Publication Date: 08/09/2023
Spanning the fields of literature, history, philosophy, and theology, Unsettling Jewish Knowledge adopts a fresh approach to the study of Jewish thought and culture. By creatively foregrounding the role of emotions, senses, and the imagination in Jewish experience, Unsettling Jewish Knowledge invites readers to consider what it means for Jewish identity and experience to be constituted outside the frameworks of reasoned thought and inquiry. The collection's bold interpretations of Jewish texts and histories are centered on questions of faith, loss, prejudice, and enchantment-and the darker implications of these questions. Unsettling Jewish Knowledge challenges us to grapple with the unexpected, the unconventional, and even the uncomfortable aspects of Jewish experience and its representations.
