SUMMARY:Elitzur Bar-Asher Siegal | How Many Grammars Does Jewish Babylonian Aramaic Have?
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, we will explore how languages evolve through linguistic diversity\, aiming to shed light on the intricate relationship between language\, its evolution\, and its transmission through historical texts. Drawing on the principles of sociolinguistics\, we will examine how speakers and writers of a language navigate between competing grammars. We will also explore the intricate process of ancient text transmission through scribes and copyists who acted as language agents with their own competing grammars. \nFocusing on the Babylonian Talmud\, we will demonstrate the linguistic richness and challenges encountered in studying the dialect of Jewish Babylonian Aramaic. The lecture will highlight the methods and tools used by linguists to reconstruct the original grammars of the text\, as well as trace the grammar of copyists from the Middle Ages. By doing so\, we will show how classic philological questions can be answered using linguistic tools. \n  \nAbout the speaker \n\n\n\n\n\nElitzur Bar-Asher Siegal has a BA in Philosophy and Hebrew Language from Hebrew University (1999-2002\, summa cum laude) and PhD from Harvard University (2009). He joined the faculty of the department of Hebrew Language at Hebrew University in 2010 after being the lecturer in Semitics at Yale University (2008-2010). He is also a fellow at the Language\, Logic and Cognition Center at Hebrew University. Elitzur was a visiting professor at Harvard University (Spring 2012)\, the Jacob Perlow Visiting Professor\, Yale University (2017-8) and a short term visiting Professor\, École Pratique des Hautes Études\, Paris (2018-2019). This year he is a visiting professor at Yale University in Judaic Studies and in Linguistics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register for this event\, please visit\nhttps://nelc.ucla.edu/event/elitzur-bar-asher-siegal-how-many-grammars-does-jewish-babylonian-aramaic-have/.

SUMMARY:Pourdavoud Center Lecture Series with Ann Hunnell Chen: Dislodging Disciplinary Silos at Dura-Europos
DESCRIPTION:Founded by the Seleucids\, successively occupied by the Arsacids (Parthians) and Romans\, and spectacularly conquered in a Sasanian siege\, the borderland town of Dura-Europos (Syria) was home throughout its history to a fascinatingly diverse population. Since its initial excavation\, the site has become justly famous thanks to unique circumstances of preservation that resulted in the site’s retention of significant organic materials and other traces of daily life long-vanished elsewhere. Together\, the multiethnicity and significance of the site’s finds make it a rare (and invaluable) archaeological resource that transcends modern disciplinary boundaries. And yet\, the site and its important archaeological resources have been too often considered the purview of ‘Western’ disciplines\, despite the fact that the site’s Arsacid occupation was indeed its longest phase. This talk will first explore how the original excavators’ choices with regard to data-processing and publication strategies have had an enduring impact on who mobilizes Durene data and to what intellectual ends. It will then turn to introduce the efforts of the International (Digital) Dura-Europos Archive (IDEA)\, a project recently funded by the NEH and designed to help cut across the disciplinary silos that still very much shape research on the site. \nAbout the Speaker\nAnne Hunnell Chen is an Assistant Professor in the Art History and Visual Culture and Experimental Humanities Programs at Bard College. She specializes in the art and archaeology of the globally-connected Sasanian and Roman worlds. She has held a fellowship in the Department of the Ancient Near East at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and a postdoctoral associateship in Yale University’s ARCHAIA program for the Study of Premodern Cultures and Societies. She has published on Roman\, Persian\, and Digital Humanities topics\, and is also the founder and co-director of the International (Digital) Dura-Europos Archive (IDEA). Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, IDEA is aimed at dislodging enduring impacts of colonialism through digital reassembly and recontextualization of legacy archaeological data from the site of Dura-Europos (Syria). Dr. Chen also serves as network co-chair and Annotations Activity co-coordinator for the international Pelagios Network. \nThe Zoom webinar link for those wishing to watch the live stream is: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/94721468611
