Then UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s attendance at a Passover Seder organised by the radical leftist group, Jewdas, in April 2018, led to a brief but vitriolic controversy involving Anglo-Jewish umbrella organisations concerning who qualifies to speak as a Jew. This article uses this controversy to engage with Judith Butler’s attempt to address this question, suggesting that in decentring Zionist claims to Jewish subjectivity she fails to take account of how different Jewish subjectivities are formed, and thus ends up proposing a ‘good Jew/bad Jew’ binary that dissolves Jewishness into universal humanism. Drawing on the work of the German-Jewish mystical anarchist Gustav Landauer (1870–1919), the article proposes a different way of understanding subjectivity that retains ontological inherency as a plausible precondition for ethical solidarity. As such, the article’s argument has implications not merely for a reworked understanding of Jewish subjectivity but for the politics of subject formation more broadly.

当杰里米·科宾走进塞德河时,你怎么称呼它?犹太人,古斯塔夫·兰道尔(Gustav Landauer,1870–1919年)和道德主体形成

然后,英国工党领袖杰里米·科宾(Jeremy Corbyn)参加了激进左翼组织犹太人联盟(Jewdas)于2018年4月举行的逾越节,引发了一场简短但有争议的争论,涉及盎格鲁犹太人伞形组织关于谁有资格作为犹太人发言。本文利用这一争议来解决朱迪思·巴特勒(Judith Butler)试图解决这个问题的尝试,这表明在将犹太复国主义者对犹太主观性的主张分散时,她没有考虑到犹太人的不同主观性是如何形成的,因此最终提出了“好犹太人/坏犹太人”的建议。将犹太人化为普遍人文主义的二进制文件。借鉴德国犹太神秘的无政府主义者古斯塔夫·兰道尔(Gustav Landauer,1870–1919年)的工作,本文提出了一种不同的理解主观性的方法,该方法保留了本体论的固有性,将其作为道德团结的合理前提。因此,本文的论点不仅对犹太主观性有重新理解的意义,而且对更广泛的主题形成政治也有影响。
