- This 282pp. monograph demonstrates sustained research effort through a complex argument presented in a lucid, accessible style about the myriad ways in which different narratives illuminate the vexed question of what it means to feel ‘Jewish’, proposing that such a quintessentially ‘diasporic’ sensibility is increasingly common in a globalised world. This longer-form output probes contemporary cultures via in depth, original and critical interventions on guilt, envy, self-hatred, paranoia, mother love, hysteria, and affect. The book was dependent on an extended critical engagement with over 200 printed sources and recordings from different disciplinary contexts/genres, including literary fiction, film, memoir, and psychoanalysis.
