Emblems of Diasporic (Re)turns: Introduction
2019
Overview
Shelleg talks about the emblems of diasporic returns. In the thick corm of causal, contingent, and incidental memories that animate Yaakov Shabtai's Past Continuous, one finds his older characters reverting to their previous, diasporic spaces. Through a syntactic flux that marries all tenses amid critical, elegiac, and nostalgic torrents, the road from Eastern Europe to Tel Aviv does not withstand the partitions erected by Zionist rhetoric, particularly its repression of Jewish diasporic cultures. Shabtai may have preserved both stereotypical and astereotypical imagery of Eastern European Jews--and all the more while meticulously depicting their physical decay in Israel of the 1970s--yet these earmarks of national Diasporism and their ethnic qualities were suppressed by their children in the name of Hebrew territorial nationalism.
