You can change your noses, but you can’t change your Moses
This article shifts the analysis of the ‘Jewish’ nose away from its visual significance to its olfactory capacity. It develops the notion of an olfactory aesthetics as a way of becoming attuned to the role smell plays in the interpretation of racial differences. Through analyzing a corpus of images by Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp that represent both the ‘Jewish’ nose and processes of olfaction, the article explores how smell heightens the racialized perception of visual symbols like the nose. Ultimately, however, it argues that an interpretative process attuned to smell may help disrupt the predetermined signs that mark racialized subjects as different.

BOOK
Cargo Cult
The film is populated with generic, mostly naked Melanesians boasting a mélange of penis wrappers and grass skirts, bushy beards, pierced and boned noses, pig-tusk and pearl-shell necklaces, feathers, beads, armbands, stone axes, net bags, living in villages of high-gabled thatched houses. The cargo cult, too, is generic, although the brief view of the cargo shrine featuring crosses and a small model plane recalls John Frum movement shrines on Tanna (Vanuatu), and the full-sized wooden plane and ersatz communication tower on the mountain top must derive from similar scenes from the climax of the 1962 \"shockumentary\" Mondo Cane.

Die gebogene Nase
The article sheds light on the various meanings ascribed to the convexly shaped nose in Anglophone literature and culture from the late 18th to the late 19th centuries. Starting from the scholarly discussion about the alleged Je wish - ness of Dracula’s aquiline nose in Bram Stoker’s novel, the study turns to the central figure of Matthew Lewis’s The Monk, who is characterized by the same physiognomic feature. A consideration of several other narrative texts from the Gothic as well as sentimental traditions shows that the curved shape of the nose was on the one hand associated with physical and mental strength, a commanding personality and noble descent and on the other with the stereotypical image of the shrewd and greedy Jew. These two dominant evaluative schemas, which are usually discrete, but can occasionally overlap and are sometimes questioned, also appear in the pseudo -scientific physio gnomic studies of the 19th century. Their laboured distinctions between Roman and Jewish noses betray the attempt to deny the Jews the positive appraisal generally assigned to the aquiline nose. In view of these findings, the article argues for regarding this type of nose as a complex semiotic sign in novels like Dracula.
