Michigan Studies in Comparative Jewish Cultures

Michigan Studies in Comparative Jewish Cultures

Michigan Studies in Comparative Jewish Cultures will emphasize the dynamic interplay of Jews as historical subjects, Judaism as faith and practice, and Jewishness as a repertoire of cultural practices with other peoples and cultures. It will address a wide range of cultural forms, including art and theater, music and film, in relation to literature and history. It will pay attention to asymmetrical social arrangements often characteristic of Jewish life, global political forces, and hegemonic textual practices. The volumes it publishes will further multiculturalism in Jewish studies even as it provides interconnected frames of reference. New arenas of scholarship, such as translation studies and diaspora studies, hold much promise as part of this series. We expect that the series will encourage consideration of intercultural contact, translation practices, and multiethnic networks emphasizing circulation of ideas, peoples, economies and languages.
