The Femininity Puzzle
Gender, Orientalism and the »Jewish Other«
Seiten
In the Hobsbawmian long 19th century, gender and processes of sexualization and feminization have been crucial in the construction of the »Jewish Other«. Ulrike Brunotte explores how these processes came about by addressing imaginative, aesthetic, and epistemological questions. She analyzes how literature, psychoanalysis and the performing arts traverse and react to the ambivalence of racialized stereotypes. The »femininity puzzle« presents itself in two ways: first in the role of effeminization of the male Jew in antisemitic discourse, and then in the transgressive forms of femininity connected to Jewish women, especially the allosemitic orientalization in the figure of the »Beautiful Jewess«.
Ulrike Brunotte (Prof. Dr.) worked as an associate professor for gender and diversity at Maastricht University (NL) until she retired in October 2021. Her research focuses on the role of gender and sexuality in cultural discourse, Orientalism, theories of performativity, aesthetics of religion, psychoanalysis, and literary studies.
