Recenzii
After reading Jews and Shoes, one will no longer view that essential part of the wardrobe as a mere item of necessity.
This highly original volume makes itself indispensable as much through the extraordinary range of perspectives as through the lucidity and insights of the individual papers. It highlights how an appreciation of biblical roots and later religious commentary gives us an understanding of later folklore, theatrical and literary creativity, and ultimately contemporary politics.
Moving with ease from the sacred to the profane, from canonical works to the realm of public culture, from social to cultural history, Jews and Shoes invests great significance to what might seem at first blush to be utterly ordinary. No one, after reading this book, will however think of shoes as just 'being there.' Nahshon's Jewish shoes shows how everything has a history worth analyzing and reading about.
Jews and Shoes is a remarkable and wonderful offbeat collection of pieces on shoes (or the lack of them) from Moses' refusal to wear them to Ernst Lubitsch's evocation of WWI Berlin's Jewish world of shoe selling. A wild mix of cultural history (Barbara Kirschenblatt-Gimlett and her father Mayer's images of shoe making), anthropology (Rivka Parciack on Jewish tombstones in the shape of shoes), and literary study (Andrew Ingall on Bruno Schulz), this is a great book of everyone who wears shoes, is Jewish or is Jewish and wears shoes.
From ancient biblical references, to contemporary Jewish law, the book takes the reader on a journey that highlights the religious, social and political significance of footwear in Jewish life.
I, too, was amazed at how this "footnote" of a topic yielded so much as a survey for the Semites.
A fascinating new book provides a shoe and tell of the many connections between footwear and the Jewish people.
I found the essays engaging and, at times, absolutely fascinating ... I applaud the volume, especially its creativity and new insights, as a lively contribution to Jewish studies. Try it on for size. I did, and it was a wonderful, delightful stroll.
This book provides valuable lenses through which to examine the shoe in Jewish cultural and religious history: as the social biography of an ever-present object, as an historic examination of Jews in society, as a themed sampling of significant Jewish literary and artistic expressions, and as a material entrée into worlds of immateriality. Nashon moves the reader through cultural histories, disparate lands, and artistic imaginations to track the footprints that Jews have made on the history of the shoe.
