Agreement between seroprevalence- and model-based estimates of Covid-19 burden
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic caused significant global harm. Seroprevalence studies detected antibody increases from SARS-CoV-2 infection, assessing transmission and risk from infection. These studies and epidemiological modeling informed public health policy and behavior. Biases in early seroprevalence analyses caused underestimation of fatality risk, including the risk posed to pediatric populations …
The qameṣ (*/aː/ > [ɔː]) shift in Palestinian Hebrew
The dating of the qameṣ shift (*/aː/ > [ɔː]) in the Tiberian tradition of Biblical Hebrew has long been a scholarly puzzle. In this article I present possible evidence for this shift in the Greek transcriptions of Origen’s Hexapla , datable to the first half of the third century ce in Palestine. While the evidence is limited both in attested tokens and in grammatical scope, it is suggested that lexical diffusion may account for the gradual spread…
"Maḥzor Vitry 's "Palestinian Vocalization
The geographical provenance of the so-called Palestinian vocalization signs has mainly been based on a single medieval reference, a passage in R. Jacob ben Samson's commentary to tractate Avot (twelfth century, northern France). While past scholars disputed over the precise details of this passage, for the most part the accepted Palestinian origin of the vocalization signs remained intact. However, a renewed examination of this passage leads to t…
Weighed in the Water, Children
Swim your ground
This essay engages with the prevailing metaphor in our talk about ecological crisis: humanity’s carbon “footprint.” As a fitting place to begin thinking about humanity's excessive footprint and dominating interface with the planet, I suggest humanity’s first large-scale encounter with the deep sea during the transatlantic age of exploration and colonization. Or the opportunity our species had to learn that an earthling is hardly the sort of creat…
To See the Earth before the End of the Antiblack World
This essay takes up the fundamental tension in black study between black life and black death, and forwards the idea of black ambivalence as a way of theorizing this tension. But given recent conceptions of the scope of black death as total and constitutive of what has generally come to be thought under the rubric of the “antiblack world,” this essay also asks what room is left for the thought of black life, not as a meager or even primarily defi…
Karaite or Rabbanite
Research has so far been unsuccessful in determining the creed of the Hebrew lexicographer Menahem ben Saruq. Though most probably suspected of Karaism already in his day, there is no conclusive and decisive evidence to prove whether he was Karaite or Rabbanite. In this article, I suggest that Menahem’s choice of verses in one of his lexicon entries reflects a textually non-trivial interpretation originating in midrash, thereby suggesting that he…
Callaloo's Legacy of Connection
Callaloo’s Legacy of Connection Jonathan Howard (bio) At the panel “The History of Callaloo: An Interview with Charles Henry Rowell,” Jonathan Howard presented these remarks. It is a real honor, and not a little humbling, to be a part of this conversation about the history of Callaloo. For me, one of the most striking aspects of Dr. Rowell’s remarks was the recurrence of the theme of “connection.” In the first instance, how the journal was create…
Gone with the Ibos
“Gone with the Ibos”The Blueness of Blackness in Paule Marshall’s Praisesong for the Widow Jonathan Howard (bio) Now I have one radio-phonograph; I plan to have five. There is a certain acoustical deadness in my hole, and when I have music I want to feel its vibration, not only with my ear but with my whole body. I’d like to hear five recordings of Louis Armstrong playing and singing “What Did I Do to Be so Black and Blue”—all at the same time . …
Balance of Life
The life of a human being cannot be totally described or defined by the detailed analysis of all the activities that are necessary for life. It is rather the sum of these activities co-ordinated in a delicate and beautiful way to form a unitary phenomenon which we call
