Abstract:This paper analyzes the ideological ambivalence inherent in the critical reception of Jewish American literature in Israel from the late 1950s through the 1980s. On the one hand, there was a tendency in Israeli literary discourse to particularize and "Judaize" universal aspects of works by Jewish American authors and to take pride in their literary achievements, generally exhibiting an affinity to diaspora Jewish culture. On the other hand, there was also a tendency to (over)emphasize the difficulty of living as a Jew in a non-Jewish world, from both a spiritual and intellectual standpoint and a physical and social one, in a way that bolstered Israeli sovereignty as the only true solution for contemporary Jewish existence. This dialectical Israeli perception of American Jewish culture entailed both inclusivity and dismissal, implied both communal affinity and unequal hierarchy, and may be emblematic of the dual nature of the Israeli approach to diaspora existence in general.

美国犹太文学造就了阿利亚？犹太人/非犹太人边界维护和以色列对侨民的态度

摘要：本文分析了 1950 年代末至 1980 年代以色列对美国犹太文学的批判性接受所固有的意识形态矛盾。一方面，以色列文学话语倾向于将美国犹太作家作品的普遍方面具体化和“犹太化”，并为他们的文学成就感到自豪，通常表现出对散居国外的犹太文化的亲和力。另一方面，也有一种倾向（过分）强调在非犹太人世界中作为犹太人生活的困难，无论是从精神和智力的角度，还是从身体和社会的角度，以支持以色列主权的方式作为当代犹太人生存的唯一真正解决方案。以色列人对美国犹太文化的这种辩证看法同时包含包容性和排斥性，
