Sounding Jewish in Berlin
This book tells the story of Berlin's dynamic klezmer scene, tracing the ongoing dialogue between traditional Yiddish folk music and the creativity and modern urbanity of the German capital. It reveals how contemporary klezmer has become not only a product but also a producer of the city.
Ultima Philosophia
Metaphysik scheint nicht zu retten – aber ohne Metaphysik ist ein Begriff wie Rettung gar nicht denkbar. Die alten Fragen nach Gott, Freiheit und Unsterblichkeit mögen zwar zu groß, zu abstrakt oder zu gutgläubig gestellt gewesen sein. Ein Denken, das sie achtlos links liegen lässt, versäumt jedoch, die eigenen Voraussetzungen zu reflektieren und über den eigenen Horizont hinauszublicken: Postmetaphysische Philosophie nimmt in Kauf, im schlechten Sinne naiv zu werden, eben weil sie sich, um die großen Fragen loszuwerden, auf das innerweltlich Vorfindbare und Evidente beschränkt, während die Fragen selbst nicht einfach verschwinden.

Klezmer's Afterlife

Cemetery Citizens
Across the United States, groups of grassroots volunteers gather in overgrown, systemically neglected cemeteries. As they rake, clean headstones, and research silenced histories, they offer care to individuals who were denied basic rights and forms of belonging in life and in death. Cemetery Citizens is the first book-length study of this emerging form of social justice work. It focuses on how racial disparities shape the fates of the dead, and asks what kinds of repair are still possible. Drawing on interviews, activist anthropology, poems, and drawings, Adam Rosenblatt takes us to gravesite reclamation efforts in three prominent American cities. Cemetery Citizens dives into the ethical quandaries and practical complexities of cemetery reclamation, showing how volunteers build community across social boundaries, craft new ideas about citizenship and ancestry, and expose injustices that would otherwise be suppressed. Ultimately, Rosenblatt argues that an ethic of reclamation must honor the presence of the dead—treating them as fellow cemetery citizens who share our histories, landscapes, and need for care.
