Yael Feldman

January 01, 1970

Yael S. Feldman (Hebrew: יעל פלדמן, née Keren-Or, born 1941) is an American cultural historian and literary critic. She is particularly known for her work in comparative literature and feminist Hebrew literary criticism.[1][2] Feldman is known for her research on Hebrew culture, history of ideas, gender and cultural studies, and psychoanalytic criticism. She is currently the Abraham I. Katsh Professor Emerita of Hebrew Culture and Education in the Judaic Studies Department at New York University and an affiliated professor of Comparative Literature and Gender Studies. She is also a fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research, and a visiting fellow at Wolfson College, Cambridge.[3]

Early life and education edit

Feldman earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Hebrew literature and language and English literature from Tel Aviv University in 1967 and her Master of Arts degree in medieval Hebrew literature from Hebrew College in 1976. She later completed her Ph.D. in 1981 from Columbia University with a dissertation on the Hebrew-American poet Gabriel Preil, which became the subject of her first book, Modernism and Cultural Transfer: Gabriel Preil and the Tradition of Jewish Literary Bilingualism (1986). After earning her Ph.D., she completed postdoctoral study at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.

Career edit

Feldman has lectured and published internationally, and served as editor of both general and academic journals. She is recognized as a leading scholar in Israeli literary feminism, along with Anne Golomb Hoffman and Naomi Sokoloff. Feldman's book No Room of Their Own: Gender and Nation in Israeli Women's Fiction (1999) was the first book-length treatment devoted to Israeli women writers and written from a feminist perspective.[4][5][6] The book was a finalist in the 2000 National Jewish Book Awards.[7] Her fifth book, Glory and Agony: Isaac's Sacrifice and National Narrative, is the first book-length study of the ethos of national sacrifice in modern Hebrew culture, exploring the biblical and classical stories of potential and enacted sacrifice that have nourished myths of altruist heroism over the last century. This study was a finalist in the 2010 National Jewish Book Awards.[8]

Feldman's scholarship has been supported by various grants and fellowships, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, Fulbright-Hays Program, Littauer Foundation, Centers for Advanced Jewish Studies at Oxford and PENN Universities, Lady Davis Fellowship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Yad Vashem International Holocaust Research Center.[citation needed] Feldman has also served as the Culture and Art Editor of Ha-do'ar, an American Hebrew Journal of long standing (1921–2005) for 17 years (1985–2002).[9] She has also served on the editorial boards of the academic journals Prooftexts, Hebrew Studies, Contemporary Women's Writings, and Women in Judaism.[citation needed] In 1992 she founded the Discussion Group for Modern Hebrew Literature at the Modern Language Association of America and served as its first chair.[citation needed]
