- Description
- Describes a pedagogy and practice of reading PrT in light of the historical pogrom in Prague (1387), a Latin narrative of the pogrom ("Passio Judeorum Pragensium"), a Czech-and-Latin fragmentary play entitled "Ungentarius" (Ointment Seller), and accounts of the Jewish legend of the Golem--all evincing aspects of the scapegoating of Jews and "projective inversion," with emphasis on the destabilization of "Christian/Jewish inverted parallelism" and, more broadly, the "collapse of Self and Other."
