- Title
RE-'FEMMINISING' DIASPORA: CONTEMPORARY JEWISH CULTURAL STUDIES AND POST-ZIONISM.
- Authors
Docker, John
- Abstract
This essay creates a conversation between diaspora theory, the New Jewish Cultural Studies, post-Zionism, and colonialism. In this conversation, I focus on Jonathan Boyarin and Daniel Boyarin's Powers of Diaspora (2002), new thinking about Josephus, the myth of Masada, and rabbinic Judaism in antiquity, and on Ephraim Nimni's collection The Challenge of Post-Zionism (2003). The essay discusses the question of gender in Zionist mythology. It also probes the question of what internal powers diaspora communities, in multicultural societies, should ideally possess: for example, should Jewish diaspora communities around the world possess internal legal powers?
