1	Isaac Bábel: escrevendo a revolução em linhas tortas / Issac Babel: writing the revolution on tortuous lines Ferrari, Marcos Vinicius 22 June 2017 (has links) Este ensaio tem como objetivo apresentar uma leitura do livro O exército de cavalaria, do escritor Isaac Bábel (1894-1940). A leitura empreendida buscou investigar as relações dialéticas entre o texto ficcional e a História, uma vez que as narrativas de Bábel abordam a Campanha Russo-Polonesa, ocorrida entre 1920 e 1921. Ao mesmo tempo, as formas particulares de representação do heroico e do épico, que permitem compreender O exército de cavalaria como uma espécie de epopeia falhada, conduziram a uma reflexão a respeito do realismo babeliano e da possibilidade de caracterizar o seu livro como um romance. Nele, fragmentação, a organização não linear e episódica dos conflitos, a recusa à ordem cronológica e a variedade de narradores e vozes do texto parecem, todos, encenar a dificuldade de a forma romanesca tradicional incorporar esteticamente uma matéria contraditória e convulsa. / This essay aims to present a reading of the book Red Calvary, from Isaac Babel (1893 - 1940). The perusal undertaken sought to investigate the dialetic relations between History and fictional texts, once the Bábel\'s narratives approach the Russian-Polish Civil War, which occurred between 1920 and 1921. At the same time, the particular forms of representation of the heroic and of the epic allowed to understand Red Calvary as a kind of failed epic and conducted to a reflection about babelian realism and the possibility of characterizing his book as a novel. On the book, fragmentation, non-linear and episodic organization of conflicts, the refusal to chronological order and the variety of narrators and voices of the text seem to stage the difficulty of the romanesque traditional form to aesthethically incorporate the experience of the war and of the contradicting and convulse matter.

2	Jewish Religion on Trial : Understanding Isaac Babel’s Short Story "Karl-Yankel" Rep, Marco January 2018 (has links) The subject of this thesis is the short story "Карл-Янкель" ("Karl-Yankel") by Russian-Jewish writer Isaac Babel (1894‒1940), published in 1931. The story depicts a trial following the cir-cumcision of a boy against his parents’ will, and thus directly addresses issues of high relevance at the time, namely the transformations of religious life in the early years of the Soviet Union. Firstly, I have analyzed the references to Jewish culture that appear in the story. Further on, drawing on research by other scholars, I have examined the shift of the traditional Jew into a Soviet Jew—a highly secular subject deeply involved in the socialist society and far removed from the traditions of the Pale of Settlement. Lastly, I have studied the narrator’s perspective, which, being far from objective, plays a major role in portraying the trial and is of key im-portance for understanding the transformation of Jewish life that occurred in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. At the end of the story, the narrator deprives the reader of the verdict and gives in-stead his attention to the circumcised boy. I argue that he thus focused on the future rather than on the conflict between tradition and secularism. Isaac Babel Karl-Yankel Judaism identity Russian-Jewish literature.

5	New men for a new world: reconstituted masculinities in Jewish-Russian literature (1903 – 1925) Calof, Ethan 01 May 2019 (has links) This Master’s thesis explores Jewish masculinity and identity within early twentieth-century literature (1903-1925), using texts written by Jewish authors in late imperial Russia and the early Soviet Union. This was a period of change for Russia’s Jewish community, involving increased secularization and reform, massive pogroms such as in Kishinev in 1903, newfound leadership within the 1905 and 1917 Revolutions, and a rise in both Zionist and Revolutionary ideology. Subsequently, Jewish literary masculinity experienced a significant shift in characterization. Historically, a praised Jewish man had been portrayed as gentle, scholarly, and faithful, yet early twentieth century Jewish male literary figures were asked to be physically strong, hypermasculine, and secular. This thesis first uses H.N. Bialik’s “In the City of Slaughter” (1903) and Sholem Aleichem’s “Tevye Goes to Palestine” (1914) to introduce a concept of “Jewish shame,” or a sentiment that historical Jewish masculinity was insufficient for a contemporary Russian world. It then creates two models for these new men to follow. The Assimilatory Jew, seen in Isaac Babel’s Red Cavalry cycle (published throughout the 1920s), held that perpetual outsider Jewish men should imitate the behaviour of a secular whole in order to be accepted. The Jewish Superman is depicted in Vladimir Jabotinsky’s “In Memory of Herzl” (1904) and Ilya Selvinsky’s “Bar Kokhba” (1920), and argues that masculine glory is entirely compatible with a proud Jewish identity, without an external standard needed. Judith Butler’s theories on gender performativity are used to analyze these diverse works, published in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Russian by authors of varying political alignments, to establish commonalities among these literary canons and plot a new spectrum of desired identities for Jewish men. / Graduate / 2020-04-10 Russian literature Jewish literature Jewish masculinity masculinity Russian Jewish Ze'ev Jabotinsky Jewish identity Russian Jewry Red Cavalry Russian Civil War Zionist masculinity Early Zionism Bolshevism Late Imperial Russia New Soviet Man Hayyim Nahman Bialik Hebrew literature Yiddish literature Ilya Selvinsky Isaac Babel Kishinev pogrom 1903 Kishinev pogrom 1905 October Revolution 1917 Russian Revolution pale of settlement Sholem Aleichem Tevye the Dairyman Bar Kokhba
