombay by Alka Joshi
DESCRIPTION:Six Days in Bombay by Alka Joshi\n\nRegister Here\n\n\nSet in 1937\, the novel follows Sona\, a young Anglo-Indian nurse\, as she travels from Bombay to Istanbul\, Prague\, Florence\, Paris\, and London to uncover the mystery behind a famous painter’s death. Sona\, born to an Indian mother and abandoned by her British father\, is a nurse in Bombay who struggles with her dual identity. When Mira Novak\, a famous half-Indian painter\, arrives at the hospital after a miscarriage\, Sona becomes captivated by her stories of worldly adventure and reckless love. Over the course of a week\, the women develop a special bond and when Mira dies under mysterious circumstances\, Sona immediately falls under suspicion.\n\nThe key to proving Sona’s innocence may lie in a cryptic note and four paintings Mira left in her care\, sending her on a mission to visit the painter’s former friends and lovers across a tumultuous Europe teetering on war. As Sona leaves her quiet\, sheltered life in Bombay behind\, she’s thrust into cultures and situations she’s never had to face\,\nlearning valuable lessons\, growing in her independence\, and confronting her own painful past. She also learns her beloved Mira’s charming façade hid a complicated\, troubled soul. \nAlka Joshi is the internationally bestselling author of the Jaipur Trilogy: The Henna Artist\, The Secret Keeper of Jaipur and The Perfumist of Paris. She has a BA from Stanford University and an MFA from California College of Arts and spent 30 years in the fields of advertising and marketing before pivoting to a full-time career as a novelist. Her fourth novel\, Six Days in Bombay (4/15/25)\, is a sweeping travelogue of a young Indian women’s journey from 1937 India to a turbulent Europe as she comes into her own. Alka has spoken to well over 900 bookclubs\, literary festivals\, colleges and corporations about her writing journey.

SUMMARY:U-M Frankel Center Event: When Hebrew Met the Machine
DESCRIPTION:A Book Talk with Ido Ramati  \nTuesday\, February 10 from 5:00 – 6:30 PM \nRoom 2022\, South Thayer Building \nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/W6Ard \nSpecial Guest: Ido Ramati (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)\, Moderator: Shachar Pinsker \nWhat happens when an ancient language meets modern technology? This lecture will discuss the role played by media technologies—such as the phonograph\, typewriters\, the telegraph\, and computers—in the revitalization and modernization of Hebrew since the end of the nineteenth century. After lying dormant for two millennia as a mainly written language\, Hebrew awoke from its literary slumber and became a living modern vernacular. The revitalization of Hebrew is unique and unprecedented in world history\, and it has been studied in various fields; but the role of modern media technologies in mediating this revival has not yet been considered. This lecture will delve into questions such as: what was the role of sound recording technologies in shaping the reemerging modern Hebrew speech? And how did the Hebraized typewrite pushed for the modernization of writing in Hebrew?. It will show how these media\, whose emergence ran in historical parallel to the revitalization of Hebrew\, were an active force in shaping the language as a modern communicative medium. Hebrew was a historical media lab: written from right to left and in unique script\, it posed technical as well as conceptual challenges to media which were originally designed for Latin script and Western writing systems. The adaptation of these technologies to Hebrew required various adaptations that shaped lingual mechanisms\, which had social and political ramifications on the emerging Hebrew culture.

This lecture\nwill discuss the role played by media technologies—such as the phonograph\,\ntypewriters\, the telegraph\, and computers—in the revitalization and\nmodernization of Hebrew since the end of the nineteenth century. After lying\ndormant for two millennia as a mainly written language\, Hebrew awoke from its\nliterary slumber and became a living modern vernacular. The revitalization of\nHebrew is unique and unprecedented in world history\, and it has been studied\nin various fields; but the role of modern media technologies in mediating this\nrevival has not yet been considered. This lecture will delve into questions\nsuch as: what was the role of sound recording technologies in shaping the\nreemerging modern Hebrew speech? And how did the Hebraized typewrite pushed\nfor the modernization of writing in Hebrew?. It will show how these media\,\nwhose emergence ran in historical parallel to the revitalization of Hebrew\,\nwere an active force in shaping the language as a modern communicative medium.\nHebrew was a historical media lab: written from right to left and in unique\nscript\, it posed technical as well as conceptual challenges to media which\nwere originally designed for Latin script and Western writing systems. The\nadaptation of these technologies to Hebrew required various adaptations that\nshaped lingual mechanisms\, which had social and political ramifications on the\nemerging Hebrew culture. \nOrganized by: U-M Frankel Center for Judaic Studies \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/13596
