Jewish culture places a great deal of emphasis on texts and their means of transmission.
At various points in Jewish history, the primary mode of transmission has changed
in response to political, geographical, technological, and cultural shifts. Contemporary
textual transmission in Jewish culture has been influenced by secularization, the
return to Hebrew and the emergence of modern Yiddish, and the new centers of Jewish
life in the United States and in Israel, as well as by advancements in print technology
and the invention of the Internet. Volume XXXI of Studies in Contemporary Jewry deals
with various aspects of textual transmission in Jewish culture in the last two centuries.
0Essays in this volume examine old and new kinds of media and their meanings; new
modes of transmission in fields such as Jewish music; and the struggle to continue
transmitting texts under difficult political circumstances. Two essays analyze textual
transmission in the works of giants of modern Jewish literature: S.Y. Agnon, in Hebrew,
and Isaac Bashevis Singer, in Yiddish. Other essays discuss paratexts in the East,
print cultures in the West, and the organization of knowledge in libraries and encyclopedias
