Gidley, Ben. "Citizenship and belonging : East London Jewish radicals". Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2003. http://research.gold.ac.uk/11852/.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis is about citizenship and belonging: how citizenship has articulated with or against different forms, practices and spaces of belonging. It examines Jewish East London in the period from 1903 to the end of the First World War and is based on original archival research. It argues that this period saw the emergence of a new form of racialized biopolitical citizenship, which was normalized in the "state of emergency" that was the war. This citizenship was framed by the imperial context, was based on singular 1e1it her/or" identities and was defined against the figure of alien. The thesis also argues that, in the same period, an alternative space of political belonging existed in East London, based on different forms of political rationality and threaded through with multiple loyalties and identifications, that challenged the either/or logic of the nation-state. Consequently, Jewish radicals who operated in this alternative public sphere developed understandings of political belonging which cut against the grain of the nation-state, and thus offer resources for thinking about citizenship today. The thesis seeks to unsettle some of the conventional languages of citizenship and political belonging by historicizing them: by concentrating on the specific way in which modern citizenship emerged in imperial Britain, and on the material processes by which this citizenship was policed and mapped. The thesis examines a series of different spaces and scales of political belonging. It attempts to keep in focus regimes of visibility, subjectification and governmentality that produce these spaces and the practices of belonging and cultural traditions that wove through them.

Rein, Howard. "A comparative study of the London German and the London Jewish Hospitals". Thesis, University of Southampton, 2016. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/400480/.
Texto completoResumen
The thesis compares the founding and development of two sectarian hospitals in the East End of London - the London German Hospital in the nineteenth and the London Jewish Hospital in the early twentieth century. They were established to serve the needs of the German and Jewish immigrant communities living in London at these periods. It was the intention to satisfy their religious and cultural requirements, but especially the language problems they faced, as the majority of migrants had little comprehension of the English language and communication with the medical profession was frustrated at the existing voluntary hospitals because diagnostic aids had not yet been fully implemented and a dependence on verbal communication remained of primary importance. It will be shown that although both groups of migrants faced poverty, the supporters of the German Hospital represented the wealthy and the elite in England and on the Continent. It was a time when an affinity existed between British and German cultures, with German philosophy and science celebrated in this country and the founders received virtually no opposition to their venture. The thesis demonstrates how this contrasted with resistance to the founding of the Jewish Hospital eighty years later. The Jewish immigrants struggled to establish their hospital because of the hostility of the indigenous population exemplified by passage of the Aliens Act of 1905 and the opposition of the Jewish elite led by Lord Rothschild who argued that the immigrant Jews should integrate rather than separate. The thesis argues there was a need for the two hospitals, and contrasts their attainment of success despite their social and economic differences. It will show how the arguments have been assembled using information obtained from literature on immigration studies, ethnic and social issues as well as medical history. Research using the newspaper and hospital archives supplemented the study.

Taylor-Guthartz, L. A. "Overlapping worlds : the religious lives of Orthodox Jewish Women in contemporary London". Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2016. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1481812/.
Texto completoResumen
Though the exclusion of contemporary Orthodox Jewish women from active roles in public worship and other central religious activities has been condemned as patriarchal oppression by feminists and lauded as freeing women for sacred domestic duties by Orthodox apologists, little research has been carried out on Orthodox women's religious lives and self-understanding. This study uses participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and monitoring of community email lists and media to document women's religious activities in London; to investigate the constraints that shape these activities; and to examine women's exercise of agency and creativity within these constraints to shape a rich, changing, and sometimes contested set of spiritual opportunities. The study examines four spheres of action, defined by the intersection of two axes: communal-individual arenas and culturally sanctioned-innovative practices. Alongside culturally sanctioned activity such as synagogue attendance and observance of the sexual purity system, innovative and hitherto unknown practices such as berakhah (blessing) parties exist, besides more controversial attempts to participate in public worship, both in women-only services and mixed services (partnership minyanim). The patterns and transmission of women's individual customs are also examined, elucidating their religious significance for women. In addition to recording new practices, the study documents two periods of accelerated change, in the early 1990s and from 2005 onwards. It suggests that Orthodox women may be divided into three permeable groups-haredi (ultra-Orthodox'), identitarian/traditionalist, and Modern Orthodox-and examines the worldviews and innovative techniques displayed by each group. Factors such as education, community pressure, and norms of the non-Jewish community combine with differing group outlooks to give a nuanced explanation of the rich variation within Orthodox women's religious lives. The study provides a basis for cross-communal research into Jewish women's spirituality and models the complex interplay and impact of social and personal factors on religious life.

Law, Lisa. "Towards "cultural competence' from a Jewish perspective : an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of the lived experience of Jewish mothers living in North West London". Thesis, University of East London, 2003. http://roar.uel.ac.uk/3662/.
Texto completoResumen
Much research recognises the clinical value of considering clients' cultural context. 'Cultural competence' may be considered the balance between sensitive practice and an awareness about particular cultural groups. 'Jewishness' is a powerful influence on the majority of Jewish people, regardless of religiosity. Jewishness incorporates more than Judaism, for example, it includes Jewish history, ethnicity and culture. This research aims to help therapists work with Jewish families by familiarising them with aspects of Jewishness, in order to gain insight to the 'lived experience' of contemporary, British, Jewish families, so as to consider the potential clinical implications of Jewishness and develop cultural competence. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight British-born, culturally, rather than religiously, Jewish mothers aged between 30 and 39. The interview transcripts were analysed using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis methodology. Ten themes (^entity', Tradition and Culture', 'Characteristics', 'Family', 'Community', 'Continuity', 'Difference and Similarity', 'Fear', 'Feelings' and 'Services') were derived from the analysis and considered in terms of clinical implications. For example, the women spoke about a (sometimes) inexplicable 'bicultural' identity and the significant impact of Jewish history. These issues may inhibit Jewish clients from speaking about the relevance of their Jewishness with non-Jewish therapists. Suggestions were made for developing a Jewish cultural, historical and political perspective, so that beliefs, behaviours and characteristics are not misinterpreted and 'therapeutic safety' for Jewish clients is maximised. Other recommendations included using cultural consultants and adopting a systemic framework. Issues that may be particularly difficult for Jewish families were discussed and recommendations for future research made.

Texto completoResumen
The East End of London experienced an explosion of its Jewish population, from 35,000 in 1881 to 120,000 in 1910. The majority were poor, of foreign birth, living in overcrowded, sub-standard housing, and engaged in unhealthy occupations. Their arrival brought problems for both the indigenous population and the existing London Jewish community, threatening a crisis which could have overwhelmed the strained general medical services and irreparably damaged the Jewish community. A further problem was the attempt by various missionary societies to provide medical assistance at the cost of religious conversion. The crisis was averted, due to the efforts of the poor themselves and the wealthy established Jews - not always in harmony; and to simultaneous advances being made in public health, medicine, national insurance, and the improving Poor Law facilities. The major triumph of the immigrants, who preferred denominational institutions, was in establishing the London Jewish Hospital after a prolonged bitter battle against Lord Rothschild and many wealthy anglicised Jews, who considered the existing hospitals sufficient and wished to avoid jeopardising concessions already gained for Jews from the London Hospital and other medical centres. London, and the East End in particular, had many medical resources superior to those elsewhere in the country. The East End Jews enjoyed the added advantage of a comprehensive network of Jewish institutions and organisations, of which the Jewish Board of Guardians was foremost, which supplemented the Poor Law and voluntary systems and which had been created and funded largely by the rich of the community. In many areas of medical care Jewish organisations led the way. The initial effect was that the poor East End Jews, and especially their children, enjoyed better health than their non-Jewish neighbours in similar circumstances; but as the anglicisation of the immigrant increased, so the differences narrowed.

Texto completoResumen
Plays representing some aspect of the Holocaust produced in both the commercial and subsidised sectors of the London theatre throughout the Cold War period variously but consistently sought to evade, diminish or inappropriately qualify the cardinal fact that, in the formulation which was the Nazi's own, 'the Final Solution was that 'of the Jewish question in Europe'. Such dramatic distortions hinder perceptions of the identity and fate of the chief victims of the Holocaust. Playwrights', directors', managements', and to a marginally lesser degree, critics' failure to question or challenge these tendencies results not so much in the explicitly stated exoneration of those responsible for the Nazi genocide as the erasure or attenuation of both German guilt and Jewish suffering through dramatic speculation upon the universal human propensity to evil. In consequence the suggestion is made of Jewish agency in, and culpability for, their own fate during the Holocaust. At their most extreme these dramatic tendencies resort to the recurrent themes of anti-Semitic discourse. The ubiquitous dramatic strategies and tropes employed in the productions discussed, rather than succeed in their attempt to find and represent meaning in the respective episodes and events of the Nazi genocide dramatised, frequently re-present this elimination through the evasion, attenuation or erasure, of Jewish fate. The productions register the failure of dramatic art to find equitable metaphor and adequate representational means to provoke reflection of a kind which might transcend the meaningless facticity of mass murder and the impulse to annihilation, and are drawn into those same dynamics of annihilation, evidenced by the erasure of Jewish identity and fate. This phenomenon remains largely, but not entirely, unremarked in the immediate critical response of the British press, but almost wholly neglected in later commentary due to an 'absence of memoy: the lack of a specifically British critical discourse on dramatic representation and the Holocaust.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines Irish and Jewish mothers' experience of maternity provision and infant care services in East London in the years 1870-1939. As newcomers these immigrants not only had to cope with poverty but also the barriers of language and different cultural customs. Leaving their family and kinship networks behind them, Irish and Jewish mothers had to find new sources of support when incapacitated through pregnancy or childbirth. Living in one of the poorest areas of London and unfamiliar with the local medical and welfare services, these immigrants might be expected to have suffered very poor health. On closer examination, however, Irish and Jewish immigrants appear to have had remarkably low rates of infant and maternal mortality. Despite the difficulties they faced as newcomers, Irish and Jewish mothers had certain advantages over the local population in East London. They were not only able to rely on the prolific and diverse services already present in East London, but could also call upon their own communal organisations. This provision offered a wide range of care and was a vital support to the newcomers. After examining the social and economic background to Irish and Jewish emigration and settlement the thesis examines what impact this had on their health patterns, particularly infant and maternal mortality. The following chapters explore what forms of support were available to married Irish and Jewish mothers through their own family and local neighbourhood and communal agencies. Chapter five concerns the unmarried mother and what provision was made specifically for her. The care offered by the host society to immigrant mothers and their infants is explored in chapters 6 to 8. Institutions covered by these chapters include voluntary hospitals, Poor Law infirmaries, and charitable organisations such as district nursing associations and medical missions. The thesis examines not only the services available to Irish and Jewish mothers, but also the attitudes of health professionals and philanthropists towards immigrants and how these affected the accessibility and acceptability of maternity and infant welfare services to Irish and East European Jewish mothers.

Texto completoResumen
Dans cette thèse, nous étudions la relation entre la population juive et l'espace urbain de Londres comme forme de territorialisation d'une communauté en milieu urbain. Notre objet de recherche est d'une part la manière dont les représentations et les projets d'un groupe investissent l'espace urbain en l'investissant de signification et en modelant la géographie du groupe. De l'autre, on étudie l'interaction entre ces représentations et ces projets produits par le groupe et ceux produit par la société plus vaste - en relation à l'espace urbain tout comme à la place des groupes ethnoreligieux dans cet espace. A cette fin, en introduisant la géographie talmudique de l'érouv et ses effets sur les pratiques des juifs qui les observent, on analyse tout d'abord ! 'évolution de la distribution de la population juive dans Je Grand Londres, du début du siècle XXème jusqu'à l'époque contemporaine, en soulignant la relation entre besoin rituels et équipements communautaires. Ensuite, on démontre Je processus de territorialisation de la communauté juive dans le nord-ouest de la ville et les effets de la création dans la municipalité de Barnet d'un nouvel équipement rituel, l' « érouv », au sein d'un grand débat public sur le rôle des communautés dans l'espace urbain. Cette étude souhaite apporter un regard sur les principales questions contemporaines autour des communautés ethnoreligieuses dans les villes européennes, à savoir la concentration résidentielle, le retour du religieux comme facteur important dans l'orientation des identités et l'apport des politiques envers les communautés, ainsi que la signification religieuse de l'espace publicThis thesis explores the relation between the London Jewish population and urban space as a form of community territorialisation. The research aims to bring together two completing perspectives. Firstly, how cultural representations and projects of a group signify the urban space and affect its social geography. And secondly, the interaction between those representations and projects produced by a group and the representations of the urban space and the place of ethno-religious groups in it produced by the larger society. Having introduced the Talmudic geography based on the ritual time of Shabbat, the text analyses the evolving geography of Jewish presence in London. The shift from an initial concentration in the East End at the tum of the 201h century to the current settlement in North West London shows the relationship between ritual needs, community facilities and Jewish concentrations. The text demonstrates the distinctiveness of the Jewish population's dynamic in urban space, which seems to be a unique case among the contemporary London ethnic and religious groups, an example of Ceri Peach 's positive segregation rather than a ghetto. The text subsequently explores the creation in the 1990s of a new facility, the North West London Eruv, aimed at a local Jewish community. This project is analysed for the debate it raised about its potential demographic implications and the right of communities to religiously signify urban (public) space in a multicultural society

A persistent focus on the activities and achievements of the
wealthiest and most Orthodox Jewish men, justified a rigorous reevaluation
of overlooked historical source material in order to provide
a basis for our understanding the distinctive role of Jewish women
within the interconnected British cities of London and Sydney in the
second half of the nineteenth century. The chapters are divided into
subsections that focus on topics that were significant to Jewish
women and girls. The experiences and thoughts of the wealthiest and
most influential Jewish women, including women from the de
Rothschild and Montefiore families, are presented aside the poorest
and most disempowered Jewish females, such as girls, widows and
orphans in order to present the widest range of perspectives. The
dissertation begins by exploring Jewish women's involvement in the
politics related to Jewish emancipation and women's enfranchisement,
and the way that Jewish migration into London promoted changes to
their social and religious networks and sparked interest in Australia
as a destination for Jewish colonists. This provides a basis for
understanding the nuances of British-Jewish women's role within the
family and the way a preference for smaller families intersected with
religious reforms and altered women's attitude toward attending the
mikvah and following the laws of Niddah. The dissertation also
investigates the distinctive culinary traditions and holiday
observances of British-Jewish women, which varied somewhat from
American and European women's traditions, as did their role in the
synagogue. The educational achievement, employment opportunities,
and the contributions of Jewish women as they volunteered in Jewish
settings within Sydney and London are explored. These subjects
enhance our understanding of women's daily lives and their desire for
equality not only with Jewish men, but also with their non-Jewish
neighbors. This dissertation provides a basis for future scholars to include the experiences of English and Australian Jewish women in
trans-regional and cross-cultural histories and broadens our
knowledge of female migrants from a numerically small religious
group.

Lake, Carolyn Louise. "'Passionately subjective': challenges to identity in the works of Amy Levy". Thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/98260.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis is a study of the work of Amy Levy, poet, novelist and essay writer who came to prominence in the 1880s and whose life was cut short by suicide in 1889. As a Jewish woman with literary and professional aspirations and with no apparent desire to marry, Levy’s life challenged contemporary notions of gender, religion, race, and sexuality. She produced three novels, three collections of poetry, and numerous short stories and essays. I analyse Levy’s works as literary products, literary criticisms, and as genealogies of late-Victorian identities. Levy’s scholarly and creative writings reflect a keen awareness of literary and cultural movements, often prefiguring discussions regarding feminism and modernism which would not take place until after her death. I argue that her textual productions analyse the power relations at play in 1880s Britain: what actions and, indeed, subjects, are made possible and impossible by the contemporary field of representation. Levy’s apparent interests in literary traditions and debates, genre, poetic convention and the representation of marginal lives and experiences all concern the intersections between discourse, power, and knowledge. I begin with an examination of gender, class, and space, particularly public or semi-public space, in Levy’s work. Her first novel, The Romance of a Shop, critiques conventional femininity through its inverse relationship between class and spatial mobility for its female characters. This is read alongside the 1888 article, ‘Women and Club Life’. I then consider, with reference also to George Gissing’s The Odd Women, how shifts in class and spatial mobility influence the trajectory of the romance plot. Finally, this chapter considers a range of Levy’s lyric poetry, predominately from A London-Plane Tree and Other Verse, showing how the modern city and street are celebrated spaces, where the boundaries of identity can, if temporarily, be transcended. Next, I go back to Levy’s childhood and adolescence, reading a series of letters written by Levy to her sister Katie Levy and others. I read these letters queerly, resisting the imposition of assumed heterosexuality. Together with a selection of what I call Levy’s “queer poetry”, I argue that these are representations of same-sex desire. Building upon the models of identity formulated in Chapter One, I argue that Levy’s representations of subjectivity are markedly queer: they refuse stability, escape recognition, and find fullest articulation in transience. The final chapter considers Levy’s most complex novel, Reuben Sachs: A Sketch. I examine its representations of Jewishness and gender and, importantly, its techniques of representation, revealing the novel’s self-reflexivity. I show, together with Levy’s writings in The Jewish Chronicle and elsewhere, that Levy actively writes back to a history of Jewish literary representation. Finally, reading the short story ‘Cohen of Trinity’, I observe Levy’s most tragic representation of marginal identity and how representation and associated mis/recognition shape subjectivity. Amy Levy’s work critically engages with the creation of identities and subjectivities, anticipating the disruptive cultural politics more commonly associated with the 1890s.Thesis (M.Phil.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 2016.
