Utopia as Everyday Practice. Jewish Intellectuals and Cultural Translation in Prague before and after 1933
Original language description
The enormous cultural activities of Jewish intellectuals in Prague and especially their literary translations from Czech into German in late Habsburg Monarchy and the First Czechoslovak Republic has been the subject of scholarly controversy since the past few decades. The author analyzes these translational activities before and after 1933 and shows that the writers and translators did not act as a collective, but that their individual achievements created a cultural atmosphere that has become especially important since 1933. In the last part of the article the author deals with the legacies of the translators during and after the Shoah. She concludes that the translational activities of Prague Jewish authors serve as an excellent example for a “structural pacifism”, as Victor Karady defined one of the paradigms of European Jewish history.
