He destroys in order to create. In a sweeping critique of the field, Benjamin Schreier resituates Jewish Studies in order to make room for a critical study of identity and identification. Displacing the assumption that Jewish Studies is necessarily the study of Jews, this book aims to break down the walls of the academic ghetto in which the study of Jewish American literature often seems to be contained: alienated from fields like comparative ethnicity studies, American studies, and multicultural studies; suffering from the unwillingness of Jewish Studies to accept critical literary studies as a legitimate part of its project; and so often refusing itself to engage in self-critique. The Impossible Jew interrogates how the concept of identity is critically put to work by identity-based literary study. Through readings of key authors from across the canon of Jewish American literature and culture—including Abraham Cahan, the New York Intellectuals, Philip Roth, and Jonathan Safran Foer—Benjamin Schreier shows how texts resist the historicist expectation that self-evident Jewish populations are represented in and recoverable from them. Through ornate, scabrous, funny polemics, Schreier draws the lines of relation between Jewish American literary study and American studies, multiethnic studies, critical theory, and Jewish Studies formations. He maintains that a Jewish Studies beyond ethnicity is essential for a viable future of Jewish literary study.

Mark Twains Huck Finn ist lange Zeit die Ausnahme; dann werden Texte, in denen Kinder-Erzähler als Vermittler ihrer eigenen Geschichte auftreten, zahlreicher. In der erzählenden Literatur des ausgehenden 20. und beginnenden 21. Jahrhunderts ergreift das Kind immer häufiger das Wort. Im Fokus dieser Untersuchung stehen Romane, in denen eine besonders komplexe strukturelle und hermeneutische Beziehung zwischen Autor, Kinder-Erzähler und Rezipient aufgebaut wird. Die Arbeit nähert sich solchen kindlichen Erzählern schrittweise an: Zunächst werden (literatur-)wissenschaftliche und literarische Diskursräume ausgelotet, in denen dem Kind eine entscheidende Rolle zukommt und die unser Denken vom ‚Kindsein‘ bis heute bestimmen. Zahlreichen Beispielen aus der internationalen Literatur folgt eine eingehende Betrachtung dreier Romane des italienischen, amerikanischen und deutsch-rumänischen Kulturraums. An Texten von Niccolò Ammaniti, Jonathan Safran Foer und Aglaja Veteranyi werden ästhetische und narrative Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede herausgearbeitet. Auf scheinbar naiv-direkte Weise erzählen die Figuren Befremdliches, Verstörendes und Unfassbares wie Krieg, Terror und Missbrauch. Die Arbeit untersucht die Inszenierungsformen einer solchen Erzählhaltung, um deren poetologische Bandbreite und gesellschaftliche Dringlichkeit aufzuzeigen.

Postmodernism Literature and Race explores the question of how dramatic shifts in conceptions of race in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have been addressed by writers at the cutting edge of equally dramatic transformations of literary form. An opening section engages with the broad question of how the geographical and political positioning of experimental writing informs its contribution to racial discourses, while later segments focus on central critical domains within this field: race and performativity, race and the contemporary nation, and postracial futures. With essays on a wide range of contemporary writers, including Bernadine Evaristo, Alasdair Gray, Jhumpa Lahiri, Andrea Levy, and Don DeLillo, this volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of the politics and aesthetics of contemporary writing.

Rethinking Postmodernism(s) revisits three historical sites of American literary postmodernism: the early postmodernism of Thomas Pynchon’s V. (1961), the emancipatory postmodernism of Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987), and the late or post-postmodernism of Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated (2002). For the first time, it confronts these texts with the pragmatist philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce, staging a conceptual dialogue between pragmatism and postmodernism that historicizes and recontextualizes customary readings of postmodern fiction. The book is a must-read for all interested in current reassessments of literary postmodernism, in new critical dialogues between seminal postmodern texts, and in recent attempts to theorize the ‘post-postmodern’ moment.
