While it is well established that articulations of identity must always be contextualized within time and place, only when we consider how bodies move through, touch, and are touched by physical, cognitive, and even imaginary spaces do we arrive at dynamic and intersectional expressions of identity. Using two divergent visual culture case studies, this essay first applies Setha Low’s theory of embodied spaces to understand the intersection and interconnection between body, space, and culture, and how the concept of belongingness is knotted with material and representational indicators of space at the Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum in Israel. Marianne Hirsch’s ideas about the Holocaust and affiliative postmemory are also considered to further understand how Jewish bodies inherit their identifies and sense of belonging. To test how embodied spaces and affiliative postmemory or collective memory implicitly operate to help shape and articulate expressions of Jewish identities, the focus then shifts to a consideration of the eight-decade career of New York jazz musician and visual artist, Bill Wurtzel. The clever combination of “schtick and sechel” in Wurtzel’s artistic practice, activated by his movement through the Jewish spaces of his youth such as the Catskills, and through his interaction with Jewish design great, Lou Dorfsman, underscore how Jewish belonging and identity are forged at the intersection of physical and tactile “embodied spaces,” where the internal meets the external and human consciousness and experience converge.

注意身体:犹太人身份建构中的空间、记忆和视觉文化

虽然众所周知,身份的表达必须始终在时间和地点内进行情境化,但只有当我们考虑身体如何穿过、接触物理、认知甚至想象的空间并被物理、认知甚至想象的空间所触及时,我们才能得出动态和交叉的表达身份。通过两个不同的视觉文化案例研究,本文首先应用 Setha Low 的具身空间理论来理解身体、空间和文化之间的交集和相互联系,以及归属感的概念如何与 Yad 的空间的物质和表现指标联系在一起以色列 Vashem 大屠杀历史博物馆。玛丽安·赫希 (Marianne Hirsch) 关于大屠杀和归属后记忆的想法也被认为可以进一步了解犹太人的身体如何继承他们的身份和归属感。为了测试体现空间和从属后记忆或集体记忆如何隐含地运作以帮助塑造和表达犹太人身份,重点随后转移到对纽约爵士乐音乐家和视觉艺术家 Bill Wurtzel 八十年职业生涯的考虑。Wurtzel 的艺术实践中“schtick 和 sechel”的巧妙结合,通过他年轻时在卡茨基尔等犹太空间的运动,以及通过他与犹太设计大师 Lou Dorfsman 的互动,强调了犹太人的归属感和身份是如何形成的在物理和触觉“体现空间”的交汇处,内部与外部和人类意识和经验交汇的地方。然后重点转移到对纽约爵士音乐家和视觉艺术家 Bill Wurtzel 八年职业生涯的考虑上。Wurtzel 的艺术实践中“schtick 和 sechel”的巧妙结合,通过他年轻时在卡茨基尔等犹太空间的运动,以及通过他与犹太设计大师 Lou Dorfsman 的互动,强调了犹太人的归属感和身份是如何形成的在物理和触觉“体现空间”的交汇处,内部与外部和人类意识和经验交汇的地方。然后重点转移到对纽约爵士音乐家和视觉艺术家 Bill Wurtzel 八年职业生涯的考虑上。Wurtzel 的艺术实践中“schtick 和 sechel”的巧妙结合,通过他年轻时在卡茨基尔等犹太空间的运动,以及通过他与犹太设计大师 Lou Dorfsman 的互动,强调了犹太人的归属感和身份是如何形成的在物理和触觉“体现空间”的交汇处,内部与外部和人类意识和经验交汇的地方。
