دانلود کتاب Jewish Topographies (Heritage, Culture and Identity)

Time and place play the central role in our understanding of Jewish civilisation, while place and space seem to be secondary categories at best. Jewish places are most commonly perceived to be either religious sites or sites of remebrance: extinguished places whose reality is preserved in the imaginations of the survivors or places where people reflect on murder and destruction. However, Jewish places have been and still are not limited to 'lieux de memoire' but also include 'lieux d'espoire' and lived spaces.This interdisciplinary anthology focuses on the manifold approaches to the perception and experience of Jewish places and hence sheds new light on the diverse processes of Jewish place-making. Grounding a range of global case studies from past and present within a theoretical framework of the 'spatial turn', it explores innovative metholodological approaches that help to map Jewish topographies, thereby offering a fascinating new perspective on Jewish places in their diversity and multi-dimensionality.
