Since the late eighteenth century artistic representation has had a growing impact on how Poles and Jews have perceived each other. Literary works, the visual arts, and, from the twentieth century onwards, film, have complemented earlier perceptions shaped by religious prejudice and everyday culture. Introduced by a section evaluating these earlier mutual perceptions, this volume provides interpretations of literary works from the eighteenth to the twentieth century in Polish and Yiddish by Jan Potocki, Julian Ursynowicz Niemcewicz, Klemens Junosza-Szaniawski, Bruno Schulz, Piotr Szewc, and others. A section on cinematographic representation before and after the Second World War illustrates the importance of this new genre of cultural production, and an extensive reflection on the fine arts examines the impact of artistic contexts (such as Kazimierz Dolny) as well as individual creators (Józef Herman, Zdzisław Bęksiński) and representations in popular culture. Literature, film, and the fine arts thus emerge as a prism through which it is possible to trace both negative stereotyping and nuanced representation.Interested in subscribing to Polin?
