In Exile
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-15425-4 (ISBN)
Analysing key Jewish intellectual figures such as Walter Benjamin, Isaiah Berlin and Hannah Arendt, Dubow presents exile as a form of thought and action and reconsiders attachments of identity, history, time, and territory. In her unique combination of geography, philosophy and some of the key themes in Judaic thought, she has constructed more than a study of interdisciplinary fluidity. She delivers a striking case for understanding the critical imagination in spatial terms and traces this back to a fundamental – if forgotten – exilic pull at the heart of Judaic thought.
Jessica Dubow is Reader in Cultural Geography at the University of Sheffield, UK. She is an interdisciplinary scholar and the author of Settling the Self: Colonial Space, Colonial Identity and the South African Landscape (2009). She has also published in numerous leading journals including: Critical Inquiry, New German Critique, Art History, The Journal of Visual Culture, Comparative Literature and Parallax .
