It is also the first attempt at analyzing the French responses to this new crisis. Chaouat endeavors to understand phenomena of repression, distortion, perversion, or outright denial, within the specific context of French intellectual and cultural history. By looking back to the 1960s and the emergence of a theoretical discourse on trauma, victims and suffering, the Holocaust and the Jews in literature, philosophy, and literary theory, he offer the first in-depth exploration of the cultural roots of French responses to the new antisemitism. Engaging with the work of major thinkers such as Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-François Lyotard, Is Theory Good for the Jews? is an essential texts for scholars of contemporary French and contemporary Jewish Studies.Contemporary French and francophone cultures ;43.AntisemitismFranceHistory20th centuryAntisemitismFranceHistory21st centuryJewsFrancePublic opinionAntisemitismHistoryAntisemitismHistoryJewsPublic opinion.305.892/4044Chaouat Bruno1208515UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910159441603321Is theory good for the Jews2787992UNINA01352nam 2200373z- 450 991069449380332120080205091608.0(CKB)5860000000027722(BIP)018341786(EXLCZ)99586000000002772220220406c2007uuuu -u- -engLeveraging remittances for families and communities hearing before the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Tenth Congress, first session, October 2, 20071 online resource (iii, 57 p.) ill0-16-079726-8 Leveraging Remittances for Families and CommunitiesEmigrant remittancesLatin AmericaEconomic developmentLatin AmericaBanks and bankingLatin AmericaRural poorLatin AmericaEmigrant remittancesEconomic developmentBanks and bankingRural poorSocial scienceBusiness & economicsEmigrant remittancesEconomic developmentBanks and bankingRural poorBOOK9910694493803321Leveraging remittances for families and communities3099123UNINA
