Description
Scholars in the humanities have become increasingly interested in questions of how space is produced and perceivedâand they have found that this consideration of human geography greatly enriches our understanding of cultural history. This âspatial turnâ equally has the potential to revolutionize Jewish Studies, complicating familiar notions of Jews as âpeople of the Book,â displaced persons with only a common religious tradition and history to unite them.
Space and Place in Jewish Studies embraces these exciting critical developments by investigating what âspaceâ has meant within Jewish culture and traditionâand how notions of âJewish space,â diaspora, and home continue to resonate within contemporary discourse, bringing space to the foreground as a practical and analytical category. Barbara Mann takes us on a journey from medieval Levantine trade routes to the Eastern European shtetl to the streets of contemporary New York, introducing readers to the variety of ways in which Jews have historically formed communities and created a sense of place for themselves. Combining cutting-edge theory with rabbinics, anthropology, and literary analysis, Mann offers a fresh take on the Jewish experience.
