    Notes:

    Main description: Conventional wisdom holds that Judaism is indifferent or even suspiciously hostile to the visual arts due to the Second Commandment's prohibition on creating "graven images," the dictates of monotheism, and historical happenstance. This intellectual history of medieval and modern Jewish attitudes toward art and representation overturns the modern assumption of Jewish iconophobia that denies to Jewish culture a visual dimension. Kalman Bland synthesizes evidence from medieval Jewish philosophy, mysticism, poetry, biblical commentaries, travelogues, and law, concluding that premodern Jewish intellectuals held a positive, liberal understanding of the Second Commandment and did, in fact, articulate a certain Jewish aesthetic. He draws on this insight to consider modern ideas of Jewish art, revealing how they are inextricably linked to diverse notions about modern Jewish identity that are themselves entwined with arguments over Zionism, integration, and anti-Semitism. Through its use of the past to illuminate the present and its analysis of how the present informs our readings of the past, this book establishes a new assessment of Jewish aesthetic theory rooted in historical analysis. Authoritative and original in its identification of authentic Jewish traditions of painting, sculpture, and architecture, this volume will ripple the waters of several disciplines, including Jewish studies, art history, medieval and modern history, and philosophy

    Notes:

    During the first half of the 19th century, light theater typically portrayed Jews as objects of mockery or morally questionable minor characters. This was also true of Kalisch's farces. Yet it is thanks to his farce, "One of our people," which enjoyed success well into the 20th century, that we see a Jewish main character portrayed in an entirely positive manner, thus casting new light on Jewish life in a non-Jewish environment

  21. In Spite of Partition

    Scope: 1 Online-Ressource (208 S.)
    Notes:

    Main description: Partition--the idea of separating Jews and Arabs along ethnic or national lines--is a legacy at least as old as the Zionist-Palestinian conflict. Challenging the widespread "separatist imagination" behind partition, Gil Hochberg demonstrates the ways in which works of contemporary Jewish and Arab literature reject simple notions of separatism and instead display complex configurations of identity that emphasize the presence of alterity within the self--the Jew within the Arab, and the Arab within the Jew. In Spite of Partition examines Hebrew, Arabic, and French works that are largely unknown to English readers to reveal how, far from being independent, the signifiers "Jew" and "Arab" are inseparable. In a series of original close readings, Hochberg analyzes fascinating examples of such inseparability. In the Palestinian writer Anton Shammas's Hebrew novel Arabesques, the Israeli and Palestinian protagonists are a "schizophrenic pair" who "have not yet decided who is the ventriloquist of whom." And in the Moroccan Jewish writer Albert Swissa's Hebrew novel Aqud, the Moroccan-Israeli main character's identity is uneasily located between the "Moroccan Muslim boy he could have been" and the "Jewish Israeli boy he has become." Other examples draw attention to the intricate linguistic proximity of Hebrew and Arabic, the historical link between the traumatic memories of the Jewish Holocaust and the Palestinian Nakbah, and the libidinal ties that bind Jews and Arabs despite, or even because of, their current animosity

    Subjects: Mehrsprachigkeit; Juden; Literatur
    Scope: 1 Online-Ressource (240 S.)
    Notes:

    Main description: Call It English identifies the distinctive voice of Jewish American literature by recovering the multilingual Jewish culture that Jews brought to the United States in their creative encounter with English. In transnational readings of works from the late-nineteenth century to the present by both immigrant and postimmigrant generations, Hana Wirth-Nesher traces the evolution of Yiddish and Hebrew in modern Jewish American prose writing through dialect and accent, cross-cultural translations, and bilingual wordplay. Call It English tells a story of preoccupation with pronunciation, diction, translation, the figurality of Hebrew letters, and the linguistic dimension of home and exile in a culture constituted of sacred, secular, familial, and ancestral languages. Through readings of works by Abraham Cahan, Mary Antin, Henry Roth, Delmore Schwartz, Bernard Malamud, Saul Bellow, Cynthia Ozick, Grace Paley, Philip Roth, Aryeh Lev Stollman, and other writers, it demonstrates how inventive literary strategies are sites of loss and gain, evasion and invention. The first part of the book examines immigrant writing that enacts the drama of acquiring and relinquishing language in an America marked by language debates, local color writing, and nativism. The second part addresses multilingual writing by native-born authors in response to Jewish America's postwar social transformation and to the Holocaust. A profound and eloquently written exploration of bilingual aesthetics and cross-cultural translation, Call It English resounds also with pertinence to other minority and ethnic literatures in the United States

    Main description: Im 19. Jahrhundert war das Genre der Ghettoliteratur im deutschsprachigen, aber auch im mitteleuropäischen Raum eine der zentralen Erscheinungen dezidiert jüdischer Literatur. Literarhistorisch steht das Genre im Zusammenhang mit der sich seit den 1830er Jahren entwickelnden Regionalliteratur, vor allem der Dorfgeschichte. Im Verlauf des 19. Jahrhunderts entstanden daher im deutschen Sprachraum, der neben Deutschland vor allem die Länder der Habsburgermonarchie umfasste, Ghettoerzählungen höchst unterschiedlicher Ausprägung, die insgesamt jedoch immer gewertet werden können als literarische Antwort jüdischer Autoren auf die zentrale Frage nach den Möglichkeiten und Spielarten jüdischer Emanzipation und Identität in dieser Epoche

    Main description: In the 19th century the ghetto literature genre was a central phenomenon in avowedly Jewish literature both in German-speaking areas and in Central Europe in general. In terms of literary history the genre is associated with the rise of regional literature after the 1830s and the village chronicle in particular. This meant that in the course of the 19th century German-speaking areas (alongside Germany itself notably the countries of the Habsburg monarchy) saw the emergence of a wide variety of ghetto narratives. What all these had in common was their function as a literary response by Jewish authors to the cardinal issue of the potential forms available for Jewish emancipation and identity in that period

    Main description: Die Beiträge des Bandes konzentrieren die Auseinandersetzung mit Exilliteratur auf die jüdische Erfahrung von Exil, was dem Thema eine 2.500jährige historische Tiefe und eine entsprechende Vielfalt an literarischen Strategien, mit der Exilerfahrung umzugehen, zuspielt. Zugleich öffnet diese Perspektive Exilliteratur auch für das Spannungsfeld 'Exil und Heimkehr'. Die Aufsätze behandeln deutsche, französische und hebräische Exilliteratur, insbesondere des 20. Jahrhunderts

    Main description: The analysis of exile literature in the articles of this volume focuses on the Jewish experience of exile, thus giving the subject a profound, 2,500-year depth and a corresponding variety of strategies for coming to terms with the experience of exile. At the same time, this perspective broadens the perspective on the phenomenon of exile literature to include the tensions between 'exile and homecoming'. The essays discuss German, Hebrew, and French exile literature, with the emphasis on the 20th century

    Biographical note: MonroeKristen Renwick: Kristen Renwick Monroe is Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at the University of California, Irvine, where she directs the UCI Interdisciplinary Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morality. Her books include the prize-winning "The Heart of Altruism" (Princeton)

    Main description: Through moving interviews with five ordinary people who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, Kristen Monroe casts new light on a question at the heart of ethics: Why do people risk their lives for strangers and what drives such moral choice? Monroe's analysis points not to traditional explanations--such as religion or reason--but to identity. The rescuers' perceptions of themselves in relation to others made their extraordinary acts spontaneous and left the rescuers no choice but to act. To turn away Jews was, for them, literally unimaginable.

    In the words of one German Czech rescuer, "The hand of compassion was faster than the calculus of reason." At the heart of this unusual book are interviews with the rescuers, complex human beings from all parts of the Third Reich and all walks of life: Margot, a wealthy German who saved Jews while in exile in Holland; Otto, a German living in Prague who saved more than 100 Jews and provides surprising information about the plot to kill Hitler; John, a Dutchman on the Gestapo's "Most Wanted List"; Irene, a Polish student who hid eighteen Jews in the home of the German major for whom she was keeping house; and Knud, a Danish wartime policeman who took part in the extraordinary rescue of 85 percent of his country's Jews. We listen as the rescuers themselves tell the stories of their lives and their efforts to save Jews.

    Monroe's analysis of these stories draws on philosophy, ethics, and political psychology to suggest why and how identity constrains our choices, both cognitively and ethically. Her work offers a powerful counterpoint to conventional arguments about rational choice and a valuable addition to the literature on ethics and moral psychology. It is a dramatic illumination of the power of identity to shape our most basic political acts, including our treatment of others. But always Monroe returns us to the rescuers, to their strong voices, reminding us that the Holocaust need not have happened and revealing the minds of the ethically exemplary as they negotiated the moral quicksand that was the Holocaust
