A History of Modern Hebrew Literature
This book is a new and comprehensive history of modern Hebrew literature that revitalizes older histories while integrating contemporary theories on literature, culture, identity, and canon formation. The collection aims to deterritorialize this history by emphasizing the broad geographic spread of Hebrew literary activity, encompassing developments before and beyond the State of Israel. By expanding the scope of representation, this updated hist…
Thinking with an Accent
Thinking with an Accent casts accent as a powerfully coded yet underexplored mode of perception shaping our global cultural economy. Theorizing accent as a mediatized object, an interdisciplinary method, and an embodied practice, this volume invites readers to think with an accent-to practice a dialogical, multisensorial inquiry that can yield transformative modalities of knowledge, action, and care

Temporalities of Israel/Palestine
This article charts a relational history of Palestinian and Israeli temporalities. Probing the interplay of political and cultural discourses, I show how while literature and film are indices of the temporal views that inform political action, they also work to expand those views. What are the key temporal concepts of Zionism and Palestinian thought, and how have they been negotiated in literary and cinematic works from the 1940s to the present? …
A Non-Universal Global
In our introduction to this special issue of Prooftexts , we continue our collaborative investigation of the multifacted relationship between Jewish literature and world literature, critiquing the dominant scholarly paradigms informing each of these two discourses. We argue that the decentered model of Jewish literatures exposes the limits of a world literature model defined through literary competition and exchange between nations, where "the wo…

Jewish Literature / World Literature
In the past two decades, scholars of world literature and transnational literary studies have called for an overhaul of the national literature model, in favor of a model based on literature's movement beyond national boundaries. Yet across the spectrum of approaches, scholarship on world literature has focused on the languages of the metropolitan center while largely overlooking the literary cultures of the so-called peripheries. We examine Jewi…
Poetic Trespass
A Palestinian-Israeli poet declares a new state whose language, “Homelandic,” is a combination of Arabic and Hebrew. A Jewish-Israeli author imagines a “language plague” that infects young Hebrew speakers with old world accents, and sends the narrator in search of his Arabic heritage. This book brings together such startling visions to offer the first in-depth study of the relationship between Hebrew and Arabic in the literature and culture of Is…

The Nahḍa and the Haskala
This article compares the modern Hebrew and Arabic ‘renaissance’ movements (the haskala and the nahḍa) to argue that the nahḍa can and should be studied comparatively, and to illustrate some of the insights gained through a comparative reading of non-Western cultural modernity. Much as the nahḍa is often read as the formative moment of modern Arab identity, the haskala is viewed as the originary moment of Jewish modernity. Comparative analysis sh…
