The European Left and the Jewish Question, 1848-1992
This book examines how left-wing political and cultural movements in Western Europe have considered Jews in the last two hundred years. The chapters seek to answer the following question: has there been a specific way in which the Left has considered Jewish minorities? The subject has taken various shapes in the different geographical contexts, influenced by national specificities. In tandem, this volume demonstrates the extent to which left-wing movements share common trends drawn from a collective repertoire of representations and meanings. Highlighting the different aspects of the subject matter, the chapters in this book are divided in three parts, each dedicated to a major theme: the contribution of the theorists of Socialism to the Jewish Question; Antisemitism and its representations in left-wing culture; and the perception of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Taken together, these three themes allow for a multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between the Left and Jews from the second half of the nineteenth century to recent times.

La violencia en Colombia según Fernando Botero: consideraciones historiográficas, estéticas y semióticas
Se organizó la exposición La violencia en Colombia según Fernando Botero entre el 5 y 27 de noviembre de 2009 en el Museo de Artes Visuales de la ujtl. La exposición estuvo acompañada de una actividad académica organizada por el Departamento de Humanidades, que consistió en un ciclo de conferencias titulado "Un acercamiento desde las ciencias sociales y la teoría del arte al conflicto". Las conferencias fueron presentadas por profesores de las maestrías en Semiótica y en Estética e Historia del Arte. Los artículos recogidos en este volumen son el fruto de esta actividad académica y buscan alimentar el debate acerca de la producción artística del maestro Fernando Botero. Las interpretaciones aquí consignadas provienen de tres campos de investigación distintos, pero sin embargo contiguos, como son la historia del arte, la estética y la semiótica. El presente volumen se estructura a partir de artículos que están directamente relacionados con resultados de las líneas de investigación Estética y Política, Historiografía del Arte Latinoamericano y Semiótica Visual del Departamento de Humanidades de la UJTL.
Antisemitism in Film Comedy in Nazi Germany
Today many Germans remain nostalgic about "classic" film comedies created during the 1930s, viewing them as a part of the Nazi era that was not tainted with antisemitism. In Antisemitism in Film Comedy in Nazi Germany, Valerie Weinstein scrutinizes these comic productions and demonstrates that film comedy, despite its innocent appearance, was a critical component in the effort to separate "Jews" from "Germans" physically, economically, and artistically. Weinstein highlights how the German propaganda ministry used directives, pre- and post-production censorship, financial incentives, and influence over film critics and their judgments to replace Jewish "wit" with a slower, simpler, and more d...
