ABSTRACT:In this article, I offer a reading of Agnon's work, and especially his classic Zionist novel Tmol shilshom (Only Yesterday), from the perspective of cultural and historical analysis. It is my contention that cultural reading will significantly enhance the scholarship of racism and antisemitism that his works address. Reading Tmol shilshom in this fashion affords theoretical and cultural insight into the genealogy and assimilation experiences of the beast (the dog) and the Jew—two figures that challenge the idea of the modern nation by contesting the very possibility of abstraction and symbolism that the national and humanistic imagination enables. I offer a tentative look at the way in which discourse performs identity through violence, that is, differentiation and exclusion. I seek to show that the novel Tmol shilshom, written during the Holocaust, combines the colonial experience with the Jewish one, employing a signifier that never renders a coherent symbol and therefore always highlights difference, reluctant to be submerged by any worldview.

ABSTRACT:There is no single description of a funeral and its rites in tannaitic literature; bits and pieces of the ceremony can at best be reconstructed from various texts in which such rituals are brought into discussion by way of their interaction with other topics. One of the more extended passages on this topic can be found in tractate Mo’ed Qatan, in the latter part of chapter 3. An additional detail that should be immediately evident to the reader of this passage is the prominent role that gender plays in this description: both in terms of the gender of the deceased, and the gender of the participants in the funereal rites. This paper, then, will explore particularly the activities that the tannaitic authors imagine women to undertake as part of the funeral process, using Mo’ed Qatan 3:8–9 in particular as an entry point. The paper opens with a more general description of what can be gleaned from tannaitic sources on the conduct of a funeral and burial, and then turns to questions relating both to funerals for women who have died, and women as participants—particularly as lamenters—in funerals for others. Relevant materials regarding Greco-Roman and early Christian practices are also brought to further illuminate the topic.
