German-Jewish Thought and Its Afterlife
A Tenuous Legacy
AvVivian Liska
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016
1 017 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In German-Jewish Thought and Its Afterlife, Vivian Liska innovatively focuses on the changing form, fate and function of messianism, law, exile, election, remembrance, and the transmission of tradition itself in three different temporal and intellectual frameworks: German-Jewish modernism, postmodernism, and the current period. Highlighting these elements of the Jewish tradition in the works of Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, Gershom Scholem, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Celan, Liska reflects on dialogues and conversations between them and on the reception of their work. She shows how this Jewish dimension of their writings is transformed, but remains significant in the theories of Maurice Blanchot and Jacques Derrida and how it is appropriated, dismissed or denied by some of the most acclaimed thinkers at the turn of the twenty-first century such as Giorgio Agamben, Slavoj Žižek, and Alain Badiou.

Contemporary Jewish Writing in Europe

With contributions from a dozen American and European scholars, this volume presents an overview of Jewish writing in post–World War II Europe. Striking a balance between close readings of individual texts and general surveys of larger movements and underlying themes, the essays portray Jewish authors across Europe as writers and intellectuals of multiple affiliations and hybrid identities. Aimed at a general readership and guided by the idea of constructing bridges across national cultures, this book maps for English-speaking readers the productivity and diversity of Jewish writers and writing that has marked a revitalization of Jewish culture in France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, and Russia.
When Kafka Says We
Uncommon Communities in German-Jewish Literature

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Taking as its starting point Franz Kafka's complex relationship to Jews and to communities in general, When Kafka Says We explores the ambivalent responses of major German-Jewish writers to self-enclosed social, religious, ethnic, and ideological groups. Vivian Liska shows that, for Kafka and others, this ambivalence inspired innovative modes of writing which, while unmasking the oppressive cohesion of communal groupings, also configured original and uncommon communities. Interlinked close readings of works by German-Jewish writers such as Kafka, Else Lasker-Schüler, Nelly Sachs, Paul Celan, Ilse Aichinger, and Robert Schindel illuminate the ways in which literature can subvert, extend, or reconfigure established visions of communities. Liska's rich and astute analysis uncovers provocative attitudes and insights on a subject of continuing controversy.

German-Jewish Experience Revisited
AvSteven E. Aschheim,Vivian Liska
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In the past decades the “German-Jewish phenomenon” (Derrida) has increasingly attracted the attention of scholars from various fields: Jewish studies, intellectual history, philosophy, literary and cultural studies, critical theory. In all its complex dimensions, the post-enlightenment German-Jewish experience is overwhelmingly regarded as the most quintessential and charged meeting of Jews with the project of modernity. Perhaps for this reason, from the eighteenth century through to our own time it has been the object of intense reflection, of clashing interpretations and appropriations. In both micro and macro case-studies, this volume engages the multiple perspectives as advocated by manifold interested actors, and analyzes their uses, biases and ideological functions over time in different cultural, disciplinary and national contexts. This volume includes both historical treatments of differing German-Jewish understandings of their experience – their relations to their Judaism, general culture and to other Jews – and contemporary reflections and competing interpretations as to how to understand the overall experience of German Jewry.
Kafka and the Universal
AvArthur Cools,Vivian Liska
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Kafka’s work has been attributed a universal significance and is often regarded as the ultimate witness of the human condition in the twentieth century. Yet his work is also considered paradigmatic for the expression of the singular that cannot be subsumed under any generalization. This paradox engenders questions not only concerning the meaning of the universal as it manifests itself in (and is transformed by) Kafka’s writings but also about the expression of the singular in literary fiction as it challenges the opposition between the universal and the singular. The contributions in this volume approach these questions from a variety of perspectives. They are structured according to the following issues: ambiguity as a tool of deconstructing the pre-established philosophical meanings of the universal; the concept of the law as a major symbol for the universal meaning of Kafka’s writings; the presence of animals in Kafka’s texts; the modernist mode of writing as challenge of philosophical concepts of the universal; and the meaning and relevance of the universal in contemporary Kafka reception. This volume examines central aspects of the interplay between philosophy and literature.

The starting point for this compilation is the wish to rethink the concept of antisemitism, race and gender in light of Sartre’s pioneering Réflexions sur la Question Juive seventy years after its publication. The book gathers texts by prestigious scholars from different disciplines in the Humanities and the Social Sciences, with the objective or revisiting this work locating it within the setting of two other pioneering – and we argue, related – publications, namely Simone De Beauvoir’s Le deuxième sexe of 1949 and Franz Fanon’s Peau noire et masques blancs of 1952. This particular and original standpoint sheds new light on the different meanings and political functions of the concept of antisemitism in a political and historical context marked by the post-modern concepts of multi-ethnicity and multiculturalism.

In 2004 the one-hundredth anniversary of Theodor Herzl's death was commemorated throughout the world. The myth of Herzl, as it has developed over the last century, has perhaps become more important than the historical figure. This volume contains revised and expanded essays, which were originally delivered as lectures at international Herzl centennial conferences in Antwerp, London, and Jerusalem. Topics treated include the Herzl myth, Herzl's nationalism and Zionism, his self-understanding and image, his authorship of comedies and philosophical tales, Herzl and Africa, as well as his reception in Israeli and other literature. Zweig films are also considered within this same context.

Ein Sammelband zu Celans einzigem Israel-Besuch 1969 mit Beiträgen zu der Frage, wie diese »Wende« und »Zäsur« für sein Leben und Werk zu verstehen sind.Im Oktober 1969 besuchte Paul Celan Israel zum ersten und einzigen Mal und nannte diesen Besuch danach »eine Wende, eine Zäsur« in seinem Leben. Wie ist diese Zäsur zu verstehen, und was ist ihre Bedeutung für Celans Spätwerk? NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen und etablierte ForscherInnen im Bereich der internationalen Celan-Forschung gehen diesen Fragen nach und eröffnen neue Zugänge zu Celans Israel-Besuch sowie zu den Gedichten, die Celan nach der Rückkehr in Paris schrieb und die sich explizit auf diese Reise beziehen. Über den Israel-Besuch hinaus ist die zweite Hälfte des Buches dem noch wenig erforschten Spätwerk Celans gewidmet. Auseinandersetzungen mit philosophischen Themen, die für Celans Spätwerk von Bedeutung sind, begleiten textnahe Interpretationen von einzelnen Gedichten und Übersetzungen aus den letzten Jahren von Celans Schaffen. Mit einer Vielfalt an internationalen Stimmen und Perspektiven tritt das Buch dem Mythos der Unzugänglichkeit von Celans Spätwerk entschlossen entgegen und lädt die Leser dazu ein, sich ihm in der ganzen Fülle seiner Anregungen und Facetten neu zu nähern.Mit Beiträgen von Bertrand Badiou, Yarden Ben-Zur, Agata Bielik-Robson, Thomas C. Connolly, Sidra DeKoven Ezrahi, Christine Ivanovic, Michael Levine, Adam Lipszyc, Camilla Miglio, Pawel Piszczatowski, Asif Rahamim, Alexandra Richter, Thomas Schestag, Galili Shahar, Bernd Witte, Shira Wolosky, Sandro Zanetti sowie mit Kunstwerken von Shy Abady.

Wie verhalten sich Sprache und Erfahrung zu einander?Sind die Fragen nach den "Grenzen der Sprache" und den "Grenzen der Sprachlosigkeit" einander entgegengesetzt, gehen sie aufeinander zu? Was geschieht an dem Ort, an dem diese Fragen aufeinandertreffen – wenn sie es tun? Hat der Unterschied der Fragestellung einen historischen Index, also zu je anderen Zeitpunkten unterschiedliche Bewertungen von Schweigen und Kommunikation? Wie sich in den Aufsätzen, die in diesem Band versammelt sind, zeigt, können zwischen den Grenzen der Sprache und den Grenzen der Sprachlosigkeit ganze Denkwelten entstehen.Mit Beiträgen von: Aleida Assmann, Rainer Forst, Carl Friedrich Gethmann, Albrecht von Kalnein, Thomas Kempf, Joseph Leo Koerner, Vivian Liska, Florian Meinel, Igor Narskij, Erik Schilling, Arbogast Schmitt, Melani Schröter
