The authors investigate the terms and conditions of this inclusion whose object is an imagined collective Jewish figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDifferent creators and media, same friendly intentions, same warm reception beyond class and political cleavages, regardless of gender and age. The made-to-measure Jewish figure confirms and legitimizes the majority narrative--especially about Polish stances and behaviors during the Holocaust. Enabled by this, philo-Semitic feelings indulge the dominant group in Baudrillard's retrospective hallucinations. The consequence: aggression toward anyone who dares to interrupt the narcissistic self-staging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book exposes the Polish ethnoreligious identity regime that privileges the concern for the collective image over reality. The authors' inquiry shows how patterns of exclusion and violence are reproduced when anti-Semitism--with its Christian sources and community-building function--is not openly problematized, reassessed, and rejected in light of its consequences and the basic principle of equal rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elżbieta Janicka, Tomasz Żukowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793636699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793636690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"El\u0026#380;bieta Janicka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990454370559,"sku":"9781793636690","price":116.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_634bfd08-6e28-4c9f-8ef1-506d0c914a47.jpg?v=1683304765","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philo-semitic-violence-elbieta-janicka-9781793636690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
