SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Diasporic Hebrew to World Hebrew: on the Theoretical Evolution of a 21st-Century Hebrew Journal in Ashkenaz
DESCRIPTION:Tal Hever-Chybowski\, editor of Mikan Ve’eylakh: Journal for Diasporic Hebrew (Berlin and Paris)\, will discuss the theoretical evolution behind this annual journal\, whose first issue was published in June 2016. He will talk about the theoretical\, historical and symbolic premises of the project from its beginning eight years ago\, and pay particular attention to the transformation of these ideas over time. The lecture will address conceptual problems of defining ‘diasporic Hebrew.’ Namely\, it will be inquired whether ‘diasopric Hebrew’ can be defined in positive terms\, or must rather rely\, conceptually\, on the existence of a ‘non-‘ or an ‘anti-Diasporic Hebrew’. More practically\, the lecture will explore what it means to write Hebrew “diasporically”\, also from a linguistic point of view. Finally\, Hever-Chybowski will expose the ways in which the concept of “World Hebrew” may offer new theoretical possibilites by adding temporality to the spatial definition of ‘Diasporic Hebrew’. The lecture will conclude with a sketch of further theoretical developments regarding Hebrew and Diaspora\, which are planned for the upcoming issue (June 2017).
