 | Orientalism and the Figure of the Jew Subjects: Orientalism -- Germany -- History; Orientalism; Germany -- Intellectual life; Philosophy German; Jews -- Public opinion; Public opinion -- Germany; Jews in literature; Orientalism in literature; East and West; This book demonstrates the inextricable entanglement of Orientalism and anti-Judaism in modern German letters. It shows how historicist narratives posit the Orient as fetish in lieu of absent origins, then appropriate this fetish by applying to the East-West relation the Christian supercessionist typology earlier developed to construe the Jewish-Christian relation.
