The Translated Jew brings together an eclectic set of literary and
visual texts to reimagine the transnational potential for
German-Jewish culture in the twenty-first century. Departing from
scholarship that has located the German-Jewish text as an object
that can be defined geographically and historically, The Translated
Jew challenges national literary historiography and redraws the
maps by which transnational Jewish culture and identity must be
read. This book explores the myriad acts of translation, actual and
metaphorical, through which Jewishness leaves its traces, taking as
a given the always provisional nature of Jewish text and Jewish
language. Although the focus is on contemporary German-Jewish
literary cultures, The Translated Jew also turns its attention to a
number of key visual and architectural projects by American,
British, and French artists and writers, including W. G. Sebald,
Anne Blonstein, Helene Cixous, Ulrike Mohr, Daniel Blaufuks, Paul
Celan, Raymond Federman, and Rose Auslander. In thus realigning
German-Jewish culture with European and American Jewish culture and
post-Holocaust aesthetics, this book explores the circulation of
Jewishness between the U.S. and Europe. The insistence on the
polylingualism of any single language and the multidirectionality
of Jewishness are at the very center of The Translated Jew.
