In German-Jewish Thought and Its Afterlife, Liska innovatively focuses on the changing form, fate and function of messianism, law, exile, election, remembrance, and the transmission of tradition itself in three different temporal and intellectual frameworks: German-Jewish modernism, postmodernism, and the current period. Highlighting these elements of the Jewish tradition in the works of Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, Gershom Scholem, Hannah Arendt, and Paul Celan, Liska reflects on dialogues and conversations between them and on the reception of their work. She shows how this Jewish dimension of their writings is transformed, but remains significant in the theories of Maurice Blanchot and Jacques Derrida and how it is appropriated, dismissed or denied by some of the most acclaimed thinkers at the turn of the twenty-first century such as Giorgio Agamben, Slavoj Zizek, and Alain Badiou."-- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-198) and index. 505 2 $a Tradition and Transmission -- Law and Narration -- Messianic Language -- Exile, Remembrance, Exemplarity. 650 0 $a Jews $z Germany $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Jews $z Germany $x Civilization. 650 7 $a Jews $x Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983166 650 7 $a Jews $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983287 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 776 08 $i Online version: $a Liska, Vivian, 1956- author. $t German-Jewish thought and its afterlife $d Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 2017 $z 9780253025005 $w (DLC) 2016046902 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170405035857.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F565A1619C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
