Y a Tíscar que se agarra a la vida, empujándonos a todos a una revolución sin vuelta atrás. iii iv Agradecimientos La cantidad de obstáculos que han surgido a lo largo de la tesis habrían hecho imposible su finalización si no hubiera sido por la abundante ayuda con la que pude contar. Quiero agradecer especialmente... A José Antonio Zamora, por su total confianza en plena zozobra, por su ayuda a darle relieve y profundidad al trabajo y por una disponibilidad y un acompañamiento que han sido claves para poder llevarlo a término. Y con él también a Rosario y a José que han aceptado amablemente cedernos varios de sus días de descanso para los intercambios. A mis padres Juan y Pilar, sin cuyo apoyo en estos dos últimos años este cierre habría sido imposible. A Ferran Requejo, por la acogida al primer proyecto sobre Hannah Arendt e Isaiah Berlin y por el apoyo y la confianza que no ha dejado de ofrecer a pesar de las ausencias, los silencios y finalmente los cambios de rumbo. A Paco Fernández Buey por su dirección tristemente truncada y que, aún tejida entre las angustias, me aportó el entusiasmo para no abandonar el proyecto. A María Sabiote, por sus lecturas atentas y las críticas pertinentes y por una escucha y unas aportaciones sin las que la reflexión en muchos casos habría quedado incompleta o directamente inexistente. También a quienes contribuyeron en uno u otro momento del trayecto de la tesis: a Uri Gordon, que me abrió una innumerable cantidad de pistas de investigación; a Yolanda v Onghena, cuya intuición de lo intercultural sigo explorando; a Montserrat Ribas por las ayudas puntuales pero siempre atentas a lo largo del trayecto; a Marianne Enckell por sus amables envíos desde el CIRA; a Sonia Arribas, Rafael Cejudo, Ángel Calle, Jean- Marc Izrine, Javier Roiz, Pierre Sommermeyer, Frank Mintz, Jesse Cohn, Martha Ackelsberg, Ruth Kinna, Benjamin Franks... y también a Isabelle Delcroix que aportó buena parte del combustible para embarcarme en la tesis. También a los lectores, críticos y correctores de todo o parte del trabajo: Javier Arias, Juan Ariza, Enrique Díaz Álvarez, Alberto Matarán, Juan Mellado, Luis Villodres, Luis Alfonso Herrera, Alejandro Ruíz-Huerta, y muy especialmente a Marina Fuentes- Guerra y Daniel Moral en su entusiasta lectura, corrección de estilo y pesca de erratas. A todos aquéllos que pasaron por el Foro de Jóvenes Investigadores en Dinámicas Interculturales de la Fundación CIDOB, que me aportaron la base silenciosa sobre la que toda la investigación está construida. Al Departamento de Derecho Mercantil de la UCO y muy concretamente al profesor Juan Ignacio Font Galán por su acogida y confianza incondicional en la fase cordobesa. La tesis habría sido otra sin la participación y el aprendizaje ya imborrable en la Cooperativa La Gleva y en el Ateneu Rosa de Foc; y muy especialmente en el intenso proceso de género durante el curso 2008-09, que sigue constituyendo un horizonte determinante de la reflexión. Pero también quiero agradecer por lo que me aportaron a los horteres en la colorida aventura de l'Hort Comunitari de Gràcia (Xavis, Lauras, Edu, Gilad, Bea, Lise y Andrés), a l'Ateneu Popular Sant Roc (por su compromiso sin reservas), al 15M-Córdoba (y concretamente a los bulevarianos por su alegre perseverancia), a la Casa de (des)Aprendizaje (aún por reinventar), al Grupo de Trabajo de la Auditoría de la Deuda de Córdoba (a pesar de los atranques), al Grupo de Apoyo de los Represaliadxs de la Velá (por su incansable constancia) y a la Casa Azul (por alegrarnos la calle y la ciudad). También a Alodia Boix, Nicole Harpigny y Katalina López Sako, por el acompañamiento y por su ayuda para desentrañar nudos y bloqueos. Finalmente a todos aquéllos que con su presencia y acompañamiento han hecho el trayecto más fácil y más hermoso y a quienes han estado apuntalando en lo cotidiano: vi Ali, Luna, Araceli, Aurora e Isabel, Bárbara, Émilie, Cris, Blanca, Bego, Carmen y Andrés, Curra, Chepe y Elena, David y familia, Elenazul, Juan, Filo y Pablo, Javi S., Josep, Juanma y Ana, Julia, Julio, África y sus panes, Isabelle, Isabel, Johan, John- Arthur, Kikón, Kitins, Mael y Amaya, Lourdes (tan lejos y tan cerca), Luisa, Malole, Sra.

Lo haremos analizando la participación judía en el interior del movimiento y el pensamiento anarquista, los posicionamientos anarquistas ante el avance del antisemitismo y del sionismo y finalmente los intentos de hacer encajar en el pensamiento libertario la categoría nacional. La investigación se divide en dos partes. En los capítulos 2, 3 y 4 analizaremos respectivamente el a priori internacionalista libertario, el proceso de politización de la población judía europea y, finalmente, los debates teóricos y los recursos pragmáticos resultantes de este encuentro, incidiendo en las dificultades para extraer de ellos una vía teórico-política propia. En la segunda parte (capítulos 5 y 6) centraremos nuestra atención en el acercamiento entre el pensamiento libertario y el sionismo. El capítulo 5 aborda la obra de Gustav Landauer y de Martin Buber, responsables de una relectura nacional-comunitaria del pensamiento libertario. Y el capítulo 6 nos permitirá analizar las derivas de esta concepción a través del comunalismo de los kibbutzim en Palestina. x Abstract This dissertation focuses on the confrontation of Anarchism and the politicization of the Jewish identity. It analyzes the Jewish participation in the anarchist movement and thought, the anarchist positions on the spread of Antisemitism and Zionism and, finally, the attempt to fit the national concept into anarchist thought. The dissertation is divided in two parts. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 consider the internationalist background of the anarchist thought, the process of politicization of the European Jewry and the theoretical debates and pragmatical strategies used in dealing with that process. We will highlight here the difficulties for Anarchism in drawing from these experiences its own theoretical and political approach. In the second part we will draw our attention to the attempts at reconciliation between Anarchism and Zionism. Chapter 5 tackles Gustav Landauer and Martin Buber's work. They are responsible in reading the anarchist thought from a national and communitarian point of view. Chapter 6 allows us to analyze the drift of this conception in the experience of kibbutzim in Palestine. xi Prefacio El anarquismo yiddish y la participación de militantes de origen judío en el movimiento anarquista ha sido objeto de investigación fundamentalmente desde el punto de vista histórico, aunque a menudo ha quedado invisibilizado detrás del radicalismo político en general, sin un análisis específico. A pesar de ello, sí hay trabajos que se han adentrado en su estudio, directa o indirectamente, o bien como parte del movimiento obrero general o del movimiento obrero judío en particular o bien al hilo del estudio del movimiento anarquista (Avrich, 2004; Boulouque, 2003, 2008 y 2009; Brossat y Klingberg, 2009; Cohn, 2005; Fishman, 2004; Furia Apátrida 2007 y 2011; Izrine, 1998a y 1998b; Lévy, 2004; Maitron, 1951; Minczeles, 2010; Smith, 1999, Zimmer, 2010). Y también ha sido abordado de manera más o menos indirecta a través de las biografías (o autobiografías) de algunos de sus protagonistas (Boulouque, 2001; Goldman, 1996; Horrox, 2011; Rocker, 2005; Souchy, 1999; Oriol, 2003, etc.). Es destacable en todo caso el creciente interés en la cuestión, como se puede comprobar en las fechas de las publicaciones citadas. Merece la pena señalar en ese sentido el esfuerzo por volver a poner en el debate académico a algunos de sus autores, mediante traducciones, publicaciones de textos inéditos y reediciones de algunos de sus textos principales (cfr. Landauer, 2010, 2009a, 2009b y 2005; Mühsam, 2011), así como el congreso internacional que tuvo lugar en Venecia en el año 2000 bajo el título “L'anarquico i l'ebrei.

  • Everyday Life of Jews in Mariampole, Lithuania (1894–1911)1
    Chapter 1 Everyday Life of Jews in Mariampole, Lithuania 1 (1894–1911) INTRODUCTION The urge to discover one‘s roots is universal. This desire inspired me to reconstruct stories about my ancestors in Mariampole, Lithuania, for my grandchildren and generations to come. These stories tell the daily lives and culture of Jewish families who lived in northeastern Europe within Russian-dominated Lithuania at the turn of the twentieth century. The town name has been spelled in various ways. In YIVO, the formal Yiddish transliteration, the town name would be ―Maryampol.‖ In Lithuanian, the name is Marijampolė (with a dot over the ―e‖). In Polish, the name is written as Marjampol, and in Yiddish with Hebrew characters, the name is written from and pronounced ―Mariampol.‖ In English spelling, the town name ‖מאַריאַמפּאָל― right to left as is ―Marijampol.‖ From 1956 until the end of Soviet control in 1989, the town was called ―Kapsukas,‖ after one of the founders of the Lithuanian Communist party. The former name, Mariampole, was restored shortly before Lithuania regained independence.2 For consistency, I refer to the town in the English-friendly Yiddish, ―Mariampole.‖3 My paternal grandparents, Dvore Shilobolsky/Jacobson4 and Moyshe Zundel Trivasch, moved there around 1886 shortly after their marriage. They had previously lived in Przerośl, a town about 35 miles southwest of Mariampole. Both Przerośl and Mariampole were part of the Pale of Settlement, a place where the Russian empire forced its Jews to live 1791–1917. It is likely that Mariampole promised to offer Jews a better life than the crowded conditions of the section of the Pale where my grandparents had lived.

Wisse Kelly Scott Johnson Sholem Schwarzbard: Biography of a Jewish Assassin Abstract The thesis represents the first complete academic biography of a Jewish clockmaker, warrior poet and Anarchist named Sholem Schwarzbard. Schwarzbard's experience was both typical and unique for a Jewish man of his era. It included four immigrations, two revolutions, numerous pogroms, a world war and, far less commonly, an assassination. The latter gained him fleeting international fame in 1926, when he killed the Ukrainian nationalist leader Symon Petliura in Paris in retribution for pogroms perpetrated during the Russian Civil War (1917-20). After a contentious trial, a French jury was sufficiently convinced both of Schwarzbard's sincerity as an avenger, and of Petliura's responsibility for the actions of his armies, to acquit him on all counts. Mostly forgotten by the rest of the world, the assassin has remained a divisive figure in Jewish-Ukrainian relations, leading to distorted and reductive descriptions his life.

    MONDAY Praxis Poems: JUL 01 Radical Genealogies of Yiddish Poetry ANNA ELENA TORRES | Delivered in English This talk will survey the radical traditions of Yiddish poetry, focusing on anarchist poetics and the press. Beginning with the Labor poets, also known as the Svetshop or Proletarian poets, the lecture discusses the formative role of the anarchist press in the development of immigrant social worlds. Between 1890 and World War I, Yiddish anarchists published more than twenty newspapers in the U.S.; these papers generally grew out of mutual aid societies that aspired to cultivate new forms of social life. Fraye Arbeter Shtime (Free Voice of Labor)—which was founded in 1890 and ran until 1977, making it the longest-running anarchist newspaper in any language—launched the careers of many prominent poets, including Dovid Edelshtat, Mani Leyb, Anna Margolin, Fradl Shtok, and Yankev Glatshteyn. Yiddish editors fought major anti-censorship Supreme Court cases during this period, playing a key role in the transnational struggle for a free press. The talk concludes by tracing how the earlier Proletarian poets deeply informed the work of later, experimental Modernist writers. Anna Elena Torres is an Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago. Her forthcoming book is titled Any Minute Now The World Streams Over Its Border!: Anarchism and Yiddish Literature (Yale University Press). This project examines the literary production, language politics, and religious thought of Jewish anarchist movements from 1870 to the present in Moscow, Tel Aviv, London, Buenos Aires, New York City, and elsewhere. Torres’ work has appeared in Jewish Quarterly Review, In geveb, Nashim, make/shift, and the anthology Feminisms in Motion: A Decade of Intersectional Feminist Media (AK Press, 2018).

  • Israel-Exkursion 2012
    Universität Potsdam Israel-Exkursion 2012 Jüdische Studien LER Religionswissenschaft 22. Juli bis 02. August 2012 Editorial Liebe Israelreisende, liebe Interessierte, unsere Exkursion liegt nun schon ein paar Wochen zurück, aber die zahlreichen Eindrücke und Erlebnisse wirken nach. Wir haben in jenen elf Tagen keine großen geographischen Entfernungen zurückgelegt, obwohl wir das Land von Norden nach Süden bereist haben. Wir haben vielmehr eine Reise durch die Vergangenheit – von der Eisenzeit (Tel Dan) über die Zweite Tempelzeit (Qumran), Byzantium (Hamat Tiberias) und die Omajjaden-Epoche (Felsendom) – bis in die Moderne (Staatsgründung) unternommen. Dazu haben wir uns immer wieder von der Gegenwart dieses Fleckchens Erde faszinieren, aber auch erschüttern lassen (Givat Haviva, Yad Vashem). Es steckt viel Wahres in dem Spruch „Wer sich gern erinnert, lebt zweimal“ (F. Magnani). Dieses Heft ist dazu gedacht, dass Sie, liebe Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer, die Reise „wiedererleben können“, und Sie, liebe Leserin, lieber Leser, an dem teilhaben können, was wir im Sommer 2012 erleben durften. Indem wir die Erinnerungen lebendig halten wollen, hoffen wir, eine informationsreiche Broschüre über ein atemberaubendes, komplexes und widersprüchliches Land zur Verfügung zu stellen. Sie finden hier die einzelnen Tagesberichte und in den blauen „Info-Kästen“ die (gekürzten) Inhalte der in Israel gehaltenen Referate. Wir möchten uns sehr herzlich bei all unseren israelischen und palä- stinensischen Gesprächspartnern bedanken, die bereit waren ihr Wissen, ihre Erfahrungen und ihre Gefühle mit uns zu teilen. Wir danken Hannah Tüllmann (Bayerisches Pilgerbüro), die uns bei der Reiseorganisation un- terstützt hat. Ein besonderer Dank gebührt Heinz Schulze, dessen Mühen es zu verdanken ist, dass dieses Heft in grafisch so ansprechender Form vorliegt.
