This essay reconsiders the affinity of Buber's late writings with Volkish ideology. It examines the allegations against Buber's Volkish thought in light of his later biblical and Hasidic writings. By illuminating the ideological affinity between these two modes of thought, the essay explains how Buber aims to depart from the dangers of myth without rejecting myth as such. I argue that Buber's relationship to myth can help us to explain his critique of nationalism. My basic argument is that in his struggle with hyper-nationalism, Buber follows the Baal Shem Tov and his struggle against Sabbateanism. Like the Besht, Buber does not reject myth, but seeks instead to repair it from within. Whereas hyper-nationalism uses myth to advance its political goals, Buber seeks to reposition ethics within a mythic framework. I view Buber's exegesis and commentaries on biblical and Hasidic myths as myth-activism.}, language = {en} } @article{Riemer2019, author = {Riemer, Nathanael}, title = {Messianische Juden und ihr Beitrag zu deutsch-j{\"u}dischen und deutsch-israelischen Begegnungen}, series = {Juden und Nichtjuden nach der Shoah : Begegnungen in Deutschland}, journal = {Juden und Nichtjuden nach der Shoah : Begegnungen in Deutschland}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-11-057008-3}, doi = {10.1515/9783110570083-013}, pages = {167 -- 194}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @misc{Schorsch2019, author = {Schorsch, Jonathan}, title = {Olive Oil, Anointing, Ecstasy, and Ecology}, series = {Ritual Dynamics in Jewish and Christian Contexts : Between Bible and Liturgy}, volume = {34}, journal = {Ritual Dynamics in Jewish and Christian Contexts : Between Bible and Liturgy}, publisher = {Brill}, address = {Leiden}, isbn = {978-90-04-40595-0}, issn = {1388-2074}, doi = {10.1163/9789004405950_012}, pages = {215 -- 236}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Merkur2019, author = {Merkur, Lianne}, title = {Pillars of Salt}, series = {Jewish Identities in a Changing World ; 32}, journal = {Jewish Identities in a Changing World ; 32}, publisher = {Brill}, address = {Boston}, isbn = {978-90-04-42023-6}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {329}, year = {2019}, abstract = {In Pillars of Salt, Lianne Merkur offers an account of early 21st century immigration as experienced by Israelis in Berlin and Toronto, who simultaneously explore a sense of belonging balanced between new home and homeland, examined through self-expression exercises.}, language = {en} } @article{Pilz2019, author = {Pilz, Sonja K.}, title = {Three Strange Spaces: An Ethnographic Study in the Construction of Contemporary Jewish Sacred Spaces}, series = {Liturgy}, volume = {34}, journal = {Liturgy}, number = {4}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0458-063X}, doi = {10.1080/0458063X.2019.1679580}, pages = {26 -- 43}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @misc{FischerRiemerSchuelerSpringorum2019, author = {Fischer, Stefanie and Riemer, Nathanael and Sch{\"u}ler-Springorum, Stefanie}, title = {Vorwort}, series = {Juden und Nichtjuden nach der Shoah: Begegnungen in Deutschland}, journal = {Juden und Nichtjuden nach der Shoah: Begegnungen in Deutschland}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-11-057008-3}, doi = {10.1515/9783110570083-001}, pages = {VII -- VIII}, year = {2019}, language = {de} }
