SUMMARY:La Ironía y Anticlericalismo En Halma
DESCRIPTION:UCSC Spanish Studies and the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Present: \nLA IRONÍA Y ANTICLERICALISMO EN HALMA \nÁLVARO ROMERO MARCO (UCSC) \nMás allá de las clasificaciones y evoluciones que la crítica ha venido realizando\, la novelística de Galdós es consecuencia de su ideología\, pues la realidad es observada y transformada a través de su apuesta por la modernidad. En el caso de Halma\, los pilares que sustentan la enseñanza que quiere trasmitir el autor son la distancia socarrona y un convencido anticlericalismo; una ironía sin acidez y siempre constructiva y una desconfianza en la institución eclesiástica que nunca significa un ataque a la visión religiosa de la existencia. Tradicionalmente esta novela\, que Ediciones Alfar tiene a bien ofrecer al lector\, ha sido editada y analizada a la sombra de la famosa “segunda manera” y\, particularmente\, como la segunda parte de Nazarín. Esta edición presenta la obra aislándola de esas ataduras para que pueda ser leída de manera independiente. En cualquier caso\, no hay duda de que Halma es otra de las grandes novelas del autor. \n\n\n*Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Tony Michels: "Soviet America: The Russian Revolution in Jewish Life”
DESCRIPTION:The Russian Revolution of 1917 radically altered American Jewish politics.  Whereas most Americans viewed the revolution as a threat to western civilization\, Jews wished for the success of the Bolsheviks\, who offered the only possibility of rescue from the mass slaughter carried out by anti-Communist forces.   A minority of Jews went so far as to join the American Communist Part with the hope of replicating the Russian Revolution on American soil.   Although only a minority\, Communists put forward a persistently attractive alternative to the dominant model of Americanization\, according to which Jews ought to integrate into a liberal\, political order.   In the decades following the Russian Revolution\, American Jews moved between competing poles of Communism and liberalism and\, simultaneously\,  between competing ideals of universalism and Jewish particularity.  All the while\, Jews wrestled with the question of totalitarianism\, one of the most divisive questions of the twentieth century.   What was Soviet Russia?   Was it a daring social experiment that wedded scientific planning with ideals of equality in all areas of human endeavor?  Or was the Soviet Union a vast prison system built upon ruthless repression of the working class?  Over a four decade period\, from the outbreak of the Russian Revolution until the end of the Second World War\, a period framed by enormous catastrophes yet animated by utopian visions of social justice\, American Jews defined themselves in relation to the Soviet Union. \nTony Michels is George L. Mosse Associate Professor of American Jewish History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He teaches courses in American Jewish history\, with a special emphasis on immigration\, politics\, and comparative ethnic history\, as well as courses in labor history and radical political movements. His research focuses on the political and cultural history of the Jews. He is author of A Fire in Their Hearts: Yiddish Socialists in New York (2005)\, winner of the Salo Baron Prize from the American Academy for Jewish Research\, and Jewish Radicals: A Documentary History (2012). He is currently working on a book about the relationship of American Jews to Soviet Russia between the 1920s and 1960s. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

In general\, I’m confident this will be a really fun series with a lot of writers with great senses of humor as well as deep interests in the political.” – Professor Micah Perks \nThis event is free and open to the public!
