Politics of Interpretation, The
This study examines the critical ideologies that have shaped the perception, reception, and projection of Old Yiddish during the course of the past century. The first critical, historical survey of the history of scholarship in the field, it confronts the assumptions underlying the research—assumptions of cultural identity and the value of the literature of that culture. It documents the pervasive denial that Yiddish is a language and that Yiddish literature is intrinsically valuable, or the assertion that this literature is German and a product of German culture.

Vikings, Vínland and the Discourse of Eurocentrism
The tenth-century Norse activities in Vinland did not participate in such large-scale, world-political conceptions. The literate Icelanders of the thirteenth century incorporated the medieval Norse occupation of the North Atlantic into a large political and narrative discourse that did take part in a long-standing European discourse tradition that represented confrontations with non-European geography, and this Norse version of it can now be recognized and identified as Eurocentric.
