Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This original collection of essays written by scholars and poets explores the life and work of Hyam Plutzik (1911-1962), whose poetry came to fruition at a time of cultural change set against the historical rupture of the Holocaust and World War II. The chapters in this volume explore in depth the influence of both modernist poetics and American Jewish identity on Plutzik's richly figured poetry. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants who arrived in the United States during the third great wave of Jewish immigration, Plutzik's poetic milieu is inflected with the linguistic mosaic of his cultural inheritance. With close focus on his most significant work, the individual chapters bring to light complicated issues of Jewish American ethnicity and identity in twentieth-century American cultural studies. This collection speaks to the legacy of this poet whose work continues to have relevance for Jewish literary studies and poetics.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'If the Holocaust, as image and symbol, seems to have sprung loose from its origins, it does not mean we should decry Americanization; rather, the pervasive presence of representations of the Holocaust in our culture demands responsible evaluation and interpretation.'--from the IntroductionThe Holocaust is everywhere in American cultural consciousness today--in movies, books, theater, and television, in college courses, museums, and public monuments. In The Americanization of the Holocaust, Hilene Flanzbaum presents a collection of essays on America's cultural appropriation of this central event in twentieth-century history. The authors discuss a broad range of topics and examples, from Schindler's List to Elie Wiesel's throwing out the first pitch at the Mets season opener in 1988, from the idealizations of Anne Frank to a cookbook of recipes from survivors of the Terezin concentration camp, from a look at Art Spiegelman's acclaimed comic book Maus to a contemporary faux pas at the Nike Corporation. While several authors draw directly from the testimony of survivors, the volume as a whole examines how much of our knowledge of the Holocaust comes to us through cultural filters--from editors and publishers, producers and directors, artists and advertising executives. Covering the more than fifty years since the end of the Holocaust, this rich and comprehensive overview spans a wide variety of critical approaches, media, and genres.…
