Prof. Giddon Ticotsky teaches in the Hebrew Literature Department and heads the Yiddish program as well as the Center for Literary Studies (CLS). He studied Hebrew and French literature at Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He taught and was a research fellow at Stanford University in California and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Prof. Ticotsky researches Modern Hebrew literature and has written, among other things, about the oeuvres of Lea Goldberg and Dahlia Ravikovitch. His research focuses on Hebrew modernism and its connections to European culture, especially French and German. It examines the formation of the canon of the new Hebrew literature and the historiography of Hebrew literature while combining archival work with digital humanities methods. Ticotsky’s project at Scholion seeks to reconstruct the literary models introduced by immigrant authors to Mandatory Palestine. Initially excluded from the canon of Hebrew literature, these models were later integrated, albeit in transformed forms.
