- W121567362 abstract "The western imaginary often associates modernity with the Enlightenment period of the eighteenth century because of its emphasis on the separation of church and state. The efforts to secularize the nations in the name of social progress resulted in a movement that institutionalized the exclusion of marginalized communities. In essence, in its objective to absorb the other into the same, the Enlightenment period perpetuated the very model it attempted to break. Representations of ‘the Jew’ that had been present in cultural productions as well as socio political discussions as far back as medieval times, evolved to adhere to modern preoccupations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As a result, as nations grappled with communities that were marginal from within, the figure of ‘the Jew’ and the “Jewish question” emerged in discourses, intertwining the figure of ‘the Jew’ with modernity in Europe. This study examines how the images and associations that were written to identify ‘the Jew’ and establish difference had already traveled across the Atlantic to the Americas as far back as the fifteenth century and emerged in cultural productions throughout Latin American texts, establishing a relationship between modernity and ‘the Jew’ long before the Enlightenment period in Europe. Through textual analyses of narratives from Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Spain that were all published as of the second half of the twentieth century, this study examines the narrative function of ‘the Jew’ as a vehicle to address national issues of modernity, identity, national history and crisis. The chapters address traditional representations of the “Jewish body” and demeanor in order to examine the way in which recent texts write this figure in modern narratives. The study considers ‘the Jew’ as a “spectral operator” in these narratives, for they revisit historical contexts such as the Inquisition and the white slave trade of the nineteenth century in order to problematize long held notions of ‘the Jew’ and the representations of “Jewishness” in the Latin American scape." @default.
