Book condition : as new. - Based on varied, cross-disciplinary readings, this text argues that the Jewish experience with being the other and, conversely and recently, with othering is indeed relevant to theorists of contemporary culture. Taking Walter Benjamin's famous image of the Angel of History blown into the future by a storm from paradise as his point of departure, Boyarin launches an examination of the role of memory in the study of knowledge, culture and power; the complicated relationship between space and time in the constitution of memory and identity; and the dynamics of othering in 20th-century culture within the context of a long tradition of Jewish writings on the subject.
