In German-Jewish Thought and Its Afterlife, Liska innovatively focuses on the changing form, fate and function of messianism, law, exile, election, remembrance, and the transmission of tradition itself in three different temporal and intellectual frameworks: German-Jewish modernism, postmodernism, and the current period. Highlighting these elements of the Jewish tradition in the works of Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, Gershom Scholem, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Celan, Liska reflects on dialogues and conversations between them and on the reception of their work. She shows how this Jewish dimension of their writings is transformed, but remains significant in the theories of Maurice Blanchot and Jacques Derrida and how it is appropriated, dismissed or denied by some of the most acclaimed thinkers at the turn of the twenty-first century such as Giorgio Agamben, Slavoj Z?iz?ek, and Alain Badiou."--$cProvided by publisher 410 0$aJewish literature and culture. 606 $aJews$zGermany$xCivilization 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJews$xCivilization. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 676 $a943/.004924 700 $aLiska$b Vivian$f1956-$01117751 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154682303321 996 $aGerman-Jewish Thought and Its Afterlife$92893737 997 $aUNINA
