Irmela von der Lühe, BUDDENBROOKS AM SCHWARZEN MEER. VLADIMIR JABOTINSKYS ODESSA-ROMAN DIE FÜNF. "PORÓWNANIA" 1 (24), 2019. T. XXIV, S. 123-133. ISSN 1733-165X. Vladimir Jabotinskys Roman Die Fünf ist bei seinem Erscheinen in Deutschland (2012) als eine literarische Entdeckung gefeiert worden. In der Familiengeschichte der Milgroms aus dem Odessa der Jahre vor der Revolution von 1905 spiegeln sich Hoffnungen und Enttäuschungen der Revolution und der jüdischen Assimiliation, des Aufbruchs in eine neue Welt der Moderne und des Absturzes in eine Welt der brutalen Antimoderne. Der Beitrag untersucht die besonderen literarischen Strategien einer Arbeit an der Erinnerung: des Erzählens von Straßen, Plätzen und Räumen, der Analogisierung des politischen Geschehens mit einem Bühnengeschehen, der symbolistischen Überhöhung der Realität durch Rückgriff auf literarische Texte. Nichtnur aus politischen, auch aus erzählerischen Gründen wird Odessa in Jabotinkskys Roman also zu einem umstrittenen Erinnerungsort. ; Irmela von der Lühe, BUDDENBROOKS AT THE BLACK SEA. VLADIMIR JABOTINSKYS ODESSA-NOVEL THE FIVE. "PORÓWNANIA" 1 (24), 2019. Vol. XXIV, P. 123-133. ISSN 1733-165X. When Jabotinksys novel first appeared in Germany (2012) it was celebrated as a spectacular literary event. Jobtinsky's Jewish family novel is situated in the decades before the revolution of 1905; it deals with revolutionary hope and disappointment, with Jewish assimiliation and the idea of a new liberal and tolerant world. It ends with a complete decline of these visions into brutal antimodernism. This article describes special narrative strategies in producing spaces of memory as streets, places and special public locations. Thereby political events appear as analogies to theater plays and also in a symbolistic framework. By this Jabotinskys novel has become a controversial space of memory not only for political but also literary reasons.

Describes the vibrant Black Sea port city of Odessa and the thriving Jewish population that included Alexander Pushkin, Isaac Babel, and Zionist activist Vladimir Jabotinsky, and examines the mass murders of the Romanian occupation during World War II

Alla fine dell'Ottocento e sino alla nascita dell'Unione Sovietica, la città di Odessa fu crocevia di scambi, luogo d'incontro tra nazionalità, religioni e culture diverse. In tale realtà, significativo fu il ruolo degli ebrei, a loro volta investiti da una modernizzazione che ne mutava profondamente stili di vita e caratteri. Il destino di una di queste famiglie, i Ginzburg, porterà però in Italia il tratto originale di questo ebraismo cosmopolita. A Torino in particolare spiccherà il ruolo culturale e politico di Leone Ginzburg, profondamente coinvolto nella sua nuova identità italiana e figura eminente dell'antifascismo sino alla sua tragica fine per mano nazista.

The article examines infant mortality – the mortality of children aged from 0 to 364 days in the Greek community of Odessa during the period from 1860 to 1920. It aims at the demographic analysis of infant mortality in the Greek population of Odessa that, in general, involves the discussion of statistical figures demonstrating the development of the phenomenon in question including trends, frequency, seasonality and social structure of infant mortality. The work is based on data derived from the records of birth registers of the Greek Church of the Holy Trinity in Odessa. It addresses a number of demographic characteristics such as the seasonality of infant deaths, times of their peaks, the causes of deaths, and the social belonging of the deceased. In particular, the highest mortality rate in the 60-year period is observed during the winter and summer months. This shows the regional urban specificity, where the peaks of the deaths clearly reflect the living conditions in Odessa. The infant mortality rate in Odessa appears not very high when compared to that in other cities of Europe and Russia. This indicates a quite favorable situation in the urban environment of the time. The prevalence of mortality among boys, both in the perinatal and postnatal ages, is indicative, and the percentage of the latter age group continued to increase at the expense of boys. The high percentage of the church funeral services for the Greek children of formally foreign subjects emphasizes the complex composition of the Greek population of Odessa and, at the same time, the economic activity of the townspeople.
