Melancholia can be seen not as grief but as a false triumph, an imagined resolution of and victory over a past that has merely been forgotten and repressed. What is disowned does not disappear but lives on and continues to plague the present. Melancholia, Noam Pines reveals, is not only a private affliction but a historical condition – the predicament of whole cultures, in fact – and Christianity is its emblematic case.Because Christianity claimed to have superseded Judaism, Pines argues that it could never fully escape the past it denied. The Jew therefore became the shadow of that disavowal, haunting a civilization that imagined it had moved beyond its origins. The Spectre of Prehistory creates a constellation out of texts like the Odyssey and The Merchant of Venice, thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Judith Butler, and Sigmund Freud, and history that spans medieval blood libel and contemporary replacement theory rhetoric to reveal a hidden pattern. Through this exploration Pines charts the Jew as the embodiment of what the dominant order has absorbed but cannot contain – the past it claims to have overcome yet continually seeks to expel.The same melancholic configuration is at work in today’s politics as rumours of the deep state and fake news summon a hidden enemy to legitimize the deployment of authoritarianism. The Spectre of Prehistory reveals the buried past as the ghost that drives us ever further toward extremes.

Originally published in 1988, this book describes and analyses the factors that were operative in South Africa during the 1980s, at a time when Apartheid was under intense pressure. It focuses not only on the central arenas of political action, but also on the non-institutional arenas which were increasingly the central forums of political action. Organised around the three linked themes of state action, popular opposition and possible alternatives, the work examines the manner in which such key institutions such as government, business and the military responded to Apartheid in its crisis as well as the role of the ANC, the black trade unions, Inkatha and community movements in the townships. The final section deals with the South African left and the Freedom Charter.

Animality in Modern Jewish Literature

Argues that Jewish writers used depictions of Jews as animals to question prevalent notions of Jewish identity.The Infrahuman explores a little-known aspect in major works of Jewish literature from the period preceding World War II, in which Jewish writers in German, Hebrew, and Yiddish employed figures of animals in pejorative depictions of Jews and Jewish identity. Such depictions are disturbing because they sometimes rival common anti-Semitic stereotypes, and have often been explained away as symptoms of Jewish self-hatred. In this book, Noam Pines shows how animality emerged in Jewish literature not as a biological or conceptual category, but as a theological figure of exclusion from a state of humanity and Christianity alike. By framing the human-animal question in theological terms rather than in racial-biological terms, writers such as Heinrich Heine, S. Y. Abramovitsh, Hayim Nachman Bialik, Uri Zvi Greenberg, Franz Kafka, S. Y. Agnon, and Paul Celan subjected the pejorative designations of Jewish identity to literary elaboration and to philosophical negotiation.
