SUMMARY:Film Screening:WCEE Film Series on Ukraine. *Erase the Nation* (2023\, 56 min)
DESCRIPTION:\"Erase the Nation\" is a documentary war film that sheds light on the tragic chapter of Russian war crimes committed against Ukraine’s national and multicultural heritage. This powerful film highlights the devastation inflicted on museums\, monuments\, archaeological sites and sacred places such as the cathedral in Odessa\, all ruthlessly destroyed by Russian forces who are trying to rewrite history in the name of the chauvinist ideology of “Great Russia''.\n\nHowever\, \"Erase the Nation\" doesn't just capture the destruction. It also reveals the resilience and determination of individuals from the world of culture who are working hard to preserve our common heritage or choose to stand up and join the fight for their homeland. The film pays tribute to these brave souls\, emphasizing that those who perished in the conflict would never have the chance to compose new songs\, direct new films\, or craft new poetry.\n\n\"Erase the Nation\" is a testament to the enduring power of culture\, which proves stronger than the hatred of barbarism. It underscores how even in the face of devastation\, the spirit of art and heritage can shine through\, offering hope and a path toward restoration.\n   \n   Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n   \nTrailer: https://myumi.ch/612M1\n   \n   Tomasz Grzywaczewski is a war journalist\, documentary filmmaker\, and author of nonfiction books with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe. Since February 2022\, he has been serving as a correspondent for the Chief Evening News Service on TVP1\, reporting from Ukraine’s frontline\, adding to his coverage of conflict zones like Donbas\, Kurdistan\, and Nagorno Karabakh. Grzywaczewski has collaborated with numerous media outlets\, including CBS News and Foreign Policy. His recent documentary\, “Erase the Nation\,” has been screened at international forums such as OSCE and UNESCO\, as well as in cities worldwide e.g. Stockholm\, New York\, and Kuala Lumpur.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:When Hebrew Met the Machine
DESCRIPTION:What 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. \n\nIdo Ramati is a senior lecturer at The Noah Mozes Department of Communication and Journalism and the Program in Cultural Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He studies the relation between media technologies\, language and culture\, from historical and philosophical perspectives. Ramati is the author of Lingua Ex Machina: Media in the Revitalization of Modern Hebrew\, out now in University of Pennsylvania press. His current project is on AI voices\, focusing on the shaping of the human voice by historical and contemporary machines.
