The Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona
Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona (1871–1946) was a prominent, eccentric and influential figure in late Imperial Germany, Expressionism, Dadaism, and the Weimar Republic. He wrote and published works of philosophy, novels, parodies and satirical so-called grotesque tales, which he wrote under the pseudonym “Mynona”—the German word for anonymous, anonym, spelled backwards. Currently being rediscovered in his native language, F/M and his work are still generally unknown, and none of his philosophical texts have been translated. The Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona: Twentieth-Century Performance Philosopher is the first English book introducing F/M’s philosophical works. T...

The time is ripe, more than fifty years after the publication of the magnum opus by Perls, Hefferline & Goodman, to publish a book on the topic of cre ativity in Gestalt therapy. The idea for this book was conceived in March 2001, on the island of Sicily, at the very first European Conference of Gestalt Therapy Writers of the European Association [or Gestalt Therapy. Our start ing point was an article on art and creativity in Gestalt therapy, which was presented there by one of the editors, and illuminated by a vision, held by the other editor, of bringing together colleagues from around the world to contribute to a qualified volume on the subject of creativity within the realm of Gestalt th...
The Operated Jew and The Operated Goy
Originally published in English in 1991 and now reissued with a new Preface by Jack Zipes, this book presents and examines the work of two little-known writers, Oskar Panizza and Mynona (Salomo Friedlaender). In Panizza’s chilling story, The Operated Jew (1893), a turn-of-the- century Jew undergoes a series of disfiguring operations that transform him into a ‘European’. The tale mingles loathing with compassion for its title character. Thirty years later, Panizza’s tale was answered by Mynona, an urbane German Jew who turned the story’s tables in The Operated Goy (1922). In his introduction and essays, Jack Zipes explores some of the myths of modern anti-Semitic thought. He also examines parallels between the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe and the violence of Arabs and Israelis in the Middle East, issues which have an enduring relevance and are as pertinent in the 21st Century as when the book was first published.

Der Schriftsteller Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona
Kaum ein anderer Schriftsteller der Moderne hat die literarische Szene der ersten vier Jahrzehnte unseres Jahrhunderts so durchgreifend beobachtet und kommentiert wie Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona. In der Germanistik zunächst bestenfalls als Verfasser literarischer Grotesken bekannt, muß er heute als bedeutender Prosaist, Essayist und Lyriker gesehen werden. Friedlaenders besonderes Verhältnis zu Goethe, seine literarischen Kontroversen mit Tucholsky, Thomas Mann und Remarque, die erkenntnistheoretischen Schriften und sein lyrisches Schaffen werden in dieser monographischen Darstellung erstmals zusammenhängend untersucht.

Crisis and the Arts: The import of nothing : how Dada came, saw, and vanished in the Low Countries (1915-1929)
In examining Dada in the Low Countries, Hubert van den Berg is faced with a complex situation that as much critiqued as embraced Dada. Largely an individual affair, and lacking the community "center" of Dada in Zurich, Berlin and the other Dada "capitals," van den Berg focuses equally on Dada's reception and on its exercise. Primarily a case of selective appropriation, Dada in the Low Countries nevertheless possessed an international reach, achieved in the relationships it posed between Dada and the Post-World War I Constructivist International and De Stijl. For the author, Dada in Belgium and the Netherlands is less a case of its "story" than of specific cases of its "use." The involvement of Clement Pansaers, Paul van Ostaijen, Theo van Doesburg, and German artist Kurt Schwitters, figure prominently in the historical mapping of van den Berg's complex and elusive subject.
