    Abstract: This essay examines the problematic intersections of gender, language and territory—in short, the negotiation of belonging—articulated in the pages of the Tsushtayer literary journal (1929-1931) by Yiddish women writers who contributed to the publication. As a noun, tsushtayer means “contribution,” but the verb tsushtayern may be used in the sense of “reaching the shore,” an intentional polysemy that leads directly to the mission of this journal, published in interwar Poland. Tsushtayer strove to reach beyond reductive discourses of territorialism and nationalism and discuss ways of linguistic non-territorial belonging, representing a literary quasi-territory and also offering a platform for the contributions of women writers. In their essays, reviews and poetic works, Rokhl Oyerbakh, Dvoyre Fogel, Kadya Molodowsky and others pondered issues of gender, especially the challenges faced by Jewish women intellectuals and writers creating space for themselves in Yiddish literature, Jewish culture and broader societal formations.

    Abstract: This arti­cle focus­es on three bal­lads by Itzik Manger (Di balade fun der zind, Di balade fun gasn-mey­dl, Di balade fun der zoyne un dem shlankn husar) and two bal­lads by Deb­o­ra Vogel (Balade fun a gasn-mey­dl I un II). We argue that Manger and Vogel sub­vert the bal­lad genre and gen­der hier­ar­chies by depict­ing promis­cu­ous female embod­i­ment, the­atri­cal­i­ty, and the val­u­a­tion of ​“low­brow” cul­ture of shund in their sophis­ti­cat­ed poet­ic prac­tices. These polyph­o­nous texts inte­grate the­atri­cal and folk­loric song ele­ments into ​“high­brow” Mod­ernist aes­thet­ics. Fur­ther­more, these works by Manger and Vogel draw from both Euro­pean influ­ences and Jew­ish cul­tur­al tra­di­tions; they con­tend with urban moder­ni­ty, as well as the resul­tant changes in the struc­tures of Jew­ish life. By con­sid­er­ing the image of the street­walk­er in Manger’s and Vogel’s work, we deep­en the under­stand­ing of Yid­dish cre­ativ­i­ty as ulti­mate­ly mul­ti­modal and interconnected.

    Abstract: This ground-breaking collection features the oeuvre of Debora Vogel (1900-1942), a Modernist Polish and Yiddish writer, philosopher, translator, and art critic. The author’s poems are examples of Cubist-Constructivist experimentation in a language that is at once lyrical and philosophical.Vogel’s poetry challenges every notion of writing in Yiddish literature from the author’s lifetime to ours. The writer’s prose collection transplants experiments in photography, film, and painting, into the literary medium. Vogel’s articles deal with a variety of topics ranging from abstract art, and individual artists like Marc Chagall and Fernand Leger, to matters of applied arts, including discussions of the interiors of modern apartments, the typography of children’s books, and an overview of fashion exhibitions. In addition, Vogel’s essays examine racism and anti-Semitism, the tasks of progressive intellectuals’ engagement in the society, and the use of literary montage as a way literature ‘does politics.’ Vogel’s extensive travels to Berlin, Stockholm, Vienna, and Paris, and her intimate familiarity with the cityscapes of her native Lwów are reflected in her writings. Vogel’s multimodal writing could be read in conjunction with Giorgio de Chirico’s, Pablo Picasso’s, or El Lissitsky’s paintings, Max Ernst’s painterly and writerly experiments, or Fritz Lang’s, Dziga Vertov’s, and Sergei Eisenstein’s films. Lyubas situates Vogel as the key, yet unrecognized figure for thought and literature of the early and late 20th century, as well as a thinker whose insights are crucial to grasp the contemporary socio-political issues. This is the first collection of Vogel’s writings in English translation

    Abstract: "Debora Vogel (1900-1942) wrote in Yiddish unlike anyone else. Yiddish, her fourth language after Polish, Hebrew, and German, became the central vehicle for her modernist experiments in poetry and prose. This ground-breaking collection presents the work of a strikingly original yet overlooked author, art critic and intellectual, and resituates Vogel as an important figure in the constellation of European modernity. Vogel's astute observations on art, literature, and psychology in her essays, her bold prose experiments inspired by photography and film, and Cubist poetry that both challenges and captivates invite the reader on a journey of discovery-into the microcosm of the talented thinker marked by tragic fate and the macrocosm of Jewish history and Poland's turbulent 20th century"--
