{"title":"Jewish Studies and the Pitchfork","authors":"Adam Zachary Newton","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvh1dr0m.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvh1dr0m.8","url":null,"abstract":"Appealing to thinkers not immediately associated with the customary frontiers of JS at a reflexive level allows this chapter to amplify and thicken the inquiry. The intent is to readJewish Studies, to stage its current situation, and to project an imagined future for it. An epigraph from Benjamin’s One-Way Street about productively “losing oneself in a city” is enlisted with a particular audience in mind: practitioners anchored in the archive and the Science of Judaism, for whom the business of JS comes down to method. Disciplinary practice may always seem a far more compelling desideratum for its work than any desire to shift the terms of debate to the matter of community. That ambition is explained in some detail, with particular reference to postmodern philosophy: for it, too, will call for quite a different schooling and, accordingly, a new set of bearings. What may look like calculated destabilization—using the prism of lyric poetry, for example—becomes the power of leaping toward another foundational place—or, Talmudically speaking, standing on one foot. Indeed, that image for learning Torah will be enlisted as one of several heuristic figures in a constellar series that seeks to reimagine Jewish Studies à venir.","PeriodicalId":339401,"journal":{"name":"Jewish Studies as Counterlife","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121638926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also returns to a formulation from one of his earlier essays we have briefly touched upon by reconsidering the question of affiliative belonging. A brief reflection on Bruce Robbins’s notions of secular vocation and professional identity segues to a final section, the most conventionally manifesto-like portion of the book. We return full circle to Sacvan Bercovitch, whose Emersonian reflections on the “alternative possibilities” discoverable in chess’s middle game, alongside those of Stanley Cavell, offer a final heuristic for JS.","PeriodicalId":339401,"journal":{"name":"Jewish Studies as Counterlife","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114797844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
