Abstract:
Abstract Humor, laughter, joke telling can be frivolous fun or it could act as a sword and a shield to defend and protect us against life. Humor can, at times, illuminate if not completely explain, some of the irresoluble problems and mysteries that individuals face. And, if all else fails, humor can hold off our fear of the unanswerable and the unacceptable. Historically it can be argued that during times of trial, tribulations, and suffering, Jewish communities and individuals have used humor as a way to cope with and deal with reality.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The idea that Jews are “ecophobes” is a favorite shtick of American comedy. But does it reflect the truth? This article offers an alternative reading of the Jewish cultural production in twentieth-century American literature that goes beyond the stereotypical image of the “unnatural Jew.” Principally focused on Bernard Malamud’s novel Dubin’s Lives, this article frames Malamud’s work within the context of post-war environmental thought, American Jewish literature, and Jewish environment ethics. I hope to provide an alternative vision of modern American Jewish imagination and its relation to the nonhuman environment. I argue that this relation takes shape in Jewish culture due in part to its historical context: a context marked by Diaspora and assimilation. I enlist Emmanuel Lévinas’s ethics of asymmetry and Hans Jonas’s ontological ethics to show how Judaism and Jewish philosophy can be an ally in the creation or expansion of contemporary environmental ethics. Textual or performative Jews, to whom American literature and humor have accustomed us, are finally “two with Nature” (as Woody Allen says) not because they are Jewish but, perhaps, because they are not “Jewish” enough.

Abstract:
In 1943 the SS Gauleiter, “district administrator,” of Vienna, Baldur von Schirach, commissioned a performance of The Merchant of Venice at the famed Burgtheater to celebrate the deportation of allthe Jews;Vienna had become Judenrein “cleansed of Jews.” When Werner Krauss, the Nazis'leading actor, first appeared on stage as Shylock, he made the audience shudder. According to the newspaper account:With a crash and a weird train of shadows, something revoltingly alien and startlingly repulsive crawled across the stage…. The pale pink face, surrounded by bright red hair and beard, with its unsteady, cunning little eyes;the greasy caftan with the yellow prayershawl slung round; the splay-footed, shuffling walk; the foot stamping with rage; the claw-like gestures with the hands; the voice, now bawling, now muttering—all add up to a pathological image of the East European Jewish type, expressing all its inner and outer uncleanliness, emphasizing danger through humor.

Abstract:
The subject of the article is a series of humorous works “Szloma Korkociąg przed sądem”, which was published in the anti-Semitic weekly “Pod Pręgierz”. The author focuses on describing the linguistic comedy, the means of which was the stylization of the Polish language for Jews. She also draws attention to situational comedy. The results of the analysis showed that contrast was the essence of the comedy in the pages of selected works. It reflected the dichotomous vision of the world presented by the sender and recipient of the texts; a world in which Poles of Jewish origin were negatively evaluated. The presented comic texts, by spreading anti-Semitism, and harming representatives of the ethnic minority, are part of the phenomenon of linguistic aggression.

Abstract:
Abstract After leaving the Jewish fair of Sulita, Ion Pribeagu, the author of the lyrics of a famous song, Zaraza, became known throughout Romania, and not only, for his humor, satirical verve, inspiring portraits, unexpected forms of intertextuality. Signing under different pseudonyms, such as Ion Pribeagu, he wrote about families, characters, gastronomy, world and its habits, with sparks of comic genius. Living more in Bucharest, where he had become a kind of living legend, emigrating and dying in Tel Aviv, Ion Pribeagu, through everything he wrote, conceived his own fair, something between Sulita and Bucharest, where Romanians and Jews have cohabited at will.

Full text
Abstract:
The comic figure of the yokel has undergone a resurgence in the past decade, culminating in Sacha Baron-Cohen's Borat. The yokel, whose predictable humor is based on his aggressive backwardness and persistent malapropisms, draws attention to the “foreignness” with which multiculturalism is uncomfortable, while also highlighting the economic and cultural dislocation of globalization. Cohen builds on the longstanding stereotypes about Jews and Gypsies (Roma), creating a persona who resembles the “vermin” of Nazi propaganda and manages to elicit racist responses from his unwitting audience. Borat functions within a fictional framework of racism and ethnic hostility, bringing to light barely concealed discomforts about border-crossings, cosmopolitanism, and global cultures.

Abstract:
Abstract In his poem »Memento«, Hinko Gottlieb (1886–1948) – a lawyer and a poet – portrayed a trait of his contemporary and companion Lavoslav Schick (1881–1941) – a historian and a lawyer too – with wit and humor. His approach is biographically, at the same time he uses irony to make fun of Schick’s own biographical approaches to other Croatian Jews. As a result of the analysis of this commemorative poem, published in 1934, questions are raised about the source value of a satirical poem. Likewise, about the meaning, form and about (political) intentions of biographical depictions in general. For the contemporaries, but also for today’s researches.

Abstract:
L’argomento di questa tesi è la relazione tra identità e umorismo in due romanzi contemporanei, An Evening of Long Goodbyes (2003) dell’autore irlandese Paul Murray, e The Finkler Question (2010) dello scrittore anglo-ebraico Howard Jacobson. In particolare, attraverso le teorie di Bakhtin riferite a heteroglossia, double-voiced discourse e hybridization, poi riprese da Bhabha in chiave postcoloniale, la presente ricerca tenta di dimostrare come la comicità di questi due romanzi sia volta a sovvertire alcuni stereotipi riferiti all’identità nazionale o culturale, annullandone la carica negativa e problematizzando la nozione stessa di identità. Mentre il capitolo introduttivo pone le basi teoriche e metodologiche dell’intero lavoro e giustifica la scelta di affiancare gli ambiti anglo-ebraico e irlandese, nei capitoli successivi verranno indagate le ragioni storiche e culturali che hanno portato alla costruzione di stereotipi interni ed esterni rivolti alle due culture. Successivamente si analizza come la tradizione comica – così fiorente in entrambi i casi – abbia tentato di scardinare tali distorsioni e in quali modi. Si opera infine un raffronto con la letteratura contemporanea, per mostrare come i due romanzi oggetto di analisi mettano in opera strategie proprie della tradizione comica alle loro spalle ma riviste attraverso uno sguardo personale e contemporaneo, per rovesciare nuove rappresentazioni tipizzate o distorte dell’ebreo o dell’irlandese, e restituire così un’immagine più autentica, seppur più ambivalente, della loro identità nazionale e culturale.

Matteoni, Francesca. "Blood beliefs in early modern Europe." Thesis, University of Hertfordshire, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2299/4523.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the significance of blood and the perception of the body in both learned and popular culture in order to investigate problems of identity and social exclusion in early modern Europe. Starting from the view of blood as a liminal matter, manifesting fertile, positive aspects in conjunction with dangerous, negative ones, I show how it was believed to attract supernatural forces within the natural world. It could empower or pollute, restore health or waste corporeal and spiritual existence. While this theme has been studied in a medieval religious context and by anthropologists, its relevance during the early modern period has not been explored. I argue that, considering the impact of the Reformation on people’s mentalities, studying the way in which ideas regarding blood and the body changed from late medieval times to the eighteenth century can provide new insights about patterns of social and religious tensions, such as the witch-trials and persecutions. In this regard the thesis engages with anthropological theories, comparing the dialectic between blood and body with that between identity and society, demonstrating that they both spread from the conflict of life with death, leading to the social embodiment or to the rejection of an individual. A comparative approach is also employed to analyze blood symbolism in Protestant and Catholic countries, and to discuss how beliefs were influenced by both cultural similarities and religious differences. Combining historical sources, such as witches’ confessions, with appropriate examples from anthropology I also examine a corpus of popular ideas, which resisted to theological and learned notions or slowly merged with them. Blood had different meanings for different sections of society, embodying both the physical struggle for life and the spiritual value of the Christian soul. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 develop the dualism of the fluid in late medieval and early modern ritual murder accusations against Jews, European witchcraft and supernatural beliefs and in the medical and philosophical knowledge, while chapters 5 and 6 focus on blood themes in Protestant England and in Counter-Reformation Italy. Through the examination of blood in these contexts I hope to demonstrate that contrasting feelings, fears and beliefs related to dangerous or extraordinary individuals, such as Jews, witches, and Catholic saints, but also superhuman beings such as fairies, vampires and werewolves, were rooted in the perception of the body as an unstable substance, that was at the base of ethnic, religious and gender stereotypes.
