Reinventing Tradition
How was the Jewish tradition reinvented in Russian-Jewish literature after a long period of assimilation, the Holocaust, and decades of Communism? The process of reinventing the tradition began in the counter-culture of Jewish dissidents, in the midst of the late-Soviet underground of the 1960-1970s, and it continues to the present day. In this period, Jewish literature addresses the reader of the ‘post-human’ epoch, when the knowledge about traditional Jewry and Judaism is received not from the family members or the collective environment, but rather from books, paintings, museums and popular culture. Klavdia Smola explores how contemporary Russian-Jewish literature turns to the traditions of Jewish writing, from biblical Judaism to early-Soviet (anti-)Zionist novels, and how it ‘re-writes’ Haskalah satire, Hassidic Midrash or Yiddish travelogues.

The Currency of Politics
Money in the history of political thought, from ancient Greece to the Great Inflation of the 1970s In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, critical attention has shifted from the economy to the most fundamental feature of all market economies—money. Yet despite the centrality of political struggles over money, it remains difficult to articulate its democratic possibilities and limits. The Currency of Politics takes readers from ancient Greece to today to provide an intellectual history of money, drawing on the insights of key political philosophers to show how money is not just a medium of exchange but also a central institution of political rule. Money appears to be beyond the reach of ...
Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Symposium with over one hundred presentations was highlighted by overviews of the complex nature of PAH and their interaction with the environment and the human population that must live within it. New approaches and techniques for measuring PAH were discussed as were the fate of these compounds in the environment. Papers were presented defining the altered biological responses that were induced by PAH species. In some cases the newly defined, substituted PAH had greater effects than the parent compound. Several reports concentrated on the synthesis of derivative PAH species and the actual formation processes that occur in the combustion of fossil fuels.
