TY - BOOK AU - West, Joel PY - 2022 DA - 2022// TI - fractured Jew: an exploration of modern Jewish ontology via identities in popular culture T3 - Popular culture PB - Brill CY - Leiden KW - Religion KW - Jews KW - History AB - Historically Judaism has been called both a nation and a religion, yet there are those Jews who eschew the religious and national definitions for a cultural one. For example, while TV’s Mrs. Maisel is ostensibly a Jew, the actor playing her is not, and Mrs. Maisel’s actions are not always Jewish. In The Fractured Jew Joel West separates Judaism into phenomenological and performative, starting with popular portrayals of Jews and Judaism, in today’s media, as a jumping-off point to understand Judaism and Jewishness, not from the outside, but from the emic, internal, Jewish point of view SN - 9789004510135 UR - https://brill.com/abstract/title/61849 UR - https://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9789004510128.pdf UR - https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004510135 DO - 10.1163/9789004510135 LA - English N1 - by Joel West ID - 1807193489 ER -
