In the past decades the "German-Jewish phenomenon" (Derrida) has
increasingly attracted the attention of scholars from various
fields: Jewish studies, intellectual history, philosophy, literary
and cultural studies, critical theory. In all its complex
dimensions, the post-enlightenment German-Jewish experience is
overwhelmingly regarded as the most quintessential and charged
meeting of Jews with the project of modernity. Perhaps for this
reason, from the eighteenth century through to our own time it has
been the object of intense reflection, of clashing interpretations
and appropriations. In both micro and macro case-studies, this
volume engages the multiple perspectives as advocated by manifold
interested actors, and analyzes their uses, biases and ideological
functions over time in different cultural, disciplinary and
national contexts. This volume includes both historical treatments
of differing German-Jewish understandings of their experience -
their relations to their Judaism, general culture and to other Jews
- and contemporary reflections and competing interpretations as to
how to understand the overall experience of German Jewry.
