The Moralization of Jewish Heritage in Germany
This book explores and reveals the intricacies of Jewish heritage in contemporary Germany, the role it plays as a "moral heritage" in the symbolic representation of Jews and Judaism in the national landscape, and its relevance for the cultural sustainability of local Jewish communities. The practice of synagogue music in the past and present is a central case study in the discussions. This ethnographic study examines how Jewish liturgical music as the cultural heritage of minorities has been constructed, treated, discussed, appropriated, and passed on to different actors in different forms and for different purposes over time. It also examines the resulting moral and ethical questions and po...
How Whiteness Claimed the Future
Interested in the ideological workings of fiction, I study how major avant-garde tropes promote the potential of permanent renewal as white America’s property. Renewal ties to the capacities to create, progress, transcend, and simply be. From Black critique we know that, within dominant discourse, all these capacities have been denied to Black bodies ever since colonization. Black work has been fetishized, appropriated, stolen, and dismissed in and by dominant culture, while Black being is construed as negativity and barred on the level of ontology. It follows then that racialization operates on multiple levels in the conceptual frame of renewal. I study this conceptualization by re-readin...

»The Power of Love«
Ein Mann - eine Frau - eine Liebe, die alle Hindernisse überdauert: Diese Geschichte wird seit Jahrhunderten immer wieder erzählt. Judith Coffey erarbeitet eine Genealogie dieser modernen Liebesgeschichte anhand von theoretisch fundierten und zugleich textnahen Analysen viktorianischer Romane. Sie zeigt, wie die Romane Liebe als revolutionäre Kraft entwerfen, während sie gleichzeitig heteronormative Geschlechterverhältnisse stabilisieren und die Vorherrschaft des Bürgertums untermauern. So wird eine kritische Perspektive auf die gesellschaftlichen Funktionen der Liebesgeschichte - aber auch auf das Gefühl der Liebe selbst - eröffnet.

In Search of the Utopian States of America
This book endeavours to understand the seemingly direct link between utopianism and the USA, discussing novels that have never been brought together in this combination before, even though they all revolve around intentional communities: Imlay’s The Emigrants (1793), Hawthorne’s The Blithedale Romance (1852), Howland’s Papas Own Girl (1874), Griggs’s Imperium in Imperio (1899), and Du Bois’s The Quest of the Silver Fleece (1911). They relate nation and utopia not by describing perfect societies, but by writing about attempts to immediately live radically different lives. Signposting the respective communal history, the readings provide a literary perspective to communal studies, and add to a deeply necessary historicization for strictly literary approaches to US utopianism, and for studies that focus on Pilgrims/Puritans/Founding Fathers as utopian practitioners. This book therefore highlights how the authors evaluated the USA’s utopian potential and traces the nineteenth-century development of the utopian imagination from various perspectives.
