The conception of the "self" and the "others" and its representation in artwork and literature is an important theme in current cultural sciences as well as in our everyday life in contemporary western societies. Moreover, the concept of the "self" and the "others" and its imaginary dichotomy gains more and more political impact in a world of resurfacing ideology-ridden conflicts. The essays deal with Jewish reality in contemporary Germany and its reflection in movies from the special point of view cultural sciences, political sciences and religious studies. The anthology presents challengingly new insights on topics rarely given such as youth culture or humour, and finally discuss the images of Jewish life as realities still to be constructed.
