Description

This book analyzes the ways in which literary works and cultural discourses employ the construct of the Jew’s body in relation to the material world in order either to establish and reinforce, or to subvert and challenge, dominant cultural norms and stereotypes. It examines the use of physical characteristics, embodied practices, tacit knowledge and senses to define the body taxonomically as normative, different, abject or mimetically desired. Starting from the works of Gogol and Dostoevsky through to contemporary Russian-Jewish women’s writing, broadening the scope to examining the role of objects, museum displays and the politics of heritage food, the book argues that materiality can embody fictional constructions that should be approached on a culture-specific basis. Review “This book undoubtedly expands and deepens our knowledge of both the conceptual and the strictly artistic-aesthetic depiction of the Jewish body in Russian literature (especially from the point of view of 'the existence of an object in an alien cultural space'). This is visible in the author’s skillful and subtle interpretations, which are rooted, on the one hand, in a thorough grasp of the material being studied, and, on the other hand, in a pervasive scholarly scrupulousness and a degree of innovative boldness.” ―Vladimir Khazan, Department of Russian, German and Eastern European Studies, Hebrew University of Jerusalem About the Author Henrietta Mondry is Professor in the Department of Global, Cultural and Language Studies at the University of Canterbury. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand and has published widely on cultural history and literature. Her books include Populist Writers and the Jews and Exemplary Bodies: Constructing the Jew in Russian Culture.
