| Description |
Distinguishes between three types of Jewish jokes: jokes told by Jews about themselves, antisemitic jokes, and "Hebredonian" jokes which reflect the stereotype of the Jew as "canny" (shrewd and thrifty). Though sometimes critical of Jews, the latter are not linked to an organized ideology or prejudice against Jews. Analyzes themes commonly found in Jewish jokes, such as the stereotype of Jewish cleverness employed to outwit antisemites. Using criteria of "congruence" and "switching", defines antisemitic jokes as those congruent with antisemitic ideology and propaganda, portraying the Jew as a swindler, disloyal to the host country, cowardly, and destructive. These jokes can also be switched and applied to other persecuted minorities. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) In Hebrew: "הומור יהודי" (תשמו) 61-79 |
