In the first part, the article suggests that from a historiographical perspective, one may outline three waves of contact between these two cultural phenomena, at opposite ends of Asia. In the first wave, which began in the early twentieth century, Asian influence on Hebrew literature written in Europe was mediated mainly through the philosophers Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. The second wave, which emerged in the 1950s, relates to the influence of the leaders of the Beat Generation, who, in turn, were influenced by modernist poetry in English, which was colored by contact with Asian poetry. The third wave is part of the glocal New Age phenomenon and its appropriation of certain Buddhist traits. The second part of the article presents several theoretical possibilities of symbioses between cultures, as they appear within language. The third part presents the symptomatic example of the work of contemporary Hebrew writer Yoel Hoffmann, who appears to be a representative of the second wave; however, his work maintains dialogue with the first wave, and its current popularity is part of the third wave. Hoffmann's work serves as an example of how to apply the theoretical possibilities presented in the second part of the article, as an instance of literary contact between two cultures and their respective languages.}, language = {en} } @article{AlbeckGidron2011, author = {Albeck-Gidron, Rachel}, title = {The Holocaust as a Changing Presence in Yoel Hoffmann's Texts}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V.}, number = {17}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-53307}, pages = {175 -- 207}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Yoel Hoffmann is an Israeli writer born in 1937 in Brasov (Kronstadt), Romania. Brought up in a German-speaking family, already in his first book, Sefer Yosef (1989), he conveys the voice of German-speaking immigrants in Israel (the "Katschen" story, 1986) and that of the East European Jewish community in Berlin in the late 1930s, on the verge of the Second World War. His works are crammed with characters of Jews from Germany gripped by the memory of the language they abandoned following their emigration to Palestine in the 1930s. The classic one is the character of Bernhard, in the eponymous work. The current article focuses on the representation and elaboration of Hoffmann's unique creation, in a language influenced by his deep identification with Zen Buddhism on the one hand, and his attraction to the modernist, Western style of stream of consciousness on the other. In central sections of his works, Hoffman presents his entire literary corpus as a type of explicit, allusive, or secret Holocaust literature, and invites his readers and his critics to decode the allusions and expose the secret in this theme, a surprising statement in relation to Hoffmann's work and its analysis so far. Hoffmann represents the Holocaust as a collective Israeli trauma for which his literary fiction creates a special catalogue of representative characters. In the creation of a catalogue, and particularly one that simultaneously classifies and individualizes, Hoffmann's project resembles the monumental 1920s cataloguing project by the celebrated German photographer August Sander (Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts). Hoffmann included photographs from this project in his works, and even chose some of them for the covers of his books. The article examines the implicit relationships between these two creative artists as conferring a meaning so far not considered in the research of the Holocaust theme in Yoel Hoffmann's writings.}, language = {en} } @article{RiemerAlbeckGidronKrah2018, author = {Riemer, Nathanael and Albeck-Gidron, Rachel and Krah, Markus}, title = {Preface}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien [23 (2017)] = JewBus, Jewish Hindus \& other Jewish Encounters with East Asian Religions}, volume = {2017}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien [23 (2017)] = JewBus, Jewish Hindus \& other Jewish Encounters with East Asian Religions}, number = {23}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-408811}, pages = {5 -- 11}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @misc{AlbeckGidronBaraldiBethkeetal.2011, author = {Albeck-Gidron, Rachel and Baraldi, Luca and Bethke, Svenja and Dallapiazza, Michael and Denz, Rebekka and Dordanas, Stratos N. and Dubrau, Alexander and Feinberg, Anat and Gerhardt, Kristiane and Gr{\"o}zinger, Elvira and Gr{\"o}zinger, Karl E. and Hiscott, William and J{\"u}tte, Robert and Kalogrias, Vaios and Kinzel, Tanja and Knufinke, Ulrich and Lewy, Mordechay and Liska, Vivian and Riemer, Nathanael and Schmidt Holl{\"a}nder, Hanna and Solomon, Francisca and Szulc, Michał and Talabardon, Susanne and Ulmer, Martin and Wagner, Birgitt}, title = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V. = Ghetto : R{\"a}ume und Grenzen im Judentum}, number = {17}, editor = {Denz, Rebekka and Jurewicz, Grażyna}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-132-5}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-49387}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Unter Rekurs auf zwei historische Erscheinungsformen des Ghettos - auf j{\"u}dische Wohnviertel der Fr{\"u}hen Neuzeit und nationalsozialistische Ghettos - wurde der Begriff ‚Ghetto' zum Symbol von Joch und Verfolgung stilisiert. Diese Sprachpraxis etablierte eine einseitige Forschungsperspektive, die sich ihrem Gegenstand aus dem T{\"a}ter-Opfer-Paradigma heraus n{\"a}herte. In der j{\"u}ngsten Zeit unternahm man jedoch Versuche, diese Perspektive zu brechen, indem man das Ghetto-Ph{\"a}nomen anhand solcher Untersuchungskategorien wie ‚Lebenswelt', ‚Erfahrung' und ‚Konstruktion von Raum' sowie ‚Ambivalenz von Raum und Grenze' befragte. Das stetig wachsende Interesse an begrifflicher Reflexion {\"u}ber den Sprachk{\"o}rper ‚Ghetto' und an den von ihm bezeichneten historischen Ph{\"a}nomenen samt ihren Widerspiegelungen in der Literatur und bildenden K{\"u}nsten ist ein starkes Indiz f{\"u}r einen Wandel der Sehgewohnheiten innerhalb der Forschung. In Folge der vorgenommenen Differenzierungen entwickeln sich neue Fragestellungen und Ans{\"a}tze, die die Reduktion der Wissenschaft von der j{\"u}dischen Geschichte und Kultur auf die Kategorien von ‚Unterdr{\"u}ckung' und ‚Verfolgung' zu {\"u}berwinden erlauben. Mit dem vorliegenden Heft m{\"o}chten wir einen Beitrag zu diesem Fachgespr{\"a}ch leisten. Die hier abgedruckten Beitr{\"a}ge lassen sich in zwei Kategorien unterteilen. Zum einen sind es explizite Befragungen des Ghetto-Begriffs im Dienste wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Reflexionen oder neuer Verfahren zur Erforschung historischer Erscheinungsformen des Ghettos. Hierzu geh{\"o}ren die Artikel von Kristiane Gerhardt, Svenja Bethke und Hanna Schmidt Holl{\"a}nder sowie Birgitt Wagner. In ihren historiographiegeschichtlich bzw. methodologisch orientierten Er{\"o}rterungen zeigen die Autorinnen die normative Dimension und die daraus resultierende semantische Wandelbarkeit des Ghetto-Begriffs samt ihren Konsequenzen f{\"u}r die Forschungspraxis. In die zweite Kategorie lassen sich wiederum ph{\"a}nomenologisch interessierte Untersuchungen einreihen, die entweder geschichtliche Fallstudien oder Betrachtungen literarischer Repr{\"a}sentationen des Themas sind.
