Der vorliegende Band resultiert aus einem Symposium, das die University of California, Los Angeles, zusammen mit dem Ludwig Boltzmann Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Biographie im Oktober 2010 in Los Angeles veranstaltet hat. Die für den Druck erweiterten Beiträge unternehmen den Versuch einer Annäherung an die vielfältigen Aspekte des Judentums und Facetten jüdischer Figuren im Werk von Franz Werfel und nehmen hierfür die für das Thema wichtigsten Prosatexte und Dramen des aus einer deutsch-böhmischen Familie stammenden Autors in den Blick. Inhaltlich spannt sich der Bogen von der Problematik der jüdischen Assimilation bis zu Werfels Versuch einer Bestimmung des Verhältnisses zwischen Judentum und Christentum. Eingeleitet wird der Band mit einer biographischen Reflexion des Judentums im Leben Franz Werfels, ein Beitrag zu Werfel-Verfilmungen beschließt ihn und erweitert den Blick auf ein halbes Jahrhundert produktiver Rezeption des im kalifornischen Exil verstorbenen Autors.

Is there such a thing as a distinctive Jewish literature? While definitions have been offered, none has been universally accepted. Modern Jewish literature lacks the basic markers of national literatures: it has neither a common geography nor a shared language-though works in Hebrew or Yiddish are almost certainly included-and the field is so diverse that it cannot be contained within the bounds of one literary category. Each of the fifteen essays collected in Modern Jewish Literatures takes on the above question by describing a movement across boundaries-between languages, cultures, genres, or spaces. Works in Hebrew and Yiddish are amply represented, but works in English, French, German, Italian, Ladino, and Russian are also considered. Topics range from the poetry of the Israeli nationalist Natan Alterman to the Russian poet Osip Mandelstam; from turn-of-the-century Ottoman Jewish journalism to wire-recorded Holocaust testimonies; from the intellectual salons of late eighteenth-century Berlin to the shelves of a Jewish bookstore in twentieth-century Los Angeles. The literary world described in Modern Jewish Literatures is demarcated chronologically by the Enlightenment, the Haskalah, and the French Revolution, on one end, and the fiftieth anniversary of the State of Israel on the other. The particular terms of the encounter between a Jewish past and present for modern Jews has varied greatly, by continent, country, or village, by language, and by social standing, among other things. What unites the subjects of these studies is not a common ethnic, religious, or cultural history but rather a shared endeavor to use literary production and writing in general as the laboratory in which to explore and represent Jewish experience in the modern world.

In the hopes of promoting justice, peace, and solidarity for and with the Palestinian people, Udi Aloni joins with Slavoj Zizek, Alain Badiou, and Judith Butler to confront the core issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their bold question: Will a new generation of Israelis and Palestinians dare to walk together toward a joint Israel-Palestine? Through a collage of meditation, interview, diary, and essay, Aloni and his interlocutors present a personal, intellectual, and altogether provocative account rich with the insights of philosophy and critical theory. They ultimately foresee the emergence of a binational Israeli-Palestinian state, incorporating the work of Walter Benjamin, Edward Said, and Jewish theology to recast the conflict in secular theological terms.

"In April, 2008, an international colloquium was held at the University of Heidelberg--the fourth convocation of a group of scholars (with some rotating members) who gathered to discuss the status of Judah and the Judeans in the exilic and postexilic periods. The goal of this gathering was specifically to address the question of national identity in the period when many now believe this very issue was in significant foment and development, the era of the Persian/Achaemenid domination of the ancient Near East"--ECIP summary.
