The Jewish Body: Corporeality, Society, and Identity in the Renaissance and Early Modern Period
Responding to the recent ‘corporeal turn’ in Jewish Studies and recognising the surprising lack of research on notions of the early modern Jewish body, Diemling planned and commissioned a thematically coherent volume that explores the ‘Jewish body’ in historical and social context, examines the particular focus on bodily matters in Jewish law, discusses the relationship between body, mind and soul and concludes with contributions on the body in Jewish-Christian discourse. Diemling co-wrote the introduction and also contributed a chapter (‘”Den ikh in treyfe gevezn”: Body Perceptions in Seventeenth-Century Jewish Autobiographical Texts’, pp. 93-125). The book appeared in the Studies in Jewish History and Culture series at Brill.
