The articles in this collection originated from an international
symposium at the University of Haifa and centre around a major
topic in German, European and American literature, i.e. the way in
which Jewish self-definition, both positive and negative, has
materialized as a product of the tensions between secular culture
and society on the one hand, and Jewish tradition and religion on
the other. The broad range of authors (most of them of
German-speaking origin) necessarily results in an almost equally
broad range of answers to this central question. The volume is
dedicated to the memory of the Israeli literary scholar Chaim
Shoham.
The articles in this volume originated from an international and
interdisciplinary symposium organized in October 1994 by the
BibliothA]que Nationale Luxembourg in collaboration with the Leo
Baeck Institute (London), the Division of German-Jewish Literary
History at the RWTH Technical University in Aachen and the
Department of Hebrew and Comparative Literature of Haifa
University. Common to all of them is the question of the various
available modes of individual and collective Jewish self-awareness
and self-definition existing in Central Europe in the period
between 1870 and the Third Reich/Second World War.
