Thomas Manns Bild von den Juden folgt dem Auf und Ab der Geschichte und enthullt diese zugleich, 1897 freilich anders als 1918 oder gar 1933. Ubernommene Klischees verblassen und scheinen in Krisenzeiten erneut auf. Als Sohn seiner Zeit neigt Thomas Mann (1875-1955) dazu, mit wissenschaftlich anmutender Akribie biologische Merkmale und Unterschiede aufzuzeichnen. Nicht zuletzt auch aus asthetischem Interesse umreit er rassische Wesenszuge einer bunt schillernden Andersartigkeit, ohne jedoch Rassenideologie zu betreiben. So entsteht eine Typologie, die sich wie eine Folge von Variationen...

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 closer definition of the term German-Jewish applied to literature and culture is an integral part of its historical development. Primarily, the decisive factor is that from the middle of the 18th century German gradually became the language of choice for Jews,...

Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es, sich ausgehend von Schnitzlers Bemerkungen in seinen nicht-fiktionalen Werken an sein Selbstverstandnis als Jude heranzutasten. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Tagebucher und Briefe von Arthur Schnitzer (1862--1931), aber auch seine bis zum Jahr 1889 reichende Autobiographie, Interviews sowie vereinzelte Aphorismen und andere Notizen werden miteinbezogen. Die aus diesen Texten ausgewahlten Passagen aus einem Zeitraum von mehr als 50 Jahren (1880--1931) prasentieren sich als Kaleidoskop, das sich aus unzahligen, manchmal scheinbar banalen Bemerkungen...

Bislang sieht man- auch in der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung- die Situation der judischen Bevolkerung Bohmens fast ausschlielich durch den Spiegel der Prager Literatur um die Jahrhundertwende. Doch ihr beruhmtester Exponent, Franz Kafka, gehorte bereits der dritten Generation deutschschreibender Juden an. Mit vorliegender Studie wird den fruhen judischen Schriftstellern dieser Region, darunter, als den bekanntesten, Leopold Kompert (1822-1886) und seinem mahrischen Kollegen Eduard Kulke (1831-1897) erstmals eine eigene Untersuchung gewidmet. Ihre Ghettogeschichten reprasentieren,...
