Abstract:

Abstract Jerome Rothenberg’s poetry brings together a group of major—seemingly disparate—topics: the Holocaust; ecological crisis; Yiddish culture; and what he terms ethnopoetics, a poetic primitivism centered largely on the culture of Indigenous Americans. This article shows how genocide, both of Native Americans and of European Jews, becomes in Rothenberg’s poetry the catalyst for a new purpose for primitivism—resisting ecological and cultural devastation. Rothenberg’s reactivation of Jewish primitivism follows two paths: first, an insistence on understanding the destruction of Jewish cultur

AbstractThis article examines the role of the German language in early Jewish nationalism. It focuses on the publication, reception, and afterlife of the pamphletAutoemancipation!, published in 1882 by Leon Pinsker, a Russian Jewish doctor. The first Jewish nationalist pamphlet to be written in German by a Russian Jew, its rhetoric and terminology tapped into various Jewish and European discourses of emancipation. Pinsker not only challenged the legal-political conception of emancipation as it had been commonly used in German-Jewish discourse, but also mobilized its social and revolutionary co

Abstract:

Introduction. Spiritual culture occupies an important place in the life of the Jews in Belarus. Its important component is art, including theatrical. In Belarus since the 16th century there are many different Jewish theatrical associations, but they have not been sufficiently studied to date. There are no special works on this problem in the ethnological literature. At the same time, the analysis of the process of their creation, repertoire and activity, determination of forms and structure is of great scientific interest and is of great practical importance.

This article explores the associational life of late imperial Kiev to gauge the extent of Jewish participation in the city's civil society and the nature of interethnic relations in the voluntary sphere.

These opportunities included a range of experiences from full Jewish integration to a segregation of Jewish interests within

AbstractAbraham Joshua Heschel (1907–1972) was born in Warsaw, Poland, in a devout Hasidic community and earned a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Berlin during Hitler's rise to power. He immigrated to the United States in 1940 and became a Judaic scholar, writer, teacher, theologian, and social activist. Heschel influenced the drafting of Nostra Aetate during the Second Vatican Council, and Christians and Jews saw Heschel as an embodiment of a Hebrew prophet. Yet Heschel himself was irremediably wounded by the Holocaust. He remained vulnerable, hypersensitive to other people's p

AbstractA dramatic paradigm shift has occurred in European and German hate-speech laws, from their nineteenth-century origins in repressive campaigns against the Left to their present association with pluralism, tolerance, and minority rights. This article rethinks the timing and causes of that shift, arguing that, contrary to the prevailing scholarship, the decade of the 1890s—not 1945—constituted the first key turning point toward a human-rights model of hate-speech law. Departing from a more traditional legal historiography focused on formal legal institutions and laws, the article examines

Abstract:

With the establishment of a Jewish settlement in Palestine in the early 20th century, and a Hebrew culture with it, furious debates arose among Jewish writers about the future of Jewish literary multilingualism. Until this period, the idea that Jewish monolingualism was a preferred mode of cultural existence or that a writer would have to choose between the two primary languages of European Jewish cultural production was a relatively new one. Polylingualism had been characteristic of Jewish culture and literary production for millennia. But in modernity, Jewish nationalist movements, particula

ArgumentIn the 1920s the Soviet Union invested a group of talented, mostly socialist, occasionally Communist, Jewish writers and thinkers to use the power of the state to remake Jewish culture and identity. The Communist state had inherited a multiethnic empire from its tsarist predecessors and supported the creation of secular cultures for each ethnicity. These cultures would be based not on religion, but on language and culture. Soviet Jews had many languages from which to choose to be their official Soviet language, but Yiddish, the vernacular of eastern European Jewry, won the battle and s

Abstract In twelfth-century northern Europe, public declarative violence was often employed to establish and demonstrate authority, lordship and power.

The first section focuses on depictions of public violence during the persecution of the First Crusade, and on changes in Jewish liturgical practices supported by violent narratives. It shows that during the twelfth century, these descriptions became blunter and more evocative, and were established as a major feat

The absence of artefacts in many Jewish museums today is due to the widescale destruction, plundering and displacement of people and their possessions during the 1941–45 Holocaust.

The main methods used by European Jewish museums to offset this deficiency (through narrative display, and by seeking object donations from these refugee families) raise critical museological questions regarding the representation and ‘repatriation’ of these exil

Метою статті є виявлення спільності в загально-художньому й композиційному методах музичних інтерпретацій 21-го та 129-го  (тобто, близьких за змістом) псалмів, котрі належать двом композиторам значно віддалених, – як у часі, так і за світоглядом, –  генерацій німецької (і, водночас, єврейської) культури, а саме Феліксу Мендельсону-Бартольді й Арнольду Шенберґу. Розглянуто 21-й та 129-й псалми Ф. Мендельсона й А. Шенберґа. Виявлено спільність у загально-художньому й композиційному методах втілення цих близьких за змістом псалмів: біблійні першоджерела, склад хору, ст

Abstract:

The fact that Jewish life re-emerged in Frankfurt am Main after 1945 and that a new Jewish community could be permanently established there was largely because Holocaust survivors, many of them from Poland, were stranded in the American occupation zone of Germany, of which Frankfurt was the centre. Here, one of the largest camps for Jewish displaced persons was established, where an impressive diversity of Jewish life and culture emerged for a few years. Even after emigration to America and Israel became possible in 1948, some displaced persons remained in Germany. This chapter traces how diff

Abstract:

The European Enlightenment witnessed a Jewish reclamation of Jesus. It led modernist Yiddish intellectuals to experiment with Christian motifs as they tried to contend with what it meant to be Jewish in the modern world. This article proposes to examine, with special focus on poetry, how the crucified Jesus not only became a space of hybridity for Yiddish literary artists to formulate modern Jewish identity and culture but also the medium through which to articulate Jewish suffering in a language that resonated with the oppressors. By doing so, the article seeks to understand the relevance tha

Abstract:

The remnant of the eastern European Jews that arrived in Israel after the Holocaust established a vibrant center of Yiddish culture in Tel Aviv. This paper tells its story. It spotlights the uniqueness of the Tel Aviv center in comparison with similar cultural centers established by eastern European Jews in other cities around the world, both before and after the Holocaust. It portrays the Jewish cultural activists and leaders that composed the Tel Aviv Yiddish center, the special conditions that awaited them in Israel, the institutions that they established, and their aftermath.

Abstract: This article offers new reflections on the articulation of Pied-Noir and Algerian Jewish memory through the figure of the “Pied-Noir Jew” in French culture. The analysis of cinematographic materials and their literary sources shows how Algerian Jewish screen and stage artists participated in the creation in France of a nostalgic cultural community of Algerian Jews and French-European ex-settlers while also navigating the tensions and differences between Pied-Noir and Jewish memory of Algeria. The aporetic figure of the “Pied-Noir Jew” as a cultural and affective concept encapsulates

Abstract:

One of the claims that was voiced in the debate over Edward Said’s book Orientalism was that the author ignored German Orientalist research. This essay does not discuss this claim itself, but rather uses this debate as a starting point for investigating different aspects of Israeli consciousness. Indeed, German Orientalism was not directly connected to colonialist activity, but it encompassed the discourse regarding the relation between Germany and Judaism and “the Jewish Question.” The question was whether Jews were Oriental and therefore foreign to European culture, or rather a religious gro

Despite this unstable situation, they produced literary and religious works in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic and Judeo-Spanish as well as creating distinctive life-cycle customs, songs and a highly skilled material culture.

Yehuda Leyb Nevakhovich (1776-1831) seems to be almost forgotten in current research on Jewish literature and culture in Eastern Europe. Nevertheless, among his contemporaries, he enjoyed a remarkable success in the realm of cultural production, and to some extent in the realm of imperial Russian society. Entangled between Hebrew, Russian, and European literatures, the scope of Nevakovich’s writing encompasses occasional poetry, emancipation treatises, and historical dramas. His understanding of literature was wide, interlacing the fields of literature, history and historiography. In his histo

Abstract:

The writing of “Yizkor books” (Yizker bikher, רעכיב רוכזי)—memorial books for European Jewish communities that were destroyed in the Holocaust—has developed and expanded as the remnants of these lost communities scattered around the globe in the post-war era. The motives for writing comparable books among non-European Jewish communities—which experienced different circumstances of dispersal but were still influenced by Holocaust memory—and the way these books nourished the intentional creation of immigrant communities, are understudied.
