Produktbeschreibung
Using the work of a range of key thinkers, from Marx to Agambe, Nietzsche, Sartre, Adorno and Horkheimer, Arendt and Lyotard, this book examines the connections between legal rights as an expression of modern political emancipation and the emergence and development of the social phenomenon of antisemitism. Addressing, amongst others the topic of the Holocaust and it's impact upon critical forms of thought and public life, it discusses the relationship between law and anti-Semitism. The author's departure from the more traditional analysis, where anti-Semitism is a pre-existent given, a new and exciting perspective sheds doubt upon the idea of a monolithic 'modern' anti-Semitism and questions the popular notion of an 'eternal antisemitism'.

Rezensionen
'This is a dense and thought-provoking work which attempts both deep and broad analysis of political thought likely to be of interest to researchers working in the fields of jurisprudence, sociology, philosophy and politics.' - Therese O'Donnell, Law and Politics Book Review, Oct 2008

"Law, Antisemitism and the Holocaust is a welcome and very significant contribution to both critical theory and work on Jewishness and antisemitism. Seymour's development of the idea of Holocaust dissolution/ressentiment is especially important at this particular moment; it captures, for me, a move that is not just part of the canon of continental critical theory, but also one I have seen take shape in socio-legal and other scholarship more widely." - Didi Herman, University of Kent. Social and Legal Studies, Volume 18, No.3 (September 2009)
