But this image is far from true. Poor Jews: An American Awakening shatters, once and for all, the stereotype of Jewish affluence.Citing national data and descriptions of the life-styles of the Jewish poor, the authors reveal unique social characteristics of the Jewish poorincluding the surprising statistic that over two-thirds of the members of this group are past the age of sixty, thus experiencing the compounded disadvantage of being poor, elderly, and deserted by the young, mobile Jewish community.Reasons for the "invisibility" of Jewish poverty are examined, as well as how the Jewish community has responded to poverty within its own ethnic group and Jewish attitudes toward the welfare state and charity. The lack of Jewish participation in antipoverty programs is cited, along with measures which will bring them fully into this and other federal and state programs."--Provided by publisher.JewsUnited StatesEconomic conditionsPoorUnited StatesJewsPoor362.8/4Levine Naomi1489954FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910794934503321Poor Jews3710897UNINA04298oam 22007574a 450 991052485830332120231117184120.00-253-05122-3(CKB)5600000000001691(OCoLC)1245646701(MdBmJHUP)muse92581(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/88312(oapen)doab88312(EXLCZ)99560000000000169120170526d1980 uy 0engur|||||||nn|ntxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMyth and LanguageAlbert CookIndiana University Press1980Bloomington :Indiana University Press,1980.©1980.1 online resource (1 online resource ix, 332 pages)pt. 1.The social context:Levi-Strauss, myth, and the neolithic revolution --The large phases of myth --pt. 2.The classical example:Heraclitus and the conditions of utterance --Pindar: "Great deeds of prowess are always many-mythed" --Inquiry: Herodotus --Ovid: the dialectics of recovery from atavism --pt. 3.Elementary forms:Between prose and poetry: the speech and silence of the proverb --Between myth and proverb: the self-enclosure of the riddle --Parable --Metaphor: literature's access to myth --Language and myth.All aspects of human life are perceived and organized through myths and systems of myth. Language is a similarly vital function of our existence. Myth and Language explores the less universally accepted supposition that, particularly for the realm of literature, these two domains are necessarily interrelated. Moreover, this relationship is shown to be crucial to an understanding of the broader roles of literature in society. Unlike previous studies of this symbiosis, which have tended to neglect the importance of language, Myth and Language fully considers the influence of social context on the nature of literary language. Albert Cook begins his investigation into the relationship of myth and language with a critique of the work of Levi-Strauss, showing the usefulness of his binary procedures and sketching a typology of cultural phases, with particular attention to literary forms. Another section traces the redefinition of the relationship of myth and language from the oral Greek culture of Homer to the development of the discrete forms of lyric poetry, philosophy, and historiography. A final section examines the necessary reliance of elementary literary forms—proverb, riddle, parable, metaphor—on the translation of mythic concerns into language. Myth and Language is a cogent argument for the dependence of literary expression on mythic formulations.SprachegndMythosgndMythologiegndMythfast(OCoLC)fst01031678Language and languagesfast(OCoLC)fst00992154Greek literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00947441Folk literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00928888Litterature populaireHistoire et critiqueLitterature grecqueHistoire et critiqueLangage et languesMytheFolk literatureHistory and criticismGreek literatureHistory and criticismLanguage and languagesMythGreecegndCriticism, interpretation, etc.Sprache.Mythos.Mythologie.Myth.Language and languages.Greek literature.Folk literature.Litterature populaireHistoire et critique.Litterature grecqueHistoire et critique.Langage et langues.Mythe.Folk literatureHistory and criticism.Greek literatureHistory and criticism.Language and languages.Myth.Cook Albert1925-1998.1168414MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524858303321Myth and Language2720994UNINA
