Places and Forms of Encounter in Jewish Literatures. Transfer, Mediality and Situativity brings together close readings and contextualizations of Jewish literatures with theories discussed in Comparative and World Literature Studies. The contributions are arranged in five chapters capturing central processes, actors and dynamics in the making of literatures, namely Literary Agents, Literary Figures, Writing Voids, Making of Literatures and Perceiving and Creating Languages. The volume seeks to illuminate the interrelations between literary systems, and to highlight Jewish literatures as a prism for encounters on the levels of text, discourse and culture, and their transformative force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Olaf Terpitz and Marianne Windsperger  PART 1  Literary Agents    1 “Folk-lore”, Modernism and Psychoanalysis in the Work of Isaac Bashevis Singer   Aneta Stepien    2 Georg Brandes and the Transnational Vision   Søren Blak Hjortshøj    PART 2   Literary Figures    3 Autobiography as an Intermediary between Russian and Yiddish Literature    Osip Dymov’s Vos ikh gedenk (Zikhroynes)\/What I remember (Memoirs)   Thomas Mikula    4 Nokhem Shtif and His Berlin Feuilletons   Holger Nath    5 Literary Figures of Encounter and Transformation    Ambivalences of the “Schlemiel,” the “Schelm” and the “Don Quijote”   Olaf Terpitz    PART 3  Writing Voids    6 Narrating the Other, Discovering the Self?   Recuperations of Yugoslav Jewry in Miljenko Jergovic’s Ruta Tannenbaum   Yvonne Zivkovic    7 “There Is No Need for Thriller Novels about Deportation!”    The Postwar Reception and Criticism of the ‘Literature of Experience’ in Hungary     Tamás Kisantal    8 Georges Perec’s Writing Space    Recherche d’espace perdu   Thomas Nolden    PART 4  Making of Literatures    9 Surfaces of Encounter  Modern Hebrew Literature and Its Readers in the Early Twentieth Century   Lilah Nethanel    10 A Kulturnation in Verse     Yiddish and German Folk Poetry Anthologies in the National Jewish Discourse   Carmen Reichert    PART 5  Perceiving and Creating Languages    11 Past Pastries.
