SUMMARY:UM Frankel Center Event - Magic and its Malcontents: Historiography as Heresiology
DESCRIPTION:Shaily Shashikant Patel\, Virginia Tech \n“Strange things circulate below our streets\,” Michel de Certeau writes. For him\, coherent historiographies elide incoherent realities and give the illusion of a past which can be tidily reconstructed. The study of “magic” in early Christian literature illustrates how such scholarly preference for coherence occludes ancient ambiguities. Prevailing methodologies emphasize the “constructedness” of magic\, defining it as a polemical charge levied at theological outsiders. This methodology obtains in early Christian studies even as adjacent fields refine their ideas of ancient magic. Rather tellingly\, this methodology also presupposes that theological insiders exist in our earliest sources. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Shaily Patel\, Virginia Tech\, discuss how these polemical notions of “magic” make historians into heresiologists. Like our ancient counterparts\, we dismiss what troubles the scholarly orthodoxy of nascent Christianity as opposed to magic. Perhaps we agree with de Certeau that history is never sure\, but our methodologies yield the same illusory certainty adopted by heresiologists who helped ossify Christian orthodoxy. Ancient magic exposes our heresiological inclinations and forces us to contend with what lingers below our streets. \n“A history that is never sure is not no history; rather\, it is a history of possibility.” \nRegister here: https://myumi.ch/4pxv3

SUMMARY:UM Frankel Center Event – “I Know Who Caused COVID-19":  Pandemics and Xenophobia
DESCRIPTION:  \nSander Gilman\, Emory University \nZhou Xun\, University of Essex \nwith Alaa Murad\, Brandeis University \nOne of the most evident manifestation of the present pandemic has been the blaming of traditional (and non-traditional) out-groups for causing or spreading the virus. The Chinese\, Muslims\, Ultra-Orthodox Jews\, American White Nationalists among other groups have been blamed. Central to our recently published book “I Know Who Caused COVID-19″: Pandemics and Xenophobia (Reaktion Press / University of Chicago Press) is the question of what happens when such groups are blamed and simultaneously at fault? Dr. Gilman and Dr. Zhou examined a series of case studies but closed our book on January 20\, 2021. The story continues past that date to the present and they will address both the first year as well as the present Delta surge in the light of our model of xenophobia and pandemics in this symposium with the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies and the Jewish Muslim Research Network. \nAdvanced Registration Required: https://myumi.ch/Axw1y \nDr ZHOU\, Xun is the reader in History at the University of Essex.

She is the author of The People’s Health: Health Intervention and Delivery in Mao’s China\, 1949-1983 (McGill-Queen University Press\, 2020)\, the first systematic study on health care and medicine in Mao’s China. From the onset of the Covid-19 crisis\, she has been regularly interviewed by major media outlets from the BBC to the Financial Times\, the Guardian\, the New York Times\, and Aljazeera\, to name a few\, to comment on the outbreak in Wuhan and the Chinese health system as well as to speak on historical correlates of the global pandemic. \nSander L. Gilman is a distinguished professor emeritus of the Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as emeritus Professor of Psychiatry at Emory University. A cultural and literary historian\, he is the author or editor of over one hundred books. His “I Know Who Caused COVID-19”: Pandemics and Xenophobia (with Zhou Xun) appeared with Reaktion Press (London) in 2021; his most recent edited volume is The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Body (with Youn Kim) published in 2019 with Oxford University Press. He is the author of the basic study of the visual stereotyping of the mentally ill\, Seeing the Insane\, pu \nblished by John Wiley and Sons in 1982 (reprinted: 1996 and 2014) as well as the standard study of Jewish Self-Hatred\, the title of his Johns Hopkins University Press monograph of 1986\, which is still in print. For twenty-five years he was a member of the humanities and medical faculties at Cornell University where he held the Goldwin Smith Professorship of Humane Studies. For six years he held the Henry R.

SUMMARY:“Was Paul an Apocalyptic Jew? A Case in Jewish Diversity in the Second Temple Period”
DESCRIPTION:Conference Chairs: Gabriele Boccaccini; Lisa Bowens; Emma Wasserman; Loren Stuckenbruck \nSecretary: Joshua Scott \nPaul of Tarsus was born\, lived and died a Jew. Raised as a Pharisee\, he then joined the early Jesus movement\, a first-century Jewish apocalyptic and messianic group. Paul became one of the most vocal leaders of the new movement and promoted its expansion among the gentiles. The conference\, organized by the Enoch Seminar and the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies\, aims to move Pauline research to a further stage\, beyond reclaiming Paul to Second Temple Judaism and proving that “he was not Lutheran.” By taking Paul’s Jewishness as a shared starting point\, the conference explores the figure of Paul within Second Temple Judaism in a line of continuity with the Jewish apocalyptic tradition (and the Enochic tradition in particular)\, not as an apostate of Judaism but as part of the vibrant Jewish diversity of the time. \nThe conference will not be aimed at a general audience\, but will instead bring together a group of selected specialists. It will be a workshop with discussion sessions introduced by oral presentations by specialists\, more than a series of papers. The goal is to gather all major specialists working in the field and have plenty of time for discussion. \nFor more information\, contact the conference secretary\, Joshua Scott (scottjos@umich.edu). \nRegister for this virtual event here: https://tinyurl.com/p6kr29j5 \nParticipation is limited to members of academia. As this meeting is closed to the general public\, the registration process is not automatic; please be patient if there is a delay in the receipt of your registration. \n  \nSchedule\nMONDAY Oct 25\, 2021: \n9am-11am — Opening session: Paul & Apocalypticism \nJohn J.

SUMMARY:The Three Paths to Salvation of Paul the Jew
DESCRIPTION:A Virtual Book Review of Gabriele Boccaccini’s Paul’s Three Path’s to Salvation \nWhat did Paul\, as an apocalyptic Jew and follower of Jesus\, think about the concept of Salvation? Paul did not convert nor break with his inherited traditions but was part of the lively diversity of Second Temple Judaism. Boccaccini’s ‘Paul’s Three Paths to Salvation’ is an attempt to reconcile the many facets of Paul’s complex Jewish identity while reclaiming him from accusations of intolerance. Boccaccini’s work in reestablishing Paul as a messenger of God’s mercy to sinners is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about Paul’s place in the contemporary pluralistic world. \nThis review panel includes an introduction by the author (Gabriele Boccaccini)\, review presentations by Lisa Bowens (Princeton Theological Seminary)\, Isaac Oliver (Bradley University)\, Matthew Novenson (University of Edinburgh)\, Cecilia Wassen (Uppsala University)\, and Emma Wasserman (Rutgers University)\, followed by an open dialogue among participants. \nRegister for this virtual event here: https://tinyurl.com/a3szndvk \nContact judaicstudies@umich.edu for further information.

SUMMARY:Frankel Institute Event Series: Stranger Still: Translating Contemporary Poetry from Israel/Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Rita Kogan\, Alex Moshkin and Zackary Sholem Berger \nThis series showcases the diversity of poetic voices from Israel/Palestine through the lens of translation. Each event features a multilingual poetry reading and a conversation between poets and translators on the careful negotiations that are involved in the act of translation\, highlighting work that creates its own currents against and beyond the Israeli mainstream. \nRita Kogan is a feminist poet and translator in Israel\, producing original verse in Hebrew and translations from her native Russian. Born in Leningrad in 1976 and immigrating to Israel in 1990\, Kogan explores the challenges that Russian-speaking women encounter in their daily life in Israel\, including ethnic discrimination\, sexual abuse\, and the difficulty of expressing sexuality in a patriarchal society. In her poems\, we also encounter a poet full of joie-de-vivre\, one who revels in love and literature. She is the author of Rishayon li-shegiot ketiv (License to Misspell\, 2015) and Sus bahatzait (Horse in a Skirt\, 2018)\, a runner-up for the prestigious Gardner Simon Prize for Hebrew poetry\, and translator of works by Anna Akhmatova\, Marina Tsvetaeva\, Osip Mandelstam\, Joseph Brodsky\, and others. \nAlex Moshkin is a Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His book project\, Russophone Culture in Israel: In Search of Identity\, analyzes contemporary Russian literature\, cinema\, and visual art in Israel. He is also currently working on an English-language anthology of contemporary Russian-Israeli poetry. \nZackary Sholem Berger is a poet and translator in Baltimore working in and among English\, Yiddish\, and Hebrew\, with occasional forays into other languages. His latest book is All the Holes Line Up (2019); a volume of his translations of the Yiddish prose poetry of Avrom Sutzkever is due out soon. \nAdvance Registration Required: https://forms.gle/bgutJ2PWSJatUuNN7\nThe Zoom Webinar link and password will be sent to registrants before the event.
