Imagining and living gender: Rabbis and Jewish women in fin de siecle Vienna, 1867--1914

Lieber, Julie University of Pennsylvania 2008 해외박사(DDOD)

This dissertation examines the lives of Jewish women living a traditional Jewish life within a culture that was exploring very non-traditional ideas about gender and sexuality. Fin de siecle Vienna was a place of remarkable transformation, in which new political movements and unprecedented cultural and intellectual explorations destabilized age-old norms and categories and questioned many long-standing assumptions about gender, women's roles, and sexuality. Unlike the image of fin de siecle Jewish Vienna most often invoked by scholars that centers on assimilated Jewish men who made significant contributions to avant-garde Viennese culture, this work presents an alternative picture of Jewish life in turn of the century Vienna: one of persisting traditional values and a deep attachment to the time-honored notions of female domesticity and separate spheres. Despite their overall traditionalism, this work argues that the rabbis and Jewish women of this era were not immune to changes in the surrounding Viennese society. Turn of the century Vienna was not only the home of Freud's theory of psychosexual development but was also the seat of vitriolic anti-Semitism and a burgeoning Austrian women's movement, both of which caused Viennese rabbis to reconsider elements of their traditional construction of gender. Jewish women as well, through their involvement in women's benevolence, utilized these traditional ideas to blur the imagined boundary between public and private, expand their sphere of influence, and position themselves in the heart of Jewish communal politics. This work investigates the lives of fin de siecle Viennese Jewish women from two different angles. On the one hand, using rabbinic responsa, sermons, and educational curricula, it details the construction of gender among the rabbinic leadership and the institutions of the Jewish community as a means of uncovering the gender norms and sexual ideology of the Jewish community in which these women lived. On the other hand, it explores the actual lives of Jewish women, through examining their own writings and activities, which reveal the nature of their experiences and self-conceptions as Jews and as fin de siecle Viennese women.

Detection of skin abnormalities using confocal Raman microspectroscopy

Lieber, Chad Allen Vanderbilt University 2004 해외박사(DDOD)

Skin cancers are the most numerous of all human cancers. Yet despite their easy accessibility to diagnostic methods, clinicians rely on biopsy and histopathologic validation for positive diagnosis. Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique that has been shown to provide diagnostic ability rivaling or exceeding that of histopathologic examination. This work evaluated the utility of depth-resolved confocal Raman spectroscopy for skin cancer diagnosis. Processing techniques were developed to automatically eliminate inherent fluorescence background noise. A bench-top confocal Raman microscope (CRM) was developed using an external-cavity diode laser to allow system portability. This system was used to classify malignant skin lesions in vitro with high accuracy. Based on this success, a handheld CRM was developed for clinical measurements of suspected nonmelanoma skin cancers. Raman spectra obtained with this system were able to completely differentiate skin lesions. The findings of this work reveals confocal Raman spectroscopy to be a viable tool for clinical diagnosis of skin lesions.

"Let me sing for my beloved": Transformations of the Song of Songs in synogogal poetry

Lieber, Laura Suzanne The University of Chicago 2003 해외박사(DDOD)

“Piyyutim” (synagogal poems), composed for liturgical use, creatively intersect with traditions of interpretation familiar from other aggadic sources. However, as poetry composed for public recitation, these texts reflect unique aesthetic and practical impulses. This dissertation examines eight piyyutim composed for the holiday of Passover. These poems are structured on the Song of Songs. The earliest text is anonymous and dates to approximately the 5th century (land of Israel); poems by Yannai (5th century, land of Israel), Qillir (6th–7th century, land of Israel), Solomon ha-Bavli (9th century, Rome), Meshullam bar Qalonymos (10th century, Mainz), Simeon bar Isaac (10th century, Mainz), and Benjamin bar Solomon (11th century, Normandy) are also included. These poems reveal patterns of tradition, continuity, and innovation in language, exegesis, and thematic content. The poems studied here offer insight into a form of living Hebrew well into the Byzantine period, but also show how matters of poetic form generated linguistic creativity. Vocabulary is often biblical, while meanings depend on rabbinic exegesis. Loan words are relatively rare. The data suggests that it was possible for an audience to possess the ‘linguistic competence’ necessary to decode the language of these texts. The present work also examines how the piyyutim relate to other modes of exegesis. The results reveal that while poets often alluded to motifs preserved in other forms, they also felt free to innovate. Furthermore, the importance of sound-play and punning as interpretive devices is particularly prominent in the piyyutim. There was also a strong element of aesthetic pleasure and playfulness to these texts which were designed to entertain as well as educate. With regard to content, this dissertation highlights both thematic continuity among the poems as well as innovations. The dominant nuances of eros, nomos, and what is termed ‘esoterica’, as well as pathos and polemic, stood out with particular prominence in these texts. These tones reflect the reality of piyyutim, which were prayers and homilies as well as exegesis and art.

Grasping the technological peace: Offense-defense theory and international security

Lieber, Keir Alexander The University of Chicago 2000 해외박사(DDOD)

This study explores the relationship between technological change and international politics through an investigation of “offense-defense theory.” The theory contends that international conflict is more likely when technology gives offensive military operations an advantage over defensive operations, whereas peace is more likely when defense gains an advantage. Under offense-dominance, the prospect of quick and decisive warfare exacerbates the security dilemma among states, intensifies arms races, and makes wars of expansion, prevention, and preemption more likely. Under defense-dominance, states are more likely to feel secure and act benignly. I argue that offense-defense theory is deductively and empirically flawed. I ask two basic questions: First, is there an offense-defense balance of technology that can be used to explain military outcomes? Second, do perceptions or misperceptions, of shifts in the balance affect political decisions to initiate conflict? I conclude that scholars have overstated both the degree to which the balance of technology shapes battlefield outcomes and the influence beliefs of offense or defense dominance have on strategic behavior. Chapters 1 and 2 summarize offense-defense theory's key role in academic and policy debates; discuss the basic definitions and assumptions required to operationalize offense-defense variables for empirical evaluation; and identify and evaluate the most frequently employed predictions provided by proponents of the theory. Chapters 3–6 employ the historical case study method to assess how offense-defense predictions fare against the record of four watershed technological innovations since 1850. Chapter 3 explores the emergence of railroads in the nineteenth century. Chapter 4 investigates the small arms and artillery revolution in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Chapter 5 analyzes armored warfare in the first half of the twentieth century. Chapter 6 considers the nuclear revolution of the second half of the twentieth century. Chapter 7 summarizes my principal findings. It is sometimes possible to discern shifts in the offense-defense balance in cases of revolutionary technological change, but these shifts are complicated, are not usually profound, and often contradict offense-defense predictions. More importantly, in none of the cases examined did perceived offense or defense dominance play a significant role in decisions to initiate conflict.

On the Distinctiveness of the Russian Novel: "The Brothers Karamazov" and the English Tradition

Lieber, Emma K Columbia University 2011 해외박사(DDOD)

This dissertation takes as its starting point Leo Tolstoy's famous contention that the works of the Russian literary canon represent "deviation[s] from European forms." It is envisioned as a response to (or an elaboration upon) critical works that address the unique rise, formation, and poetics of the Russian novel, many of which are themselves responses (or Russian corollaries) to Ian Watt's study of the rise of the novel in England; and it functions similarly under the assumption that the singularity of the Russian novel is a product of various idiosyncrasies in the Russian cultural milieu. The project is structured as a comparative examination of two pairs of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novels from Russia and England, and as such it approaches the question of the Russian novel's distinctiveness in the form of a literary experiment. By engaging in close readings of Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders (1722) alongside Mikhail Chulkov's The Comely Cook (Prigozhaia povarikha, 1770), and Charles Dickens's Bleak House (1853) alongside Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov (1880), concentrating particularly on matters of formal design, corporeal integrity and vulnerability, and communal harmony and discord---and by understanding the English texts as a "control group" for an examination of the Russian deviation---it attempts to identify some of the distinctive features of the Russian realist novel. The largest portion of the dissertation is dedicated to The Brothers Karamazov, which I take as an emblematic work in a literary canon that is distinguished by intimations that healing and recovery---as well as the coexistence of both personal freedom and communal rapport---are possible in the real world and in realist narrative.
