As trends in Jewish Studies have turned attention to
transnationalism, globalization, and hybrid cultures, the moment
for a major new collection of essays redefining the conceptual
frameworks of Jewish Language Studies is now. Languages of Modern
Jewish Cultures collects work from the most prominent scholars in
the field, bringing world literary and linguistic perspectives to
generate distinctively new historical, cultural, theoretical, and
scientific approaches to this topic of ongoing interest. The
chapters of this edited volume consider, from multiple angles, the
cultural politics of the myths, fantasies, and anxieties of
linguistic multiplicity in the history, cultures, folkways, and
politics of global Jewry. Jewish lingualisms may offer models for
more precise conceptualizations of what we mean by
multiculturalism, as residues of social interaction grounded in the
lived experiences of Jews of divergent times and locations.
Methodological range is as important to this project as linguistic
range. Thus, in addition to approaches that highlight influence,
borrowings, or acculturation, the volume represents those that
highlight syncretism, the material conditions of Jewish life, and
comparatist perspectives.
