Fashioning Jews
This volume presents papers delivered at the 24th Annual Klutznick-Harris Symposium, held at Creighton University in October 2011.

Von religiös-devoten Formen wie den Marien- oder Ahnenkulten bis hin zur frenetischen Hingabe an die Genies der Kulturindustrie – im Verehren erfährt sich das Subjekt in der Beziehung zu einem unerreichbaren »Höheren« selbst.

Denn in der Verehrung entsteht ein ungleiches Machtgefüge, das sich zwischen einem Höchstmaß an Verzauberung und devoter Selbstentfremdung bewegt.
