Shifting the Borders of Culture and Identity: German Jewish Intellectuals as cultural mediators between Germany and France (original) (raw)

This paper discusses German-Jewish intellectuals living in Paris as cultural mediators between Germany and France. It argues that their experiences in Paris allowed them to navigate and reshape their identities, moving from perceived "otherness" in Germany to a chosen identity in France. The examination includes the fluid nature of identity among assimilated Jews, and highlights their contributions to bridging cultural divides, impacting both their personal identities and the cultural landscape of Germany.
