SUMMARY:The Objects that Remain: Criminal Evidence\, Holocaust Artifacts\, and Work of Doing Justice
DESCRIPTION:Public lecture by Laura Levitt sponsored with the Department of Jewish\, Islamic\, and Middle Eastern Studies (JIMES) Washington University in Saint Louis\, Missouri \n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding from her book\, The Objects That Remain\, Laura Levitt will consider the ways in which the material remains of violent crimes inform our experience of\, and thinking about\, trauma and loss. She will do this by focusing on artifacts in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and evidence in police storage facilities across the United States. What might it mean to do justice to violent pasts outside the juridical system or through historical empiricism\, the dominant ways in which we think about evidence from violent crimes and other highly traumatic events? What do the objects that remain and the stories that surround them enable and what forms of intimacy are possible in our lives after? Levitt offers a form of companionship as a different kind of reckoning where justice becomes an animating process of telling and holding. While addressing the afterlives of trauma\, she will also consider the relationship between traumatic once ordinary objects and those we continue to live with. What possessions do we let go of and which ones do we keep? \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to all. Umrath Lounge is open seating and doors will open at 4:30 p.m. for this event. \n\n\n\nPlease register at rap@wustl.edu or 314-935-9345 so we can appropriately plan. \n\n\n\nAbout the speakersLaura Levitt is Professor of Religion\, Jewish Studies\, and Gender at Temple University where she has chaired the Religion Department and directed both the Jewish Studies and the Gender\, Sexuality\, and Women’s Studies Programs. \n\n\n\nLevitt is the author The Objects that Remain (Penn State University Press\, November 2020); American Jewish Loss after the Holocaust (2007); and Jews and Feminism: The Ambivalent Search for Home (1997). With Laurence Silberstein and Shelley Hornstein\, she edited Impossible Images: Contemporary Art After the Holocaust (2003)\, and with Miriam Peskowitz she edited Judaism Since Gender (1997). Laura Levitt edits NYU Press’s North American Religions Series with Tracy Fessenden (Arizona State University) and David Harrington Watt (Haverford College). \n\n\n\nShe currently chairs the Committee on Sexual Misconduct for the Association for Jewish Studies (AJS) and led the task force that created and implemented this learned society’s sexual misconduct policies and procedures.

SUMMARY:Afterlives of Trauma: Post-Holocaust Art\, Writing and Memory
DESCRIPTION:This talk will consider what artistic and literary works\, especially those created after the Holocaust can teach us about the Shoah\, its memory and its commemoration. It will address some of the ways artist Mauricio Lasansky confronted this legacy in his haunting series “The Nazi Drawings” alongside other works of post-Holocaust art and writing. It will explore how such works enable very different viewers and visitors to confront the Holocaust. The talk will show how “The Nazi Drawings” enacts as well as facilitates a kind of conversation where different traumatic legacies and losses touch. Such encounters do not make these experiences one and the same but rather allow different legacies to illuminate each other. \n\n\n\nThis presentation is part of the exhibition Envisioning Evil: “The Nazi Drawings” by Mauricio Lasansky. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is presented in partnership with the Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center.\n\n\n\nhttps://artisnaples.org/events/museum-lecture.2223.1103 \n\n\n\nYou MayAlso Like\n\n\n\nThe Baker Museum Exhibition Lectures  \n\n\n\nPlan Your Visit\n\n\n\n Ticket Policy Security and Bag Policies Health and Safety Museum Admission Map—Directions Food—Beverage Seating Charts Group Tickets Accessibility Parking Arrival FAQ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://artisnaples.org/events/museum-lecture.2223.1103

SUMMARY:The Afterlives of Trauma: Art and Memory
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture opening the Center’s virtual art exhibition—Experience\, Integration\, Expression: The Work of Norman Klenicki—Dr. Levitt will discuss art as affording an opportunity to consider the lingering effects of trauma and loss\, illness\, and carrying on. She states\, “Art helps us feel. It is affective and touches us impressionistically. It helps open us up to unexpected connections and distinctions\, things we have not already thought or felt.” Audre Lorde said: “Poetry is not only dream and vision: it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change\, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before” (Lorde\, “Poetry is Not a Luxury”). Dr. Levitt will suggest that art enables us to reflect more deeply about what has already been\, and “lays the foundations for a future of change\,” to quote Audre Lorde. Building on her 2020 book\, she will discuss how objects serve as prompts for memory\, how they ground and give new life to stories\, and how these stories enable a kind of doing justice outside of the law. \n\n\n\nTo Register: \n\n\n\nhttps://pitt.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_N8U8ZcEFT_2nsUlkCK-kew

SUMMARY:Jewish-Christian-Feminist Dialogue on the Politics of Memory:
DESCRIPTION:A Transatlantic Conversation (in English) \n\n\n\n\n\nIn their scholarly work the three speakers address the presence of the Shoah in New Testament exegesis (Tania Oldenhage)\, theology (Katharina von Kellenbach)\, and American Jewish identity (Laura Levitt). They write explicitly autobiographical and/or through family history\, a hermeneutic informed by the interreligious and international relationships nurtured at the Religion Department at Temple University in Philadelphia. This conversation will focus on the personal dimensions of the trauma of Jewish-Christian relations in the political context of the United States\, Germany\, and Switzerland. The conversation will be in English \n\n\n\nHere is the Link: https://www.eaberlin.de/seminars/data/2021/rel/juedisch-christlich-feministischer-dialog-zur-erinnerungspolitik/

SUMMARY:Book Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Laura Levitt\, in conversation with Ruth Ost\, will be launching her newest book “The Objects That Remain.” She’ll be discussing the process of creating the work and answering questions.__________________________________This is an online event.You must RSVP to receive the link for the meeting: https://forms.gle/xhbqNdD9Q5zGK32x8__________________________________On a November evening in 1989\, Laura Levitt was raped in her own bed. Her landlord heard the assault taking place and called 911\, but the police arrived too late to apprehend Laura’s attacker. When they left\, investigators took items with them—a pair of sweatpants\, the bedclothes—and a rape exam was performed at the hospital. However\, this evidence was never processed.Decades later\, Laura returns to these objects\, viewing them not as clues that will lead to the identification of her assailant but rather as a means of engaging traumatic legacies writ large.“The Objects That Remain” is equal parts personal memoir and fascinating examination of the ways in which the material remains of violent crimes inform our experience of\, and thinking about\, trauma and loss. Considering artifacts in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and evidence in police storage facilities across the country\, Laura’s story moves between intimate trauma\, the story of an unsolved rape\, and genocide. Throughout\, she asks what it might mean to do justice to these violent pasts outside the juridical system or through historical empiricism\, which are the dominant ways in which we think about evidence from violent crimes and other highly traumatic events.Over the course of her investigation\, the author reveals how these objects that remain and the stories that surround them enable forms of intimacy. In this way\, she models for us a different kind of reckoning\, where justice is an animating process of telling and holding.
