With the rise of the dominance of biological and racialist discourse in the 1880s, the depiction of Jewish characters in Russian literary and cultural productions underwent a significant change, as these cultural practices recast the Jew not only as an archetypal “exotic” and religious or class Other (as in Romanticism and realist writing), but as a biological Other whose acts, deeds, and thoughts were determined by racial differences.

This stereotype has become a stable archetype that continues to operate in Russian society. 2019-11-26 23:55 2020-03-27 03:00:26 2020-04-01T09:25:28Z 2020-04-01T09:25:28Z 2009-11-01 book 1006477 OCN: 1135854174 9781618118523 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/23666 eng Borderlines: Russian and East European-Jewish Studies application/pdf n/a 1006477.pdf https://www.academicstudiespress.com/jewsofrussiaeasterneurope/copy-of-exemplary-bodies-constructing-the-jew-in-russian-culture-1880s-to-2008 Academic Studies Press 10.2307/j.ctt21h4wgs 104929 10.2307/j.ctt21h4wgs ffe92610-fbe7-449b-a2a8-02c411701a23 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9781618118523 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) 104929 KU Open Services Knowledge Unlatched open access
