Anti-Semitism at the Limit
Anti-Semitism at the Limit
In this book, Benjamin Strosberg explores difficulties and anxieties inherent in studying, defining, and defending against anti-Semitism by tracing a concurrent difficulty in thinking about Jewishness, which has historically served as a limit case for central social categories such as outsider, religion, race, gender, and nation. Dr. Strosberg draws on Zygmunt Baumans concept of proteophobiathe anxious fear of what doesnt fit into clear-cut categoriesto think more carefully about anti-Semitism as response to the complex-realities of ambivalence and otherness. The book proposes negative psychology as a methodology for studying anti-Semitism and proteophobia rooted in psychoanalysis and Theodor Adornos Critical Theory. Drawing from lived experiences, contemporary events, and debates in the field, this compelling work explores the broad implications of the investigation of anti-Semitism for politics, education, and psychoanalysis, as well as the specific implications for Jewish identity and resistance.
