WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE? --$tNOTES --$tINDEX 330 $aAdventures 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." 606 $aYiddish language 606 $aYiddish language$xSocial aspects 606 $aJews$xLanguages 606 $aLanguage and culture 610 $aavant garde. 610 $abelief. 610 $acontemporary. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural. 610 $afaith. 610 $ahasidic jews. 610 $ahasidism. 610 $ajewish culture. 610 $ajewish. 610 $ajudaism. 610 $alanguage change. 610 $alanguage history. 610 $alanguage. 610 $alinguistics. 610 $apostvernacular. 610 $areligion. 610 $arhetoric. 610 $asocial studies. 610 $asymbolic. 610 $asymbolism. 610 $atransformation. 610 $avernacular. 610 $aworld history. 610 $ayiddish culture. 610 $ayiddish history. 610 $ayiddish speakers. 610 $ayiddish. 615 0$aYiddish language. 615 0$aYiddish language$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aJews$xLanguages. 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 676 $a439/.1 700 $aShandler$b Jeffrey$01604958 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826341803321 996 $aAdventures in Yiddishland$93929958 997 $aUNINA
