Epilogue
View through CrossRef
The book closes with suggestions for further ways to apply a taytsh paradigm, from reading Yiddish newspaper advertisements to revising conceptualizations of race in Yiddish culture, from a reckoning with the contemporary Hasidic world to examining the afterlives of Yiddish in Israel and Eastern Europe. The epilogue includes a final meditation on how taytsh could be part of a shift in Jewish studies toward comparative theorizations of Jewishness. This final section outlines a proposal for Jew theory, a field of critical inquiry parallel to queer theory and other formulations. Though provocatively titled, Jew theory aims to give a name to a wide range of theorizations of Jewishness, from Karl Marx to Yuri Slezkine, from Hannah Arendt to Daniel and Jonathan Boyarin. Jew theory is a way to scrutinize sites of proposed certainty (established hierarchies and their colonial peripheries) and demonstrate their translational instability. By leveraging figurations of the “the Jew” as neither fully inside or outside, theorists can expose a grammar of undecidability in the modern world. Such a theory makes use of Jewish stereotypes not to recover a sense of Jewish propriety but to constantly return to the productive tension of cultural entanglement.
