Embodied Differences: The Jew's Body and Materiality in Russian Literature and Culture

by Henrietta Mondry

This book analyzes the ways in which literary works and cultural discourses employ the construct of the Jew's body in relation to the material world, either to establish or to subvert dominant cultural norms and stereotypes. It argues that materiality also embodies fictional constructions that should be approached as a material-semiotic interface.
