Wandering Signifier: Rhetoric of Jewishness in the Latin American Imaginary
ISBN: 9780822343677 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While Jews figure in the work of many modern Latin American writers, the questions of how and to what end they are represented have received remarkably little critical attention. Helping to correct this imbalance, Erin Graff Zivin traces the symbolic presence of Jews and Jewishness in late-nineteenth- through late-twentieth-century literary works from Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, and Nicaragua. Ultimately, Graff Zivin s investigation of representations of Jewishness reveals a broader, more complex anxiety surrounding difference in modern Latin American culture.
