Jews in Contemporary Visual Entertainment
2022
Overview
What are the consequences of how Jews are depicted in movies and
television series? Drawing on a host of movies and television
series from the 1970s to present day, Jews in Contemporary
Visual Entertainment explores how the media sexualize and
racialize American Jews. Race and sexuality frequently intersect in
the depiction of Jewish characters in such shows as The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , UnREAL , The Expanse ,
and Breaking Bad , and in films such as Hester
Street , Once Upon a Time in America , Casino ,
Radio Days , Inglourious Basterds , and Barton
Fink . When they do, American sexual norms are invariably
challenged or outright broken by these anti-Semitic representations
of Jewishness.
Insightful and provocative, Jews in Contemporary Visual
Entertainment disturbingly reveals the far-reaching influence
of popular visual media in shaping how American Jews are perceived
today.
