In ihrer Betrachtung über Thomas Mann und Max Brod sprechen die Verfasser drei Themenkreise an. Hierbei geht es um das komplexe Phänomen des literarischen Antisemitismus, die europatypische kulturelle Mentalität des Indifferentismus sowie um das Dilemma der zentraleuropäischen Künstler und Intellektuellen mit dezidiert antinationalistischer sozialer und politischer Orientierung hinsichtlich der Unterstützung der zionistischen Idee und ihrer politischen Umsetzung. Die Verfasser arbeiten den gemeinsamen Hintergrund der frühen Werke Thomas Manns und Max Brods heraus und problematisieren die Verwendung der Begriffe "Antisemit" und "Zionist". (ICE)

This book-series, initiated in 1992, has an interdisciplinary orientation; it comprises research monographs, collections of essays and annotated editions from the 18th century to the present. The term German-Jewish literature refers to the literary work of Jewish authors writing in German to the extent that Jewish aspects can be identified in these. However, the image of Jews among non-Jewish authors, often determined by anti-Semitism, is also a factor in the history of German-Jewish relations as reflected in literature. This series provides an appropriate forum for research into the whole problematic area.
