Familiar Bias? Anti-Jewish and Gender Stereotypes in German Cultural Practice and their Reflection in Slovak Literature of the 19th and 20th Centuries

The present study examines the transfer of the antisemitic and antifeminist stereotypes of the “pretty Jewess” and the “degenerate Jew” from the German linguistic and cultural sphere into Slovak literature in the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Using the methods of translation studies, the current research presents an interdisciplinary historical analysis of the images of difference in literature and partially film. This approach complements and adds to the present discourse analyses of antisemitism and antifeminism, which in the region of East-Central Europe, have largely studied these subjects separately and have not taken into account the historical interconnectedness of such phenomena or the mutual influence of the different cultural and ideological milieus.
