For example, while TV’s Mrs. Maisel is ostensibly a Jew, the actor playing her is not, and Mrs. Maisel’s actions are not always Jewish. In The Fractured Jew Joel West separates Judaism into phenomenological and performative, starting with popular portrayals of Jews and Judaism, in today’s media, as a jumping-off point to understand Judaism and Jewishness, not from the outside, but from the emic, internal, Jewish point of view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements   What This Book Is Not  Abstract  Keywords   Introduction   1 Who or What Is a Jew?   2 A Fractured Framework: Trauma, Identity, Ethnicity   3 Diachronic Denominationally Jewish   4 North American Semiotics: Jew, Jewish or Judaism as a Sign   5 North American Jews: Alienations   6 North American Jews: Denominations as History   7 Preforming Jew, Jewish, Judaism   8 The Jew Is a Joke—Internalized Antisemitism   Conclusion   References   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210839679319,"sku":"9789004510128","price":71.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-fractured-jew-an-exploration-of-modern-jewish-ontology-via-identities-in-popular-culture-9789004510128","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
