Jews and Dogs

[Slivkin, Yevgeniy A.]

I just occurred to me that it could be extremly  interesting to look at the Shvonder-Sharikov relationship in Bulgakov's "The Heart of a Dog" through the lens of the Jews and Dogs connection in literature...



Also regarding "The Heart of a Dog" I have a question for all SEELANGERS. Could somone please recommend scholarly articles  or scholarly book chapters written on this work which would be comprehensible for undergraduate students (written in English, of course).



Thank you very much.



Yevgeny Slivkin

Apparently Marshal Tukhachevskiy once said "The Jew is a dog, son of a dog, who sows his fleas in every land" (quoted in General J.F.C. Fuller, The Decisive Battles of the Western World", the chapter dealing with Warsaw 1920, from memory, I mislaid my copy years ago).

Dear Dorothy--I would suggest Olga Belova's work on folklore related to ethnic stereotypes in the Russian context. She may have some valuable background for a study of this kind.

Best, Jeanmarie

No, please reply to the whole list (or at least to me too).  I am very interested in this topic and narrative conceptualizations of animals in general.
Thanks-
Dorothy

Dear Colleagues,
A student working on Hebrew, Yiddish, and German literatures is starting a dissertation on how narratives juxtapose Jews and dogs (and sometimes other animals).  Sometimes Jews are identified with dogs, and sometimes they are seen as opposing forces.  Can you think of Russian texts that I should recommend to him?  Probably best to reply off list.
take care
Gabriella
