Tamar Gutfeld
Graduate Student
Overview
Prior to arriving at Cornell, Tamar studied Philosophy and German Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In her MA thesis, she addressed practices of memory in Jurek Becker’s novel “Jakob the Liar”. In Cornell, she hopes to continue researching memory culture and to explore the notions of rupture, continuity and return through representations of families in 20th-century German literature and film.
