Als er 1945 in New York seinen amerikanischen Verlag ins Leben rief, k{\"u}ndigte er ihn mit folgenden Worten an: Schocken ignorierte damit die Arbeit der zahlreichen bestehenden amerikanisch-j{\"u}dischen Verlagsh{\"a}user, da diese seiner Meinung nach nicht die Aufgabe erf{\"u}llten, die ihm vorschwebte: die R{\"u}ckf{\"u}hrung traditionsferner und damit in ihrer Identit{\"a}t unsicherer Juden durch Auseinandersetzung mit ihrem kulturellen Erbe. Dieses Ziel hatte bereits das Programm des Berliner Schocken Verlags (1931- 1938) bestimmt, der die vom Gr{\"u}nder genannten „repr{\"a}sentative[n] Kostproben des Judentums" ver{\"o}ffentlicht und damit zur „j{\"u}dischen Kulturrenaissance" der 1930er Jahre beigetragen hatte.² Auch nach seiner Emigration nach Pal{\"a}stina 1934 blieb Schocken einer deutsch-j{\"u}dischen Wissenskultur zeitlebens verhaftet. Mit seiner verlegerischen Arbeit in den USA wollte Schocken das Programm seines Berliner Verlags f{\"u}r das amerikanische Nachkriegsjudentum neu auflegen, da sich dieses - seiner Meinung nach - in einer {\"a}hnlichen geistigen Situation befand wie das deutsche Judentum der Weimarer Republik. Entsprechend verk{\"u}ndete er 1945 in einer Rede in Jerusalem: „Sie wissen, dass ich jetzt daran arbeite, den Schockenverlag in Amerika zu machen. Das ist eine Imitation des deutschen Verlages. [...] Entfernungen existieren nicht mehr und Einfluss von hier nach dort und dort nach hier ist nicht mehr zu {\"u}bersehen."³ In diesen Aussagen klingen bereits verschiedene Schl{\"u}sselthemen der Rolle von Schocken Books New York an, dessen Geschichte bisher nur ansatzweise erforscht ist: Der Bezug auf Schockens Erfahrungen in Deutschland und das davon gepr{\"a}gte kulturpolitische Programm, das Kontinuit{\"a}ten zwischen zwei r{\"a}umlich und zeitlich fundamental getrennten j{\"u}dischen Gemeinschaften postulierte und auf einen transnationalen Kanon j{\"u}dischen Wissens zielte. Schocken wirkte mit seinen Verlagen, die er in Deutschland, Pal{\"a}stina/Israel und den USA gr{\"u}ndete, nicht nur an drei Schl{\"u}sselorten der j{\"u}dischen Moderne. Sein Verlagsprogramm stand zudem im Kontext eines Schl{\"u}sselprozesses j{\"u}discher Modernisierung: der Transformation traditionell-religi{\"o}sen Wissens in posttraditionell-kulturelle Formen. Dieser Beitrag stellt anhand von Quellen aus dem Verlagsarchiv, der Nachl{\"a}sse von Schockens Lektoren in den USA und der Rezeption von Schocken Books in den USA den Verlagsgr{\"u}nder Salman Schocken und die beiden Verlage in Berlin und New York vor. Im Zentrum der Analyse stehen die transnationale Verflechtung der Verlagsh{\"a}user und die Frage nach dem in den Publikationsprogrammen angestrebten transnationalen Kanon j{\"u}dischen Wissens in der Moderne.}, language = {de} } @article{Krah2021, author = {Krah, Markus}, title = {Exporting Jewish Ideas from Germany (via Palestine) to America}, series = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, journal = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, number = {27}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-520-0}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-53304}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-533049}, pages = {101 -- 115}, year = {2021}, abstract = {When he founded Schocken Books in 1945, department store magnate, philanthropist, and publisher Salman Schocken (1877-1959) called his new American publishing business an imitation of its German predecessor, which had functioned from 1931 until 1938. He intended it to replicate the success of the Berlin Schocken Verlag by spiritually fortifying a Jewish community uncertain in its identity. The new company reflected the transnational transfer of people, ideas, and texts between Germany, Palestine/Israel, and the United States. Its success and near-failure raise questions about transnationalism and American Jewish culture: Can a culture be imposed on a population which has its own organs and agencies of cultural production? Had American Jewish culture developed organically to the specific place where several million Jews found themselves and according to uniquely American cultural patterns? The answers suggest that the concepts of transnationalism and cultural transfer complement each other as tools to analyze American Jewry in its American and Jewish contexts.}, language = {en} } @article{DinerKrah2021, author = {Diner, Hasia and Krah, Markus}, title = {Foreign Entanglements}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien}, number = {27}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-520-0}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-53276}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-532761}, pages = {13 -- 21}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{Krah2017, author = {Krah, Markus}, title = {Further forward through the past}, series = {Shofar : an interdisciplinary journal of Jewish studies}, volume = {35}, journal = {Shofar : an interdisciplinary journal of Jewish studies}, number = {4}, publisher = {Purdue University Press}, address = {Ashland}, issn = {0882-8539}, doi = {10.1353/sho.2017.0027}, pages = {111 -- 131}, year = {2017}, abstract = {From the 1940s well into the 1960s, a new sociocultural constellation let American Jews redefine their relationship to the religious tradition.
