{"value"=>"<p>This series, dating from 1951 to 2018 and the largest in the collection, alphabetically compiles Dickstein's expansive intellectual output through drafts of books, essays, articles, critical reviews, social commentary, conference papers, and lectures, as well as research notes and clippings. Additionally, these files highlight Dickstein's administrative duties, both at academic institutions and for conferences, seminars, publications, and awards. There is some overlap between materials held in this series and the CUNY Graduate Center files in series IV, as well as in the printed matter in series VII. Files in series I are listed by title, with reviews of other authors' work (and writings about other authors) listed by author last name. Notes and notebooks, reviews of Dickstein's books, and a set of assorted writings and lectures are ordered after the alphabetical listing.</p> <p>Essays, articles, and critical reviews make up the bulk of the series. These writings, which are frequently annotated and contain accompanying notes, primarily cover literature, film, society, and Judaism.
