SUMMARY:JEWISH STUDIES FACULTY STUDENT RESEARCH SEMINAR
DESCRIPTION:
 "A Geography of Mourning: Jewish American Narratives"\n
 \n
 Steve 
 Weiland, Michigan State University\n
 \n
 Steve 
 Weiland explores autobiographical 
 accounts of mourning, distinguishing those 
 that follow the traditional path (e.g., the 
 year of synagogue-based observance) from those 
 that are historical, genealogical, and often 
 geographical, or featuring travel to Eastern 
 Europe in search of origins. In the first 
 category are narratives like Ari Goldman's  
 "A Year of Kaddish"; in the second are tales 
 like Nancy Miller's "What Was Saved: Pieces of 
 a Jewish Past." These texts allow for a look 
 at the level of the individual at questions 
 of Jewish-American identity as they appeared 
 last year in the Pew Research Center's "Portrait 
 of Jewish Americans." \n
