  • The Quintessential S. Ansky // The Sprit of Sakha (ASEEES)

    At the 2019 ASEEES Conference, PhD student Raya Shapiro shares with SlavX host Samantha about their research on the Jewish émigré playwright and author S. Ansky. And then, anthropoligist Jenanne Ferguson from the University of Nevada talks about the language of Sakha (Yakut) and the intrinsic spirit of all languages.

    ABOUT THE GUESTS:

    Raya Shapiro is a 3rd year PhD student at the University of Illinois Chicago. They are interested in how late 19th/early 20th century Eastern European Jewish writers used different languages - for politics, for publication, for practicality - and how their multilingualism creatively shaped the languages they chose to write in (Polish, Russian, Yiddish, German). They have managed to write at least one paper about S. An-sky for every seminar this year.

    Jenanne K. Ferguson of the University of Nevada currently researches the maintenance and transmission of the Sakha (Yakut) language in northeastern Siberia, Russia, through the lens of mobility by and through language. Her dissertation works dealt with ways of speaking Sakha among Sakha-Russian bilinguals living in urban and rural regions and the language ideologies shaping their language choices and practices. Ongoing and future work deals with the revitalization and transformation of Sakha oral literary genres and the local creation of new online spaces (e.g. social networking, SMS, Wikipedia) for Sakha language transmission and usage, as well as a project comparing the politics and aesthetics of indigenous storytelling in Canada and Russia. She also has worked on questions and themes with Canadian indigenous languages. A native Canadian, she earned her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Aberdeen in 2013.
