• W248669144 abstract "Heart Is a Mirror: Sephardic Folktale. By Tamar Alexander-Frizer. (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2008. Pp. xiv + 690, preface, acknowledgments, photographs, notes, bibliography, name index, subject index. $65.00, cloth.)Tamar Alexander-Frizer's Heart Is a Mirror: Sephardic Folktale (originally published in Hebrew in 1999 as Beloved Friend-and-a-Half: Studies in Sephardic Folk Literature) , adds another remarkable volume to today's flourishing production of landmark works on Jewish folk literature. I am thinking especially of Eli YassiFs Hebrew Folktale: History, Genre, Meaning (1999) and Dan Ben-Amos and Dov Noy's five-volume series, collectively entitled Folktales of the Jews (2006-) . Heart Is a Mirror, however, is not redundant in the context of these other recent works; it complements radier than competes with them.Although the tales (usually paraphrased or summarized) are embedded in her book, Alexander-Frizer's volume is an analysis, not a collection. This makes her work ambitious and bold as she strives to explain a parucular ethnic group's values and thinking through die totality of its folk narrative repertoire. That group, the Sephardim, is a Jewish sub-group with deep roots in the Iberian peninsula, where a major, enduring Jewish culture developed from Roman times to 1497. Following die expulsions from Spain (1492) and Portugal (1497), Sephardic culture became ever more diverse and layered during long sojourns in the Ottoman Empire (including the Balkans), north and central Italy, North Africa, and Jerusalem, yet unified by a common folk language (Ladino) and shared cultural roots in Iberia.Alexander-Frizer's material is extensive: over four-thousand Sephardic tales. Roughly half of these came from written sources and half from the Israeli Folktale Archives (IFA) and her own extensive fieldwork (five hundred tales). written sources include contemporary popular collections and anthologies (published in Hebrew and Ladino), as well as traditional literary works commonly found in Sephardic households, like Me'am Lo'ez, an important To rah commentary written in Ladino.There are three main sections to Alexander-Frizer's book. first, The Characteristics of Ethnic Identity, stays close to the tales, describing and delineating Sephardic identity and character. second part, Literary Genres, which analyzes the corpus comprehensively, is the heart of the book and moves systematically through the major folk narrative genres. last part, The Art of Storytelling, shifts the paradigm from genre to performance, examining several different live performances in detail. In this last section Alexander-Frizer's relationships to her informants are described as an essential part of the performance context. This reflective, personal mood carries into the epilogue, Gaps and Bridges between Researcher and Storyteller. Here the author discusses, and ably defends, being a member of the community she studies.Some surprising characteristics of Sephardic folk literature emerge. It is striking, for instance, that the poet Yehuda Halevi (eleventh through twelfth century Spain) is an important figure in Jewish culture, but he is not popular in tales. …" @default.
