"In the argument over Israel, the essay concludes, even discussion of the most sensitive issues, even its existence as 'the Jewish state' nothing is taboo. And while this may - frequently does - cause offence, no political entity, no state, no object, nothing is above and beyond the reach of argument in the interests of peace, justice and truth." --Book Jacket.

The Jewish Persona in the European Imagination
Author: Leonid Livak
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804775621
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
This book proposes that the idea of the Jews in European cultures has little to do with actual Jews, but rather is derived from the conception of Jews as Christianity's paradigmatic Other, eternally reenacting their morally ambiguous New Testament role as the Christ-bearing and -killing chosen people of God. Through new readings of canonical Russian literary texts by Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, Babel, and others, the author argues that these European writers—Christian, secular, and Jewish—based their representation of Jews on the Christian exegetical tradition of anti-Judaism. Indeed, Livak disputes the classification of some Jewish writers as belonging to "Jewish literature," arguing that such an approach obscures these writers' debt to European literary traditions and their ambivalence about their Jewishness. This work seeks to move the study of Russian literature, and Russian-Jewish literature in particular, down a new path. It will stir up controversy around Christian-Jewish cultural interaction; the representation of otherness in European arts and folklore; modern Jewish experience; and Russian literature and culture.
