The volume assembles the papers delivered at an interdisciplinary
symposium held at the University of Klagenfurt in December 2000.
The studies focus on a variety of different topics, all of which
shed light on different versions of Jewish identity (or identities)
in the 19th and 20th centuries. They also mirror the polyphonic
nature of the discourses on Jewish life and thought. Another aspect
highlighted by the collection is the interaction between Jewish
intellectuals as cultural mediators and the evolution and reception
of modernism in central Europe. The main focus is on the early 20th
century, with some attention also given to the post-Shoah epoch.
Geographically, the studies concentrate on major centres and
regions of central Europe, notably Vienna, Bohemia/Moravia,
Hungary, Bukovina, Galicia, the southern Slavonic countries, and
Trieste.
