摘要

摘要:1968年11月，利奥·罗斯顿出版了他最畅销的词典《意第绪语的乐趣》。本文追溯了这一标志性文本的接受历史，并将其分析框架与罗斯顿在其卷中包含的三种意第绪语“喜悦”的变化:naches, simcha和mechaieh。这些术语限制了对他作品的正面和负面的接受，交替地突出了忠实读者的热情，也助长了最愤怒的人的愤怒。本文进一步指出，在罗斯顿作品的阅读史上，当后白话意第绪文化的赌注与意第绪积极分子的解释观点发生冲突时，就会出现这样的时刻。考察了罗斯顿所包含的“快乐”和他没有包含的“快乐”，使这本书的情感目标和策略得到缓解，并将这篇论文置于犹太研究中关于情感的新兴辩论中。

The Joy of Joys: A Reception History of Leo Rosten's Yiddish Lexicon

Abstract:In November 1968, Leo Rosten published his best-selling lexicon, The Joys of Yiddish. The present essay traces the reception history of this iconic text, framing its analysis with the three Yiddish variations of "joy" that Rosten includes in his volume: naches, simcha, and mechaieh. These terms circumscribe both the positive and negative reception of his work, alternately highlighting the enthusiasm of devoted readers and fueling the ire of the most enraged. The paper further identifies moments in the reading history of Rosten's work when the wager of postvernacular Yiddish culture brushes up against the interpretive perspectives of Yiddish activists. Examining both the "joys" that Rosten includes and those he does not brings into relief the emotional goals and strategies of the volume and situates this paper in the emerging debates in Jewish studies concerning affect.
