WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE? --NOTES --INDEXAdventures in Yiddishland examines the transformation of Yiddish in the six decades since the Holocaust, tracing its shift from the language of daily life for millions of Jews to what the author terms a post-vernacular language of diverse and expanding symbolic value. With a thorough command of modern Yiddish culture as well as its centuries-old history, Jeffrey Shandler investigates the remarkable diversity of contemporary encounters with the language. His study traverses the broad spectrum of people who engage with Yiddish-from Hasidim to avant-garde performers, Jews as well as non-Jews, fluent speakers as well as those who know little or no Yiddish-in communities across the Americas, in Europe, Israel, and other outposts of "Yiddishland."Yiddish languageYiddish languageSocial aspectsJewsLanguagesLanguage and cultureavant garde.belief.contemporary.cultural history.cultural.faith.hasidic jews.hasidism.jewish culture.jewish.judaism.language change.language history.language.linguistics.postvernacular.religion.rhetoric.social studies.symbolic.symbolism.transformation.vernacular.world history.yiddish culture.yiddish history.yiddish speakers.yiddish.Yiddish language.Yiddish languageSocial aspects.JewsLanguages.Language and culture.439/.1Shandler Jeffrey1604958MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826341803321Adventures in Yiddishland3929958UNINA
