Jewish Imaginaries of the Spanish Civil War inaugurates a new field
of research in literary and Jewish studies at the intersection of
Jewish history and the internationalist cultural phenomenon
emerging from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the Republican
exile, and the Shoah. With the Spanish Civil War as a point of
departure, this volume proposes a definition of Jewish textualities
based on the entanglement of multiple poetic modes. Through the
examination of a variety of narrative fiction and non-fiction,
memoir, poetry, epistles, journalism, and music in Yiddish,
Spanish, French, German, and English, these essays unveil
non-canonic authors across the West and explore these works in the
context of antisemitism, orientalism, and philo-Sephardism, among
other cultural phenomena. Jewish writings from the war have much to
tell about the encounter between old traditions and new
experimentations, framed by urgency, migration, and messianic hope.
They offer perspectives on memorial and post-memorial literatures
triggered by transhistorical imagination, and many were written
against the grain of canonic literature, where subtle forms of
dissidence, manifested through language, structure, sound, and
thought, sought to tune with the anti-fascist fight. This book
revindicates the polyglossia of Jewish cultures and literatures in
the context of genocide and epistemicide and proposes to remember
the cultural phenomena produced by the Spanish Civil War, demanding
a new understanding of the cosmopolitan imaginaries in Jewish
literature.
