Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, volume 1, x + 246 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. --- Nexus 1 inaugurates a pioneering series that redefines the terrain of German Jewish Studies through theoretically ambitious, interdisciplinary, and media-conscious essays. Emerging from the collaborative momentum of the German Jewish Studies Workshop, this volume's tripartite structure - spanning theory, literary history, and public culture - responds to a vital need for a dynamic forum beyond existing publications like the Leo Baeck Yearbook. With contributions from leading voices in the field, Nexus reflects the post-émigré moment of scholarship: digital, transnational, embodied, and self-reflectively interdisciplinary. The first section, "Theoretical Approaches to the Field," sets the tone. Todd Presner's essay in digital humanities urges scholars to rethink Jewish hermeneutics through digital textuality and platforms - a timely intervention in media studies and cultural memory. Lisa Silverman's "Beyond Antisemitism" shifts the discourse from pathology to power, offering a gender-studies-inspired reframing of cultural history. Katja Garloff and Sander Gilman each engage with emotional, affective tropes - unrequited love and happiness as a 'Jewish question' - drawing on psychoanalysis and cultural theory to expose deeper narrative structures in German-Jewish relations. In the second section, literary-historical essays deliver rich microhistories. Jeffrey Grossman's exploration of Bildung through Heine and Auerbach dialogues with post-Enlightenment German literary criticism. Elizabeth Loentz's recovery of Clementine Krämer bridges feminist recovery projects and regionalism studies. David Suchoff's essay on Kafka as a Hebrew writer intersects with Jewish linguistic politics and diasporic modernism. Nicola Behrmann and Agnes Mueller, in turn, address memory and trauma in literary form, invoking Walter Benjamin, Dadaism, and postwar reckoning. The third section addresses performance, memory, and institutional critique. Juliette Brungs reads Tanya Ury's video art as a feminist continuation of embodied memory politics. Jennifer Hansen-Glucklich and Michael G. Levine scrutinise Holocaust memorial practices and post-victim subjectivities in German film, aligning with current debates in museum studies, affect theory, and trauma studies. Together, these essays position Nexus as both a methodological touchstone and a pedagogical resource, perfect for scholars of memory, diaspora, aesthetics, and cultural theory. It marks a generational shift in German Jewish Studies: post-canonical, intersectional, and digitally attuned. -- Contents: Introduction - William Collins Donahue and Martha B.
