Description
Summary:[...]Welbers positions Lévi-Strauss as the "Sinn-Negierer par excellence" whose anthropological theories build on the methodologies of Talmudic commentary, yet simultaneously reject religion and God at the level of conscious perception (228). Whereas the experiences and theories of prominent Jewish figures are perceived here as critical to the construction of post-war history and time, they are not regarded as constitutive of a Jewish European present or future.Ultimately this volume, which would have benefited from additional copyediting, provides a disjointed sketch of disparate traditions of Jewish writing.
