Contesting Identities in Jewish Philanthropy --Contributors --IndexDiaspora, considered as a context for insights into Jewish identity, brings together a lively, interdisciplinary group of scholars in this innovative volume. Readers needn't expect, however, to find easy agreement on what those insights are. The concept "diaspora" itself has proved controversial; galut, the traditional Hebrew expression for the Jews' perennial condition, is better translated as "exile." The very distinction between diaspora and exile, although difficult to analyze, is important enough to form the basis of several essays in this fine collection."Iden tity" is an even more elusive concept. The contributors to Diasporas and Exiles explore Jewish identity-or, more accurately, Jewish identities-from the mutually illuminating perspectives of anthropology, art history, comparative literature, cultural studies, German history, philosophy, political theory, and sociology. These contributors bring exciting new emphases to Jewish and cultural studies, as well as the emerging field of diaspora studies. Diasporas and Exiles mirrors the richness of experience and the attendant virtual impossibility of definition that constitute the challenge of understanding Jewish identity.Jewish diasporaHistoryJewsIdentityJewsCivilizationElectronic books.Jewish diasporaHistory.JewsIdentity.JewsCivilization.909/.04924Wettstein Howard855735MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450131203321Diasporas and exiles2485614UNINA04238nam 2201021Ia 450 991078899820332120200520144314.01-282-77272-497866127727260-520-94547-610.1525/9780520945470(CKB)3390000000007009(EBL)922894(OCoLC)794663669(SSID)ssj0000433475(PQKBManifestationID)11257966(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000433475(PQKBWorkID)10390880(PQKB)11012144(OCoLC)668193943(MdBmJHUP)muse30556(DE-B1597)519699(DE-B1597)9780520945470(Au-PeEL)EBL922894(CaPaEBR)ebr10675808(CaONFJC)MIL277272(MiAaPQ)EBC922894(EXLCZ)99339000000000700920090715d2010 ub 0engur||#||||||||txtccrBackstory 5[electronic resource] interviews with screenwriters of the 1990s /edited and with an introduction by Patrick McGilliganBerkeley University of California Pressc20101 online resource (264 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-25105-9 0-520-26039-2 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Front matter --CONTENTS --ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --INTRODUCTION --ME GENERATION EVERYMAN --BREAKING THE RULES --FEMINIST WITH A FUNNY BONE --IMAGINATION --STRAIGHT OUTTA SHERMER --SINCERITY --A WRITER UNDER THE INFLUENCE --THE JOURNEY --PRIDE OF AUTHORSHIP --THE NONCONFORMIST --ADVENTURES IN MOVIES --FREE SPIRIT --QUESTING --ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS --GENERAL INDEX --INDEX OF FILMS, PLAYS, AND BOOKSPatrick McGilligan continues his celebrated interviews with exceptional screenwriters in Backstory 5, focusing on the 1990's. The thirteen featured writers-Albert Brooks, Jean-Claude Carrière, Nora Ephron, Ronald Harwood, John Hughes, David Koepp, Richard LaGravenese, Barry Levinson, Eric Roth, John Sayles, Tom Stoppard, Barbara Turner, and Rudy Wurlitzer-are not confined to the 1990's, but their engrossing, detailed, and richly personal stories create, in McGilligan's words, "a snapshot of a profession in motion." Emphasizing the craft of writing and the process of collaboration, this new volume looks at how Hollywood is changing to meet new economic and creative challenges. Backstory 5 explores how these writers come up with their ideas, how they go about adapting a stage play or work of fiction, how they organize and structure their work, and much more.ScreenwritersCaliforniaLos AngelesInterviewsMotion picture authorshipCaliforniaLos AngelesInterviews1990s.adaptations.albert brooks.backstory.barbara turner.barry levinson.behind the scenes.biographical.career.collaborative projects.contemporary.david koepp.eric roth.fictional works.jean claude carriere.john hughes.john sayles.movie writers.nonfiction.nora ephron.personal interviews.pop culture.popular movies.popular television.richard lagravenese.ronald harwood.rudy wurlitzer.screenwriters.stage plays.television writers.tom stoppard.writing.ScreenwritersMotion picture authorship812/.5409McGilligan Patrick554684MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788998203321Backstory 53833443UNINA
