hardcover. Condizione: Fine. includes dust-jacket. DETAILS: near fine dust-jacket, fresh attractive copy, fine condition olive green cloth. WIEVIORKA, MICHEL. The last Jewish joke. Translated from the French by Cory Stockwell. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press, 2025, 141pp., . "The golden age of Jewish humour flourished in the second half of the twentieth century, enjoyed by Jews and non-Jews alike, but its twilight years are now in sight. Telling jokes has the potential to reaffirm community once religion, political loyalties and victimhood are stripped away: from the 1960s on, a unique cultural dynamism bound up in these jokes reminded Jews around the world of what it means to be Jewish. Often, jokes pit one group against another, but Jewish jokes opted for self-deprecation instead, and in this case, laughing at the group reinforced it. They enabled Jews to live in harmony with others in full conscience of their differences and they safeguarded a desire for survival at the heart of Jewish identity. Moreover, absurd, larger-than-life characters such as Rabbi Jacob generated tolerance, empathy and tenderness among non-Jews after the horror and guilt of the Shoah. From the early 2000s, however, the space that allowed Jewish jokes to flourish began to shrink, due to a decline in the understanding of the Shoah, a less positive image of Israel and a waning of the importance of Jewish culture in American intellectual and cultural life. This playful and personal book by Michel Wieviorka includes Jewish jokes but also laments the disappearance of the Jewish joke and eulogises its ability to allow the thriving of community alongside difference. It is an original and wide-ranging analysis of the evolution of the diaspora and its relationship with the State of Israel, its history and dramas as well as its cultural creativity.".

Benhabib, Seyla, 1950-. Dignity in adversity: human rights in troubled times. Cambridge, UK ; Malden, MA: Polity Press, 2014, originally 2011, reprinted 2014, xi, 298pp., PAPERBACK, messy ink underlining on about 10 pages in chapter 9 on political theology, book is curved and first few pages corner bumped, still good as reading copy despite damage. The language of human rights has become the public vocabulary of our contemporary world. Ironically, as the political influence of human rights has grown, their philosophical justification has become ever more controversial. Building on a theory of discourse ethics and communicative rationality, this book addresses the politics and philosophy of human rights against the background of the broader social transformations that are shaping the modern world. Rejecting the reduction of international human rights to the Trojan horse of a neo-liberal empire's bid for world power, as well as the conservative objections to legal cosmopolitanism as encroachments upon democratic sovereignty, Benhabib develops two key concepts to move beyond these false antitheses. International human rights norms need contextualization in specific polities through processes of what she calls 'democratic iterations.' Furthermore, such norms have a 'jurisgenerative power, ' in that they enable new actors to enter fields of social and political contestation; they promote new vocabularies for public claim-making and anticipate a justice to come. -- CONTENTS: Introduction : cosmopolitanism without illusions -- From The dialectic of enlightenment to The origins of totalitarianism : Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer in the company of Hannah Arendt -- International law and human plurality in the shadow of totalitarianism : Hannah Arendt and Raphael Lemkin -- Another universalism : on the unity and diversity of human rights -- Is there a human right to democracy? Beyond interventionism and indifference -- Twilight of sovereignty or the emergence of cosmopolitan norms? Rethinking citizenship in volatile times -- Claiming rights across borders : international human rights and democratic sovereignty -- Democratic exclusions and democratic iterations : dilemmas of just membership and prospects of cosmopolitan federalism -- The return of political theology : the Scarf Affair in comparative constitutional perspective in France, Germany and Turkey -- Utopia and dystopia in our times.
