But Reznikoff also inherits and finds in this an alternative to both urban capitalism and market-influenced modernist publishing. Manually setting type at a printing press in his parents' basement, Reznikoff self-published many of his early books while also working in the family clothing business. Writing was a craft that continued, rather than broke from, his family trade. His production of texts, following his depiction of his parents' textile-work in the rarely examined memoir Family Chronicle, takes part in what we can term a \"fabriculture\" that resists commodity valuation in modern industry and modernist publishing. In the 1930 novel By the Waters of Manhattan, Reznikoff's protagonist uses the fabricultural lessons of material production to rescue the individuality of the self from the anonymity and interchangeability of the modern city. Reznikoff's poetry and prose weave together his parents' lives in textile with his own in text, establishing this inherited family trade as a metaphor for crafting a whole garment from the disparate elements of the modern Jewish self.","PeriodicalId":41533,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature","volume":"37 1","pages":"37 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41851316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Didactic Motherhood and Narrative Responsibility in Anca Vlasopolos’s Memoir No Return Address 安卡·弗拉索波洛斯回忆录《无回信地址》中的说教性母性与叙事责任

Through the didactic function of mothers, Vlasopolos demonstrates that motherhood ensures Jewish women’s psychological and genealogical endurance in the face of Fascist and Communist anti-Semitism. The memoir also indicates that Jewish women’s personal motivation to become mothers stems from their needs to maintain a distinctive political and historical identity and to foster an awareness of a legacy that Fascism and Communism in Romania ignored altogether. In No Return Address, the maternal implicates the memoirist in two ways. First, Vlasopolos is a daughter, engaging in meaningful relationships with her mother and other “mother” figures who survived the Holocaust and Romanian Fascism (1923–1943). Second, the author is a mother in the timeframe of the writing act, responding disapprovingly to state anti-Semitism, state patriarchy, and her knowledge of Communism (1945–1989) mostly from her mother.","PeriodicalId":41533,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature","volume":"36 1","pages":"158 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44500704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In part the novel is extremely timely in that it signals our contemporary concern with materiality, in which digitalization seems to portend the erasure of print culture and at the same time cause a reactive and romantic embrace of tangible physical texts. At another level, the novel also attempts to re-address the position and role of Judaism during the dotcom boom and bust era of 1999–2002. I argue that while compared to Goodman’s earlier works this novel appears to situate Judaism peripherally, it in fact endorses what I term a strong Jewish “sensibility” because of its focus on texts (letters and cookbooks in particular, Torah as a more implicit backdrop). I examine the presentation of texts as archives (as sites of memory and also as anticipatory absences), texts as both utterances and material objects, the relationship between texts and terrain (the natural landscape), and texts and temporality, noting the way that Judaism seems to offer, in the novel, a reconciliation of memory (physical text versus uttered text), and identity (collective versus individualistic).","PeriodicalId":41533,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature","volume":"36 1","pages":"177 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45310927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most “visceral” and rancorous response, rationalizing his “ minimal” Jewish involvement, came from Lionel Trilling. The fact that Trilling, nearing age forty, responded at all and responded so viscerally seemed out of character. Trilling in his writing and persona was known as gracious, reserved, balanced. He had barely addressed Jewish concerns since 1931. As the author of acclaimed works on Matthew Arnold and E.M. Forster and close to becoming the first tenured Jew in Columbia’s English department, he seemed to have transcended anxieties as a Jew he had expressed earlier in his writing. This essay will try to explain the disparity between what Trilling seemed to be in 1944 and how he responded. To do so, it will analyze the long-fuse to Trilling’s 1944 outburst and then the outburst itself. It will judge Trilling and like-minded Jewish contemporaries within the three cultural-historical contexts of the mid to late 1920s, the 1930s, and the early to mid 1940s. In these contexts, Trilling and the Zionist writer Ludwig Lewisohn were adversaries. Their prolonged, ultimately nasty feud will be signified.","PeriodicalId":41533,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature","volume":"36 1","pages":"205 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43516020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traumatic origin is a common trope in superhero comics, but the case of Magneto is significant for several reasons. The X-Men comics in the late 1970s and 1980s used the legacy of the Holocaust as a means to transform the Magneto character from villain to hero. This inclusion of the Holocaust was partly a response to contemporary developments in American observances of the Holocaust (creative and institutional). Even though this conflation of history and fiction was meant to facilitate a new identity, it yielded a vexed identity politics that endured in the comics for decades. Magneto had originally been a villain, defined by his notions of genetic supremacy and his willingness to employ mass violence against those he deemed genetically inferior. These early associations remained in the character even as they were insistently overwritten by his (new) past as a Holocaust survivor. At the same time, the comics refrained from identifying Magneto as a Jew—that identity was suggested but never stated. The result was a controversial paradox, a character who was both Nazi and Jew.","PeriodicalId":41533,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Jewish Literature","volume":"36 1","pages":"1 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43874851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
