Czernowitzers…
It was our fellow member Iosif Vaisman, who drew our attention to Svitlana =
Frunchak’s dissertation „The Making of Soviet Chernivtsi“ in May 2015=
, which - by courtesy of Svitlana - is now available at our Czernowitz Book=
Corner:
http://czernowitzbook.blogspot.de/2016/01/the-making-of-soviet-chernivtsi.h=
tml
Iosif was right stating that „our list is featured fairly prominently in =
the dissertation“ by quoting Svitlana, who writes at the end of „Chapte=
r 9: History, Commemoration, and Forgetting in Postwar Chernivtsi“ [p. 46=
9] as follows: „Today this image of the non-existent Czernowitz ‚lives=
‘ in a virtual space on the World Wide Web. [A rich source of information=
about pre-Soviet Chernivtsi and memory about it can be found on
http://cze=
rnowitz.ehpes.com/ which has become a venue of communication between those =
who identify themselves with Jewish Czernowitz (rather than contemporary Ch=
ernivtsi) and, as such, a site of a virtual existence of the image of the p=
rewar city.] Visitors to the real Chernivtsi find it to be populated not on=
ly by other people but also by very different books. Until recently, the vo=
cabulary of multiculturalism in Ukrainian Chernivtsi remained in most insta=
nces a political tool and a cultural cliche as the intellectual and public =
discourses and their visual representations are dominated by the Ukrainian =
nationalist narrative about the city’s past.“
Thank you, dear Svitlana, thank you, dear Iosif, that’s a good start for =
2016. Happy New Year to all of you!
