Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines the ways that ethnic pluralism and Jewish exceptionalism coexisted in philosopher Horace M. Kallen’s thought from the time that Jewish identity began to play a significant and positive role in his own self-conception, roughly in 1900, until his coining of “cultural pluralism” in 1924. Kallen conceived of pluralism, in large part, to address concerns about American Jewish identity, but its conception created a vexing problem for Jews. If Jews were the “chosen people,” then how could they fit into a model of the nation that emphasized equality, or at least harmony,

Abstract:
In an era of massive university budget cuts and pervasive malaise regarding the future of the humanities, cinema and media studies continue to be a growth industry. Many academic fields have been paying increasing attention to film, in terms of both curriculum development and research. Jewish studies is no exception. Since 2011, a boom in publications has included a range of new books that deal with Jews on screen, Jewish themes in cinema, and the construction of Jewish identity through film. To assess what these recent titles contribute to Jewish cinema studies, though, requires assessing the

Abstract:
Throughout the modern era, Jews have established a series of new religious movements that in general have represented the influence of changing social and cultural realities on Jewish communal expressions. Since the 1960s, a number of new Jewish movements have utilized neo-Hasidic teachings to re-engage Jews in the spiritual elements of their tradition. Many Jews have also shown interest in new religious movements outside the Jewish fold, often playing a disproportionately large role in such groups. Bringing certain preferences and sensitivities with them, Jews who have joined such groups have

AbstractCultural restitution in international law typically aims to restore cultural property to the state of origin.

This thesis revisits the popular cultural narrative of black-Jewish relations in the United States — an association based on relational suffering — through an examination of contemporary Jewish American humour. It considers how Jewish comedians both identify with and distance themselves from African American culture, history, and experience in order to negotiate their place in the US racial system. At times, Jewish Americans express their ethnic particularity and marginality through cross-racial identification with African Americans as racial Others. At other times, they separate themselves fr

During the 17th and 18th century a number of Jews settled on the English island of Barbados and the Dutch island of St. Eustatius. The Jews on both islands erected synagogues and a number of key structures essential for a practicing religious community. Although they had strong connections that spanned across geo-political boundaries, the synagogue compounds on each island became key places for the creation and maintenance of a Jewish community. I argue that these synagogue compounds represented diasporic places that must be understood through a tri-partite model that explores the relationship

Jewish Israeli Women Soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are marked as the feminine "other" and work to reify the institution's power in Israeli nation-making.

They soften the aggressive actions of the IDF through their demarcation in the feminine category, but they are also capable of furthering Israel's arguments regarding its egalitarian modernity through narratives of female "empowerment."

Double standards might take the form of stricter regulation on ritual slaughter or Jewish schooling than on other, non-Jewish religious practices or education; refusing to allow Jewish workers time off for religious holidays, but allowing workers of other religious backgrounds to do so; banning Jewish p

Abstract:
Beyond being a form of community expression, the traditional Bukharian houses and mahallas – neighborhoods - illustrate a close relationship with the environment as the use of earthen materials and the design of its urban fabric respond to the harsh desert climate.
