This day will feature presentations from PhD students in the Granovsky-Gluskin Collaborative Program in Jewish Studies. With panels on problems of bodie s, communities, and identities, the topic of Jewish Problems highlights the scope and immediate relevance and stakes of what it means to “do” Jew ish Studies. By examining problems in, around, and surrounding Jewish te xts and histories, this conference aims to trace how Jewish problems disc ursively occupy a range of cultural and literary spaces as well as the ten sions of negotiating and translating these problems within and between dif ferent communities.The conference has the pleasure of featuring an incredi ble keynote by Dr. Dorota Glowacka of University of King's College titled\ , 'Hidden in translation: The (gendered) politics of translating Polish la nguage diaries written by youth into English.' With panels on problems of bodies, communities, and identities, the topic of Jewish Problems highl ights the scope and immediate relevance and stakes of what it means to “do ” Jewish Studies.

Co nsidering the factors that precipitated the translation of these particula r texts (but not others), I draw attention to the differences in historic al, discursive and gendered contexts occupied by the original texts and t heir English-language translations. I am interested in the role of transla tion in either entrenching, negotiating, or transforming different modal ities of memory politics in North America and in Central and Eastern Europ e. The diaries, especially those written by youth, elude categorisation\ , dwelling in the liminal space between a historical document and a litera ry artefact. I ask about the role of translation in refashioning a private record into a work of Holocaust literature, and, in the case of diaries written by young women, into products of popular culture. I also conside r intertextual translatory dynamic of the diaries (whose authors were mult ilingual), arguing that they anticipate what I’d like to call the “transl atory turn” in Holocaust studies.I primarily focus on four diaries: Dawid Sierakowiak (Łódź ghetto), Rutka Laskier (Będzin ghetto), Rywka Lipszyc (Łódź ghetto), and Melania Weissenberg/Molly Applebaum (Dąbrowa Tarnowska ghetto/in hiding). I aim to re-signify Walter Benjamin’s injunction that the task of the translator “is to release in his own language that pure la nguage which is under the spell of another” in the context of post-Holocau st “ecologies of witnessing” (Hanna Pollin-Galay). I suggest that the incr easing attention to the role of translation in shaping the postmemorial la ndscape is related to the emergent awareness of the Western-centric dynami c that structures relations between cultures. I postulate a move toward de colonial modes of translating Holocaust texts, which are intersectional, emplaced, and fundamentally relational.Dorota Glowacka is Professor of H umanities at the University of King’s College in K’jipuktuk/ Halifax, Can ada. Glowacka is the author of From the Other Side: Testimony, Affect, I magination, 2017, and Disappearing Traces: Holocaust Testimonials, Ethi cs, and Aesthetics, 2012. She coedited Imaginary Neighbors: Mediating Po lish-Jewish Relations after the Holocaust, 2007, and Between Ethics and Aesthetics: Crossing the Boundaries, 2002. Most recently, she co-edited\ , with Regina Mülhauser, a special issue of Journal for Holocaust Researc h on gender-based and sexual violence during the Holocaust. Glowacka has p ublished numerous book chapters and journal articles in the area of Holoca ust and genocide studies, continental philosophy, and gender and memory studies. Her current research focuses on gender and the Holocaust, the in tersections of the Holocaust and settler colonial genocides in North Ameri ca, and the politics of translating Holocaust diaries and memoirs. She is a member of the Academic Committee of the Mandel Center for Advanced Holo caust Research at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and a partic ipant in the international research consortium Thinking Through the Museum .   *** This keynote lecture will be delivered in-person in JHB100 (170 St .
