Dog, Alterity, Jewish Argentine LiteratureAbstract
In the following contribution we comment the use of the dog´s figure in two works by Argentine authors. They are Zisie Goy, by Samuel Glasserman (1932) and Mester de Judería, by Carlos Grünberg (1940). The first corresponds to the genre called
Yiddish Criollismo, and the second to Jewish poetry in Spanish. In both cases we focus on
situations of violence where appear the insults “dog blood” and “Jewish dog”, respectively, and that we understand as updates to categories linked to long-standing traditions.
