This book-series, initiated in 1992, has an interdisciplinary orientation; it is published in English and German and comprises research monographs, collections of essays and editions of source texts dealing with German-Jewish literary and cultural history, in particular from the period covering the 18th to 20th centuries.

The book describes the transformation of discourse in cultural studies, a discourse which after its inception around the turn of the century was also designed to salvage German-Jewish interculturality. This transformation manifests itself in a discourse on political theology (involving Carl Schmitt and Gershom Scholem) through which the disastrous dissociation of the two cultures took its final and irrevocable course.

Der deutsch-judische historische Roman des 19. Jahrhunderts war in der judischen Literatur ein neues Phanomen, hervorgegangen aus der Notwendigkeit, das deutsch-judische Publikum mit Lesestoff zu versorgen. Da der historische Roman beim deutschen Publikum sehr beliebt war und im Kulturkampf wirksam eingesetzt werden konnte, ubernahmen ihn fuhrende judische Personlichkeiten als Vehikel zur Verbreitung von Ideen. So diente er dazu, neue Vorstellungen von Juden und Judentum zu entwickeln sowie die judische Geschichte neuzuschreiben, jeweils nach den ideologischen Bedurfnissen der beiden...

This study investigates the function of the recourse to the messianic tradition of Judaism among German-Jewish intellectuals in the first third of the 20th century. Messianic figures of thought play an important role in the Jewish discourse of identity. Moreover, they are used productively in the creation of general theories in the realm of cultural studies, especially regarding the philosophy of language and history and the theological-political complex. Here, all the considered authors (Benjamin, Bloch, Broch, Buber, Landauer, Rosenzweig, Scholem) secularize Jewish Messianism in one way...
