Abstract

This article examines the last utopian novel of early Zionist thought and literature. The utopia Jerusalem Rebuilt was written after the First World War and published in the mid-1920s by Boris Schatz. This work combined artistic utopian vision and Jewish nationalism, and it reflected the early Zionist vision at the turn of the twentieth century. This article discusses Schatz’s work against the backdrop of Zionist utopian literature that was written between the 1880 s and the end of the First World War. The article suggests that a careful reading of early utopian Zionist literature points to the clear connection between the revolutionary Zionist vision and pre-modern Jewish cultural heritage. Despite the revolutionary character of Zionism, the early utopian literature points to the evolutionary and cultural dimensions of Jewish nationalism.

摘要

本文探讨了早期犹太复国主义思想和文学的最后一部乌托邦小说。乌托邦耶路撒冷重建是第一次世界大战后撰写的，由鲍里斯·沙茨 (Boris Schatz) 于 20 年代中期出版。该作品结合了艺术乌托邦愿景和犹太民族主义，反映了二十世纪之交早期犹太复国主义的愿景。本文以 1880 年代至第一次世界大战结束期间创作的犹太复国主义乌托邦文学为背景，讨论了沙茨的作品。文章表明，仔细阅读早期乌托邦犹太复国主义文献可以发现革命犹太复国主义愿景与前现代犹太文化遗产之间的明确联系。尽管犹太复国主义具有革命特征，但早期的乌托邦文学指出了犹太民族主义的进化和文化维度。
