Mann, Barbara E.
Space and Place in Jewish Studies [electronic resource]. - Piscataway : Rutgers University Press, 2012. - 1 online resource (213 p.)
Foreword; Acknowledgments; Introduction; PART I; 1 Makom; 2 The Garden; 3 Jerusalem; 4 The Land; PART II; 5 Bayit; 6 Diasporas; 7 The City; PART III; 8 Eruv; 1489 Environment; Notes; Index.
Space and Place in Jewish Studies embraces how notions of & ldquo;Jewish space, & rdquo; diaspora, and home continue to resonate within contemporary discourse, bringing space to the foreground as a practical and analytical category. Barbara Mann takes us on a journey from medieval Levantine trade routes to the Eastern European shtetl to the streets of contemporary New York, introducing readers to the variety of ways in which Jews have historically formed communities and created a sense of place for themselves. Combining cutting-edge theory with rabbinics, anthropology, and literary analysis, Mann.
