Abstract

"Only a few decades after the Holocaust, Belgian Jews, like most European Jewries, are under the attack of forces stemming from a variety of sources. How do they confront and stand these new hardships? Research done all over Europe from 2012 through 2013 tried to answer this question. Among the cases investigated, the Belgian Jewry is one of the most interesting. It is both versatile and representative, revealing essential components of the general experience of European Jews today. Conceptual considerations pave the way to the study of their plight that has been, by any criterion, anything but "usual". Belgian Jews, it appears, are "like" many other Jewries in Europe but "a little more". They highlight the question: is allosemitism at all surmountable?"--

Abstract

The crumbling of the USSR has set Russian-speaking Jews free to emigrate. From the threat of antisemitism to economic disaster, their "good reasons" to do so were numerous and within one and a half decade most of them moved out and scattered throughout the world. This book is about the million that settled in Israel, the half million now in the US and the 200.000 who settled in Germany. This book presents the comparative work of an international team of researchers which delves into the building of communities, the formulation of collective identities and the articulation of public discourse by people who, after eighty years of Marxism-Leninism and compulsory removal from Jewish culture, are now reconstructing their ethnicity. In every place, they face contrasting challenges and as a whole, constitute an ideal case for the study of the making of contemporary transnational diasporas.

Abstract

En 1958, le chef de l'Etat israélien Ben Gourion eut l'idée peu banale de consulter une cinquantaine de sages Juifs, en Israël et en diaspora, en des termes qui revenaient à soulever l'immense question " Qui est Juif ? " Parmi ces sages, on compte des figures marquantes de la pensée juive rabbins, philosophes, hommes de sciences, médecins, juristes, juifs pratiquants tel le prix Nobel de littérature Agnon, ou libéraux ou libres-penseurs, tel Isaiah Berlin. A l'origine de l'enquête, on trouve une question récurrente dans les débats qui agitent le tout jeune Etat hébreu : doit-on accepter au sein du peuple Juif, ou non, ou sous quelles conditions, les enfants nés de mariages mixtes et dont la mère n'est pas juive ? Les réponses sont riches d'enseignement, et font apparaître la grande diversité des positions sur ce que peuvent être les frontières du judaïsme, et sur ce que signifie, très profondément, le fait d'être juif. Ces documents exceptionnels sont publiés pour la première fois grâce aux recherches d'Eliezer Ben-Rafaël. Quarante ans plus tard, il replace ces réponses dans le contexte des transformations du judaïsme depuis l'entrée des juifs dans l'ère moderne, jusqu'à l'aube du 21e siècle. Eliezer Ben-Rafaël nous livre ainsi un essai argumenté, érudit et pertinent sur ce qu il nomme " les identités juives ". Il montre le caractère aujourd'hui problématique de l'existence d'une identité juive unique, et il cherche à déterminer ce qui lui donnerait encore ce que Wittgenstein appelle un " air de famille ".

Abstract

This book deals with transnationalism and captures its singularity as a generalized phenomenon. The profusion of transnational communities is a factor of fluidity in social orders and represents confrontations between contingencies and basic socio-cultural drives. It has created a new era different from the past at essential respects. This is an age of enriching cultural diversity fraught with threatening risks inextricably linked to contemporary globalization. National sovereignty is eroded from above by global processes, from below by aspirations of sub-national groups, and from the sides - by transnational allegiances. This is the backdrop against which this book delves into the fundamental issues relating to the nature, scope and overall significance of transnationalism.
