Stefan Zweig, Världen av igår:

»En gång, vid ett av mina sista besök, tog jag med mig Salvador Dalí, den enligt min mening mest begåvade målaren i den yngre generationen och en stor beundrare av Freud, och medan jag talade med den sjuke gjorde han en skiss. Jag vågade aldrig visa den för Freud, för den klarsynte Dalí hade tecknat döden i hans drag.«

En sommardag 1938 samlas en illuster skara i Sigmund Freuds tillfälliga bostad i London: författaren Stefan Zweig och surrealisten Salvador Dalí med sin hustru Gala och mecenaten Edward James. Alla bär de på sina egna historier och livslögner, och mötet utvecklas till ett kammarspel där den åldrade och svårt sjuke psykoanalytikern, utmattad efter flykten från Wien, blir katalysatorn som får samtalet att bölja mellan minnen, storpolitik, konst och personliga konflikter i skuggan av Europas annalkande katastrof. Och inom Zweig växer redan fröet till Världen av i går.

Clémence Boulouque, född 1977 i Paris, historiker och författare, verksam vid Columbia University i New York. Innan dagen viker för natt rör sig i gränslandet mellan intim biografi och historisk krönika. Själva mötet ägde rum på riktigt, men ingen vet vad som sades. Romanen bygger på noggranna efterforskningar som förvandlats till en litterär fantasi över ett historiskt laddat ögonblick.

On the Edge of the Abyss

The Jewish Unconscious before Freud

A history of the unconscious in public discourse before Freud and its significance for Jewish emancipation. When Sigmund Freud published his theory of the unconscious, in 1899, he popularized an idea that had fascinated generations of Jewish philosophers before him. In this book, Clémence Boulouque charts the development of the pre-Freudian unconscious from subcultural inquiry to dominant discourse during the long nineteenth century. Although Freud’s scientific notion differed from Schelling’s mythical description of the abyss from which creation springs, its resonance with older ideas was celebrated as an opportunity to express specifically Jewish contributions to modernity. Indeed, Boulouque shows that the pre-Freudian unconscious emerged from conversations in Jewish mysticism about otherness and coexistence. In the hopeful years before World War I, Boulouque argues, such reflections offered the possibility of emancipation not only to Jews but to all.

Another Modernity

Another Modernity is a rich study of the life and thought of Elia Benamozegh, a nineteenth-century rabbi and philosopher whose work profoundly influenced Christian-Jewish dialogue in twentieth-century Europe. Benamozegh, a Livornese rabbi of Moroccan descent, was a prolific writer and transnational thinker who corresponded widely with religious and intellectual figures in France, the Maghreb, and the Middle East. This idiosyncratic figure, who argued for the universalism of Judaism and for interreligious engagement, came to influence a spectrum of religious thinkers so varied that it includes proponents of the ecumenical Second Vatican Council, American evangelists, and right-wing Zionists in Israel. What Benamozegh proposed was unprecedented: that the Jewish tradition presented a solution to the religious crisis of modernity. According to Benamozegh, the defining features of Judaism were universalism, a capacity to foster interreligious engagement, and the political power and mythical allure of its theosophical tradition, Kabbalah—all of which made the Jewish tradition uniquely equipped to assuage the post-Enlightenment tensions between religion and reason. In this book, Clémence Boulouque presents a wide-ranging and nuanced investigation of Benamozegh's published and unpublished work and his continuing legacy, considering his impact on Christian-Jewish dialogue as well as on far-right Christians and right-wing religious Zionists.
