Overview
This work examines the role of language in forging the modern subject. Focusing on the idea of the "New Man" that has animated all revolutionaries, the present volume asks what it meant to define oneself in terms of one's class origins, gender, national belonging or racial origins.Synopsis
Many of the participants of the January 1999 international conference in Tel Aviv were barely out of school, and so bring to the 16 resulting papers theories and methods that are still being solidified. From perspectives of history and language, they consider such issues as the desacralization of the monarchy in pornography during World War I, intimacy in an ideological key, and death in Auschwitz as Ugly Death.
