Inhalt
The seminar aims to trace issues of identity and belonging in texts by Jewish British women writers. In British society ever since World War II, it has been class more than anything else that made it difficult for Jews to define an identity of their own; either they were excluded or they assimilated into society, but they did not have or did not want to have a voice of their own.
In this seminar we will discuss a variety of perspectives that shape Jewish identity in Great Britain by focusing of the contribution of women writers. The topics will include immigration from Eastern Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, exiles who had either escaped or survived the Shoah, the foundation of the State of Israel, the legacy of the Shoah, the Palestinian conflict, orthodox and liberal Judaism, and old and new forms of anti-Semitism.
Among the writers we will discuss is Marjorie Agosin, a Chilean-American writer, who is going to be a guest in our seminar on 17th June. She will talk about and read from her new book, Maps of Memory (2020).

We will read, discuss and include a number of texts. The list below is more than we can actually do in one semester. So please understand it as a list of suggestions and let me know at your earliest convenience whether you are interested in any specific text for your presentation/paper. The texts marked with this sign ° are for smaller presentations, i.e. for students who do not want to write a term paper.
