Abstract

Abstract:Focusing on Hebrew-language children’s books published in Palestine in the 1930s and 40s by first-generation immigrants from German-speaking countries, this article explores the cultural and social legacy that this community of recently arrived German speakers sought to transmit to its children. It illustrates this immigrant community’s ambivalence toward both socialist-Zionist discourse—which was hegemonic among Jews in Palestine—and its own German cultural heritage. It shows that these publishing initiatives gave voice to an alternative model of immigrant adaptation: accepting and even embracing the patriotic local culture in Palestine, without completely merging with it. Even in the 1940s, when German culture was generally taboo, subtle yet persistent attempts to reproduce Germanness in Hebrew-language children’s books revealed that this first generation of immigrants harbored conflicting feelings about their country of origin and their new national identity.

《当德·斯特鲁威尔彼得做出阿利亚:以色列建国时期希伯来儿童文学中的德性》

摘要：本文以20世纪30年代和40年代德语国家第一代移民在巴勒斯坦出版的希伯来语儿童书籍为中心，探讨了这个新来的德语社区试图传递给其儿童的文化和社会遗产。它说明了这个移民社区对社会主义犹太复国主义话语（在巴勒斯坦犹太人中是霸权）和其自身的德国文化遗产的矛盾心理。这表明，这些出版举措为移民适应的另一种模式发声：接受甚至拥抱巴勒斯坦的爱国本土文化，而不与之完全融合。即使在20世纪40年代，当德国文化普遍被禁忌时，在希伯来语儿童读物中微妙而持久地再现日耳曼人的尝试表明，第一代移民对他们的原籍国和新的国家身份怀有矛盾的感情。

期刊介绍： Jewish Social Studies recognizes the increasingly fluid methodological and disciplinary boundaries within the humanities and is particularly interested both in exploring different approaches to Jewish history and in critical inquiry into the concepts and theoretical stances that underpin its problematics. It publishes specific case studies, engages in theoretical discussion, and advances the understanding of Jewish life as well as the multifaceted narratives that constitute its historiography.
