After 1945, Jewish writing in German was almost unimaginable-and
then only in reference to the Shoah. Only in the 1980s, after a
period of mourning, silence, and processing of the trauma, did a
new Jewish literature evolve in Germany and Austria. This volume
focuses on the re-emergence of a lively Jewish cultural scene in
the German-speaking countries and the various cultural forms of
expression that have developed around it. Topics include current
debates such as the emergence of a post-Waldheim Jewish discourse
in Austria and Jewish responses to German unification and the Gulf
wars. Other significant themes addressed are the memorialization of
the Holocaust in Berlin and Vienna, the uses of Kafka in
contemporary German literature, and the German and American-Jewish
dialogue as representative of both the history of exile and the
globalization of postmodern civilization. The volume is enhanced by
contributions from some of the most significant representatives of
German-Jewish writing today such as Esther Dischereit, Barbara
Honigmann, Jeanette Lander, and Doron Rabinovici. The result is a
lively dialogue between European and North American scholars and
writers that captures the complexity and dynamism of Jewish culture
in Germany and Austria at the turn of the twenty-first century.
