Zusammenfassung: | An encyclopedic survey of the Jewish body as it has existed and as it has been imagined from biblical times to the presentThat the human body can be the object not only of biological study but also of historical consideration and cultural criticism is now widely accepted. But why, Robert Jütte asks, should a historian bother with the Jewish body in particular? And is the "Jewish body" as much a concept constructed over the course of centuries by Jews and non-Jews alike as it is a physical reality? To comprehend the notion and existence of a Jewish body, he contends, one needs to look both at the images and traits that have been ascribed to Jews by themselves and others, and to the specific bodily practices that have played an important role in creating the identity of a religious and cultural community.Jütte has written an encyclopedic survey of the Jewish body as it has existed and as it has been imagined from biblical times to the present, often for anti-Jewish purposes. He examines the techniques for caring for the body that Jews acquire in childhood from parents and authority figures and how these have changed over the course of a more than 2000-year history, most of it spent in exile. From consideration of traditional body stereotypes, such as the so-called Jewish nose, to matters of gender and sexuality, sickness and health, and the inevitable end of the body in death, The Jewish Body explores the historical foundations of the human physis in all its aspects |

But why, Robert Jütte asks, should a historian bother with the Jewish body in particular? And is the "Jewish body" as much a concept constructed over the course of centuries by Jews and non-Jews alike as it is a physical reality? To comprehend the notion and existence of a Jewish body, he contends, one needs to look both at the images and traits that have been ascribed to Jews by themselves and others, and to the specific bodily practices that have played an important role in creating the identity of a religious and cultural community.Jütte has written an encyclopedic survey of the Jewish body as it has existed and as it has been imagined from biblical times to the present, often for anti-Jewish purposes. He examines the techniques for caring for the body that Jews acquire in childhood from parents and authority figures and how these have changed over the course of a more than 2000-year history, most of it spent in exile. From consideration of traditional body stereotypes, such as the so-called Jewish nose, to matters of gender and sexuality, sickness and health, and the inevitable end of the body in death, The Jewish Body explores the historical foundations of the human physis in all its aspects Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Jewish Studies Religion RELIGION / Judaism / General bisacsh Fremdbild (DE-588)4127240-7 gnd rswk-swf Judentum (DE-588)4114087-4 gnd rswk-swf Selbstbild (DE-588)4077349-8 gnd rswk-swf Körper (DE-588)4031575-7 gnd rswk-swf Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 gnd rswk-swf Leiblichkeit (DE-588)4114388-7 gnd rswk-swf Judentum (DE-588)4114087-4 s Leiblichkeit (DE-588)4114388-7 s Körper (DE-588)4031575-7 s Fremdbild (DE-588)4127240-7 s Selbstbild (DE-588)4077349-8 s Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 s Geschichte z DE-604 Bredeck, Elizabeth trl Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-8122-5265-1 https://doi.org/10.9783/9780812297652 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
