Queer Theory and the Jewish Question
Author: Daniel BoyarinPublisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231508956
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
The essays in this volume boldly map the historically resonant intersections between Jewishness and queerness, between homophobia and anti-Semitism, and between queer theory and theorizations of Jewishness. With important essays by such well-known figures in queer and gender studies as Judith Butler, Daniel Boyarin, Marjorie Garber, Michael Moon, and Eve Sedgwick, this book is not so much interested in revealing—outing—"queer Jews" as it is in exploring the complex social arrangements and processes through which modern Jewish and homosexual identities emerged as traces of each other during the last two hundred years.
The Jew in Drama

ISBN:
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Examines the portrayal of the Jew in British drama, as well as Jewish dramatic works and Jewish actors who were prominent on the Jewish and non-Jewish stage. Discusses, with particular emphasis, antisemitic depictions of the Jew from the Middle Ages to the present, including the passion plays, Marlowe's "The Jew of Malta", Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice", the figures of Judas and of the Wandering Jew, Richard Cumberland's "The Jew" as an attempt to counter the antisemitic depictions (produced in 1794), and several works of the 19th century. The 19th century saw the development of sympathetic depictions of Jews as well, and of a thriving Jewish theater (both in English and Yiddish).

Book Description
1. REFLECTIONS ON A THEME by ROBERT ROSS This book, the fourth in the series Comparative Studies in Overseas History, and, like its predecessors, the product of a symposium held by the Leiden Centre for the History of European Expansion, is organised around a single theme, the relationship between the ideological structures of domination and oppression that have come to be called racism and the political and economic ones which grew out of Europe's conquering and ruling much of the rest of the world. By racism, we mean those systems of thought in which group characteristics of human beings, of a non-somatic nature, are considered to be fixed by principles of descent and in which, in general, physical attributes (other than those of sex) are the main sign by which characteristics are attributed. In addition, almost by definition, the systems of thought entailed in this require that there is a hierarchy of the various races, and that those people in the lower ranks of that hierarchy are seriously disadvantaged, at least if the proponents of racist thought are able to impose their will on the society in which they live. ! The exclusion of the discrimination of women from the concept of racism should not be thought as entailing that racist and sexist ideas do not have much in common, since both derive from essentially biological determinism, and indeed 2 racist societies have historically almost invariably been strongly sexist.
