Cultural Heritage and Mobility from a Multisensory Perspective
Cultural Heritage and Mobility from a Multisensory Perspective bridges the gap between cultural heritage and mobility studies through the employment of theoretical and methodological multisensory perspectives. An interdisciplinary volume covering a broad range of empirical cases, this book focuses on the engagement with cultural heritage in the context of mobility. The book presents a grassroots perspective of individual heritage performances by mobile and moving actors, analyzing them with close attention to their embodied aspects: bodily experiences, sensory impressions, and the affect and emotions they evoke. As a result, the collection of case studies presented covers empirical, theoreti...
Exile. Ein Kunstheft
Jalta steht für Positionen zur jüdischen Gegenwart. Für Vielstimmigkeit. Jalta ist auch der Versuch, Brücken zu schlagen – in eine Vergangenheit. Und in eine zu gestaltende Zukunft. Im Zentrum des fünften Hefts stehen mehrheitlich künstlerische Arbeitsweisen, die sich damit befassen, was es bedeutet, Teil zu sein und nicht Teil zu sein. Von Ibn Gabirol zur Gegenwartslyrik, von der Liturgie zur Gegenwartsbewältigung. Auf welche Weise beeinflussen und fundieren Exilerfahrungen die Entwicklung künstlerischer und kultureller Ausdrucksformen? Welche neuen Perspektiven ermöglicht das Exil? Und zu welchen jüdischen und nichtjüdischen Gegenwarten führt das? Den aufgeworfenen Fragen gehen Dichter*innen, bildende Künstler*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen aus ihren je eigenen Perspektiven nach. Es entsteht eine mobile Ausstellung, mit den Händen zu blättern, mit den Augen zu begehen, transportabel, auf- und ausstellbar an unterschiedlichen Räumen, zeitgleich oder versetzt.

Polacos in Argentina
Winner of the Latin American Jewish Studies Association Best Book Award 2020 An examination of the social and cultural repercussions of Jewish emigration from Poland to Argentina in the 1920s and 1930s Between the 1890s and 1930s, Argentina, following the United States and Palestine, became the main destination for Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews seeking safety, civil rights, and better economic prospects. In the period between 1918 and 1939, sixty thousand Polish Jews established new homes in Argentina. They formed a strong ethnic community that quickly embraced Argentine culture while still maintaining their unique Jewish-Polish character. This mass migration caused the transformation of c...
Studying Hasidism
Hasidism, a Jewish religious movement that originated in Poland in the eighteenth century, today counts over 700,000 adherents, primarily in the U.S., Israel, and the UK. Popular and scholarly interest in Hasidic Judaism and Hasidic Jews is growing, but there is no textbook dedicated to research methods in the field, nor sources for the history of Hasidism have been properly recognized. Studying Hasidism, edited by Marcin Wodziński, an internationally recognized historian of Hasidism, aims to remedy this gap. The work’s thirteen chapters each draws upon a set of different sources, many of them previously untapped, including folklore, music, big data, and material culture to demonstrate what is still to be achieved in the study of Hasidism. Ultimately, this textbook presents research methods that can decentralize the role community leaders play in the current literature and reclaim the everyday lives of Hasidic Jews.
Voices from the Bialystok Ghetto
For more than 70 years a diary that was written in Bialystok during World War II was virtually unnoticed and about to be discarded with trash when someone looked inside and discerned its historic value. It was written between 1939 and 1943 by young David Spiro (in Polish Dawid Szpiro) who probably died during his city’s ghetto uprising against the Nazis. The diary described life in the city during Russian and then German governance from the perspective of an ordinary young man - certainly not a charismatic leader. As David explained, “If someone reads my diary in the future, will they be able to believe something like that? Surely not, they will say poppycock and lies, but this is the truth, disgusting and terrible; for me it’s a reality.” With permission from the current owners, much of David Spiro’s poignant first-hand account is reproduced here along with memoirs written by other Bialystokers who lived and mostly died during those terrible times.
