Reading Ray: Avant-Garde and Transnationalism in Interwar Britain
The British modernist little magazine Ray: Art Miscellany (1926–1927) pioneered the combination of text and image in the vein of the Continental avant-gardes. Amid the surge of interest in periodicals within modernist studies, Ray has managed to escape broader attention. Its editor, Sidney Hunt, was an enigmatic figure and the magazine itself also eludes categorization, as it did not conform to the standards of English modernism, which were in th…
An Other Transnationalism: Romanian Jewish Emigrants in Francophone Avant-Garde Literature
The Romanian-born Jewish poet Ilarie Voronca declared in the surrealist review unu that ‘of all NATIONS I choose imagi-NATION’.1 By 1928 he was already disappointed with the growing nationalism of his native country, intrigued by the artistic avant-garde, and had had his first taste of French cultural life.

The Avant-Garde Sprachkritik of Paul Hatvani: Mysticism, Eroticism, and Heterodox Religious Experience
The works of the Austrian-Jewish author and theorist Paul Hatvani (1892–1975) have often been overlooked, but his Nachlaß suggests that he was a significant figure in the Wiener Moderne literary circles.

Hatvani’s Sprachkritik distinguishes scientific and phil…
Remaking the Present Through Language: Messianic Time in the Works of Yvan Goll and Isidore Isou Contra Benjamin and Agamben
This essay studies kabbalistic themes addressing temporality in Yvan Goll's and Isidore Isou's poetry, which are evident via the idea of messianic time. It evokes Jewish messianism that promotes a continuous anticipation of the Messiah: the original unity with God (creation) is to be restored by the advent of the Messiah (redemption). However, time infinitely expands between these points, as the Messiah is always yet to arrive. Messianic time is …
Not Yet: Three Modern Jewish Meontologies
Rien, c’est ce qu’il faut: supporter l’insupportable rien. Maurice Blanchot Subjectivity is undoubtedly a central area of philosophical investigation. In 1984 Emmanuel Levinas (1906–95) described h
All for nothing
We should differentiate the nothing from that which is worthless (nul) - by maintaining the idea that what is worthless is precisely that which has forgotten the nothing. Baudrillard Alice: “I see
