Dipping into a number of writers from the 1880s to the 2000s Mondry (Russian, U. of Canterbury, New Zealand) shows how the construct of the Jewish body, psyche, and character has been modeled by Russian culture, and how Russian culture has responded to this construct during the period. She argues that is the Jewish body that culture inscribed meaning onto, and that this body had a surface and inner organs--the psyche being as material and biological as the brain--and this is responsible for a special kind of behavior. Her topics include the medicalization of the Jewish body by Anton Chekhov during the 1880s, sadists' bodies of the anti-zionist campaign era in the 1960s and 1970s, glasnost and the uncensored sexed body of the Jew, and important Jewish personalities and post-Soviet corporophobia.
