Jonathan Judaken University of Memphis Modern European Cultural and Intellectual History U.S. Review Editor _Patterns of Prejudice_ [1] Call for Papers: A special issue of Patterns of Prejudice on the history of anthropology In the current discussions about the role of genetics in the human future, the historical role of anthropology in framing the terms of debate has been marginalized. Yet, from its inception, anthropology was instrumental in establishing a discourse of 'otherness' and in shaping the reception of scientific ideas of human variation. This special issue of Patterns of Prejudice, edited by Dr Dan Stone, will investigate the way in which anthropology became a powerful tool for articulating prejudice, and the way the discipline has radically changed since the Second World War. Articles might address the following topics: * the scientific categorization of 'natives', 'indigenous peoples', immigrants and western people * the role of empirical, scientific undertakings, such as craniology and biometrics * the role of ideas of race * the impact of colonialism on anthropology and vice-versa * the role of romantic ideas, such as primitivism, 'wild men', 'noble savages' * the impact of increasing opportunities for travel and thus of cultural exchange; the 'positive' effects of anthropology * the development of anthropology as an academic discipline and its relation to ethnology, zoology and the biological sciences * the impact of anthropological thought on domestic and colonial policy, and on genocide * the impact of other disciplines, e.g. philosophy, on the development of anthropology as a discipline * the development of anthropology since the Second World War: 'coming to terms with the past', the turn to 'culture' Papers should be approximately 5,000 words and reach the editor by 31 December 2000. Please send papers to Dr Dan Stone, Department of History, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, or by e-mail to d.stone@rhbnc.ac.uk. [2] Comparative Genocide: a Call for Papers Mark Levene will edit a special issue of Patterns of Prejudice, to be published April 2002, the overall theme of which will be 'The persistence of genocide'. The papers published will attempt to provide a snapshot of the current state and development of the relatively new field of comparative genocide, its debates and its relationship to and efficacy in a world where genocide is all too prevalent. Articles that make connections across disciplinary boundaries and those that address the following topics are particularly welcome. * Genocide, ethnic conflict or something else? How does Lemkin's definition of 'genocide' stand up in the twenty-first century? * The nation, the state and genocide now: to what extent are events in Kosovo, Rwanda, Bosnia, East Timor evidence of continuity or change in the nature or location of contemporary genocide? * Genocide 'off the map': the forgotten fate of fourth world peoples * Future prospects for halting or curtailing genocide, e.g. interactions of law and politics * Genocide and gender: how relevant is feminist discourse to understanding genocide? * Genocide and modern culture: how does the nearly ubiquitous term 'genocide' affect our daily lives? Submissions should be no longer than 8,000 words and should reach the editor by 30 June 2001. They should be sent to Dr Mark Levene, Department of History, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK, or by e-mail to M.Levene@warwick.ac.uk. Papers not accepted for the special issue may be considered for publication in another issue of the journal. [3] the Groupuscular Right: a Call for Papers Professor Roger Griffin will edit a special issue of Patterns of Prejudice, to be published in July 2002, devoted to a study of far-right groupuscules. By this is meant political formations of minimal numerical size in terms of membership, and even a merely 'virtual' existence as a magazine or web-site, but which through their contacts and linkages cumulatively form an international network which constitutes an important means of perpetuating and refining far-right and neo-fascist ideology in an age unconducive to mass movements of the extreme right. (For my attempt to examine one of these groups in a wider context, see "Net gains and GUD reactions" in _Patterns of Prejudice_, vol. 33, no. 2, April 1999, on the French student organization, Groupe d'union et de defense.) Please send a) proposals for a c. 5,000 word article on one of these formations that is active anywhere in the (Europeanized) world, or even a defunct group of historical significance, or b) suggestions of experts who could be contacted in this respect to Roger Griffin, Department of History, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford OX3 0BP, e-mail: rdgriffin@brookes.ac.uk. ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Tal Gozani Subject: AJS Panel Participant Needed We am looking for a third participant for a panel on popular Jewish culture in Modern France at the upcoming AJS conference. We already have one paper that explores the themes of nostalgia and urban malaise among late 19th century Jews through a study of the artwork of the caricaturist Alphonse Levy, who created idealized images of rural Alsatian-Jews and their lifestyle. The second paper explores a new genre of popular fiction created by French Jews in the 1920s, which focused on the tensions between Jewish desires for integration and group preservation in contemporary French society. Please contact tgozani@ucla.edu off list if you are interested in joining the panel.

As you know, Ukraine is one of very few countries where textbooks used in schools and universities do not discuss the topic of the Holocaust - the most frightening crime in the history of humankind. Teaching people about the Holocaust is essential for realising contemporary historical process and creating base for opposition to the dynamic of the rising anti-Semitism This project is the first conception of the systematic teaching of history and phenomenon of genocide in Ukraine. Its goal is to provide pupils with information about sources, evolution and consequences of the Holocaust in Ukraine in context of the European experience, to involve them to the psychological and ethnic comprehension of the Holocaust's lessons, to form basis for learning national and religious tolerance, responsibility and mercy for today's youth. The project "Lessons of the Holocaust" realised in the country of Babiy Yar will serve as a teaching tool to provide tolerance and understanding among different nations in Ukraine, and we invite all interested people to share with us the privilege to preserve a memory about this ethnic catastrophe in the hope that such tragic events would never happen again to our descendants. Sincerely, Yana Yanover Director of the Center of Jewish Education Anya Yudkovskaya Director of the Project "Lessons of the Holocaust" ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Linda M. Schloff Subject: Website exhibit: "Unpacking on the Prairie: Jewish Women in the Upper Midwest" The website exhibit of "Unpacking on the Prairie: Jewish Women in the Upper Midwest" draws on an exhibit in real space, the product of a collaboration between the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest and the Minnesota Historical Society.

By visiting our website at www.yap.cat.nyu.edu - you can read histories of the Yiddish theater, hear oral histories, read scripts in Yiddish and English, see photographs and listen to music. Before the explosion of downtown basement theaters hit the lower east side, the Yiddish theaters ruled the neighborhood, with theaters of 3000 seats and more. The movie theater on Second Avenue and 12th Street is the former home of Maurice Schwartz's Yiddish Art Theater - the longest running repertory theater in New York City's history. Actors Joseph Buloff, Stella Adler, Paul Muni, Rudolph Schildraut, Jacob Ben-Ami, lighting designers Abe Feder (the Empire State Building), set designers Sam Leve (Citizen Kane) and Boris Aronson are just a few of the greats who learned their trade on the Yiddish stage before transforming English language theater with their talent. The history of the Yiddish theater - begun in the late 1800s, by Boris Thomashefsky (the grandfather of Michael Tilson Thomas) whose first venue was Turn Hall (the present home of La MaMa)- is a particularly glorious chapter in the history of American Theater. Its impact on our culture (hello Jerry Lewis, Danny Kay, Jerry Seinfeld, Lenny Bruce, The Three Stooges, ah the modern Broadway musical) has yet to be properly recognized and its influence continues up to the present day. (Leonard Nimoy acted in Yiddish with Maurice Schwartz, Yiddish actor manager Herman Yablokoff was the first to mike actors on stage) Please send us your comments and suggestions when you have a chance to look through the site. Visit www.yap.cat.nyu.edu and remember we update our site daily so tell us what you want to see. A Shaynem Dank.
