The book?s purpose is to trace how these two types of investment are represented by francophone Jewish writers. Israel is at once a problematic geopolitical reality in international politics and a salient topos within Jewish cultural imaginaries that transcend national boundaries. However, it has often been claimed that Israel has a ?special? relationship with France, which until 1967 was its greatest ally. Israel has a large francophone community (some 800,000), while France has the largest Jewish community in Europe (some 600,000). But Franco-Israeli relations have undergone radical, largely negative transformations under the Fifth Republic (1958- ). The scope of the book is wide, addressing the following questions. How do francophone Jewish writers represent Israel in their literary works? What responses to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict do they express both in these works and in non-literary discourse (interviews and journalistic articles)? What is the role in those responses of emotion, affect, cognition, and ethics? To answer these questions, the book examines 44 different autobiographies, memoirs and novels published between 1965 and 2012 by 27 different authors, both male and female, covering the full cultural spectrum of Jews: Ashkenazic, Sephardic, and Mizrahi. The approach of the book is interdisciplinary, combining literary analysis with insights from the domains of history, journalism, philosophy, politics, psychoanalysis, and sociology. 410 0$aContemporary French and francophone cultures ;$v40. 606 $aFrench literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrench literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a840.9352 700 $aCairns$b Lucille$0937824 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159460403321 996 $aFrancophone Jewish writers$92112525 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04762nam 2200577I 450 001 9910786002203321 005 20230220211219.0 010 $a1-4962-1012-3 010 $a1-283-94881-8 010 $a0-8032-4580-7 035 $a(CKB)2670000000330604 035 $a(EBL)1110054 035 $a(OCoLC)828302569 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000804509 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11468612 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000804509 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10814467 035 $a(PQKB)11057411 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1110054 035 $a(OCoLC)824353872 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse24605 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1110054 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10644775 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL426131 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000330604 100 $a20120808d2013 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|||||||nn|n 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aBlurring the boundaries $eexplorations to the fringes of nonfiction /$fedited by B.J.
