What do Heinrich Heine, Sholem Aleichem, Theodor Herzl, Vladimir Jabotinsky, Isaac Babel, Walter Benjamin, Ilya Ehrenburg, Leah Goldberg and Antoni Słonimski all have in common?
These Jewish writers all wrote feuilletons: entertaining essays, sketches, satires and stories that appeared “below the line” in newspapers. The feuilleton was a key site for discussions of national character, portraits of urban life, and cultural and aesthetic innovation and experimentation. This conference will explore feuilletons in many different languages and their connections to modern Jewish cultures.
