The learning environment at the Centre for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations will be particularly fruitful this academic year with three Visiting Fellows: in the autumn Daniel Cowdin has been researching Christian ethics and the Talmud, and in the Spring we will benefit from the wisdom of two eminent American professors, Jay Geller and Amy-Jill Levine from Vanderbilt Divinity School. As well as welcoming the new 2010–11 Masters students from Europe and North America, we look forward to the first students undertaking a new teaching programme (via e-learning) entitled Jews, Christians and Muslims in Europe: modern challenges. The Centre for the Study of Muslim-Jewish Relations is also making good progress. Josef Meri, who has been appointed CMJR Academic Director, has initiated some important research projects including an academic journal in Muslim-Jewish Relations and a Reader. CMJR is also pleased to be working closely with the Centre for Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge. The Public Education Programmes is responding to increasing demands for its high-quality lectures, seminars and short courses. Unfortunately, we are only able to fulfill a small number of the requests due to limited resources but during the year we plan to build up a bank of Woolf Institute-trained tutors in order to respond to the increased demand. Thank you, as ever, for your ongoing support and encouragement, which are vital to our success. Although there is so much more to be achieved in improving understanding among Jews, Christians and Muslims, you are helping the Woolf Institute make a significant contribution to this urgent cause.

  • The Idea of Europe in World Literature from the Eastern and Western Peripheries
    The Idea of Europe in World Literature from the Eastern and Western Peripheries Submitted by Barbara Alexandra Marshall to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in March 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 2 Abstract While a vast range of works have been written on European identity from historical, cultural, political, sociological, and economic points of view, I am attempting to turn the discourse around and investigate the complex notion of European identity that forms the basis of personal, collective and societal identities represented in literature and a European space imagined and depicted differently by various writers. My thesis explores the diverse interpretations of Europe by creating and investigating a literary dialogue between some works in Hungarian and British contemporary literature and so, in a generalized sense, in some aspects between the Eastern and Western peripheries of Europe. The literary interpretation of Europe and European identity is a neglected research area, just as is the literary dialogue between the Western and the Eastern parts of the European Union. Due to this lack of exemplary methodological routes, the thesis’s comparative nature and the fact that it deals with the cultural positions and literary capitals of two very unequal countries, the methodological background is provided by world literary approaches.

  • “The Double Bind” of 1989: Reinterpreting Space, Place, and Identity in Postcommunist Women’S Literature
    “THE DOUBLE BIND” OF 1989: REINTERPRETING SPACE, PLACE, AND IDENTITY IN POSTCOMMUNIST WOMEN’S LITERATURE BY JESSICA LYNN WIENHOLD-BROKISH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctorial Committee: Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky, Chair; Director of Research Professor Nancy Blake Professor Harriet Murav Associate Professor Anke Pinkert Abstract This dissertation is a comparative, cross-cultural exploration of identity construction after 1989 as it pertains to narrative setting and the creation of literary place in postcommunist women’s literature. Through spatial analysis the negotiation between the unresolvable bind of a stable national and personal identity and of a flexible transnational identity are discussed. Russian, German, and Croatian writers, specifically Olga Mukhina, Nina Sadur, Monika Maron, Barbara Honigmann, Angela Krauß, Vedrana Rudan, Dubravka Ugrešić, and Slavenka Drakulić, provide the material for an examination of the proliferation of female writers and the potential for recuperative literary techniques after 1989. The project is organized thematically with chapters dedicated to apartments, cities, and foreign lands, focusing on strategies of identity reconstruction after the fall of socialism. ii To My Family, especially Mom, Dad, Jeffrey, and Finnegan iii Table of Contents Chapter One: Introduction: “We are, from this perspective,

  • Wladimir Kaminer and Jewish Identity in 'Multikulti' Germany Joseph Cronin
    Volume 9 & 10, WINTER 2018/19 TITLE BORDERS & REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST Wladimir Kaminer and Jewish identity in ‘Multikulti’ Germany Joseph Cronin Queen Mary University of London Abstract ladimir Kaminer has become something of a poster-boy for the ‘Kontingentflüchtlinge W [Quota Refugees]’, the term applied to Jews from the former Soviet Union who immigrated to Germany between 1990 and 2006, as a result of a decision made first by the GDR and then adopted by the reunified Federal Republic. Kaminer writes little about his Jewishness in his work, but, in his first book, Russendisko (2000), he discusses the Jewish identity of Russian-speaking Jews living in Germany, viewed through the lens of Multikulti [multicultural] Berlin. Kaminer depicts them as just another of Germany’s ethnic minority groups and, as such, nothing special. Given both Germany’s past and the reasons offered by the German government for allowing these Jews to emigrate in the first place, Kaminer’s opinion is undoubtedly controversial. This article investigates how and why Kaminer adopts this position. It examines the pre-migration experiences of Jews from the former Soviet Union, which include: antisemitism, attitudes towards religion and discourse about the Holocaust in the Soviet Union, as well as the experiences (more unique to Kaminer) of Berlin in the 1990s, the heyday of multicultural optimism. Although Kaminer is an unusual case study who deliberately subverts the reader’s expectations of his identity politics, this article aims to show that his writings on Russian-speaking Jews, while highly subjective, have a wider application than might first appear.

  • El Premio Adalbert Von Chamisso Y La Literatura “De La Emigración” En Lengua Alemana* Ana R
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositori d'Objectes Digitals per a l'Ensenyament la Recerca i la Cultura El premio Adalbert von Chamisso y la literatura “de la emigración” en lengua alemana* Ana R. Calero Universitat de València En el mundo que tengo que describir no se puede prescindir de los instintos. Es el mundo de los inmigrantes, de los marginados. Lejos del centro reina una lógica muy diferente. Mi tarea consiste en traducir esta lógica. Por ello me llaman también el “traductor”. El traductor no conoce la verdad o la mentira. Es el mentiroso de los demás (…) Sin el traductor el mundo se desharía por muchas partes. A través de él muchas costuras se hacen invisibles. Solo aquellos que están demasiado cerca de las costuras sienten el dolor, el picor y la quemazón junto a ellas (Zafer Şenocak, Una herencia peligrosa). Resumen Uno de los premios más relevantes en el marco de la literatura intercultural en lengua alemana es el Adalbert von Chamisso-Preis, instaurado en 1985 por Harald Weinrich. El objetivo de esta contribución es, por un lado, rastrear los orígenes del premio y, por otro, presentar y analizar las controversias en torno a él. El premio puede significar para muchos autores y autoras una rampa de lanzamiento hacia el reconocimiento y los grandes mercados editoriales, pero también puede conducir al aislamiento y a la segregación puesto que se reúnen en un mismo grupo a escritores y escritoras que poco o nada tienen que ver literariamente, y a los que se recuerda constantemente que son extranjeros en Alemania.
