    Antizionisme

    Een Joodse geschiedenis

    In Antizionisme. Een Joodse geschiedenis onthult Benjamin Moser een onderdrukte traditie die het Joodse denken generaties lang heeft gevormd. Aan de hand van kunstenaars, rabbijnen, dichters, advocaten, activisten, journalisten en politici schetst Moser een lijn van Joodse dissidenten die – vaak met ernstige persoonlijke gevolgen – de morele en politieke implicaties van het zionisme onder ogen zagen. Hun levens vormen een meeslepend verhaal dat niet alleen waarschuwt voor een nationalistisch systeem gebaseerd op uitsluiting, maar ook een hardnekkige mythe ontkracht: dat antizionisme gelijk staat aan antisemitisme.

  2. The Passion According to G.H
    1. Clarice , Lispector

    The Passion According to G.H

    One of Elena Ferrante's Top 40 Books by Women G.H., a well-to-do Rio sculptress, enters the room of her maid, which is as clear and white 'as in an insane asylum from which dangerous objects have been removed'. There she sees a cockroach - black, dusty, prehistoric - crawling out of the wardrobe and, panicking, slams the door on it. Her irresistible fascination with the dying insect provokes a spiritual crisis, in which she questions her place in the universe and her very identity, propelling her towards an act of shocking transgression. Clarice Lispector's spare, deeply disturbing yet luminous novel transforms language into something otherworldly, and is one of her most unsettling and compelling works. Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. References to her literary work pervade the music and literature of Brazil and Latin America. She was born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and eventually sailed to Brazil. She published her first novel, Near to the Wildheart in 1943 when she was just twenty-three, and the next year was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. Many felt she had given Brazillian literature a unique voice in the larger context of Portuguese literature. After living variously in Italy, the UK, Switzerland and the US, in 1959, Lispector with her children returned to Brazil where she wrote her most influential novels including The Passion According to G.H. She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel, The Hour of the Star.

  3. Agua Viva
    1. Clarice , Lispector

    Agua Viva

    In Água Viva Clarice Lispector aims to 'capture the present'. Her direct, confessional and unfiltered meditations on everything from life and time to perfume and sleep are strange and hypnotic in their emotional power and have been a huge influence on many artists and writers, including one Brazilian musician who read it one hundred and eleven times. Despite its apparent spontaneity, this is a masterly work of art, which rearranges language and plays in the gaps between reality and fiction.

    Tagtraum und Trunkenheit einer jungen Frau

    Clarice Lispectors eindringliche Kurzgeschichten von Leidenschaft und Wahnsinn'Dieses Mondlicht, das weißer ist als das Gesicht eines Toten, so fern und still, dieses Mondlicht hat die ersten Monster auf der Erde brüllen hören.' Idalina sucht einen Weg zwischen Vernunft und Leidenschaft, Luísa ringt um innere Stärke und Tuda um ein Leben ohne Therapeuten. In ihrer beispiellosen Originalität gleichen Clarice Lispectors Erzählungen flirrenden Träumen von einer geheimnisvollen Welt. Wahnsinn wird zu Weisheit und Angst zu Mut, wenn diese Gigantin der brasilianischen Literatur das Innerste ihrer Figuren - meist Frauen - nach außen kehrt. 'Endlich wird eine der geheimnisvollsten Autorinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts in all ihren schillernden Facetten wiederentdeckt.'

  12. Anti-Zionismus
    1. Benjamin , Moser

    Anti-Zionismus

    Seit es die Idee des Zionismus gibt, gibt es gegen sie Einwände und Warnungen vieler jüdischer Denkerinnen und Denker, wie etwa Hannah Arendt, Nan Goldin oder Avi Shlaim. Sie und viele andere sahen früh die Probleme und Gefahren eines nationalstaatlichen Projektes, wie es die Zionisten in Palästina begründeten - eines Landes, das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts noch mehrheitlich nicht-jüdisch war. Ausgehend von seiner eigenen deutsch-jüdischen Familiengeschichte arbeitet der Pulitzer-Preisträger Benjamin Moser eine tief in der jüdischen Tradition verwurzelte, lange Zeit unterdrückte Denklinie heraus. Darin versammeln sich Gläubige und Atheisten, Reformierte und Orthodoxe. Sie alle eint die Überzeugung: Der Zionismus in seiner jetzigen Ausprägung wird für jüdische und für nichtjüdische Menschen in einer Tragödie enden. Mit ihrem Leben und Werk zeigen diese mutigen Jüdinnen und Juden, dass richtig verstandener Anti-Zionismus das Gegenteil von Antisemitismus ist - nämlich der Versuch, einen Weg aufzuzeigen, wie Juden und Nichtjuden miteinander leben können.
