Before the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church considered the Jewish people to have committed deicide ; in the Church's eyes, they were condemned and cursed by God. After this event, it gave up what was called “Replacement Theology,” engaged in dialogue, asserted the permanency of God's choice of Israel, and considered Jews as “elder brothers.” In this article, the author explores the role of the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion in the evolution of the way in which the Catholic Church has viewed Jews and Judaism. This role has brought about a theological rethinking and a change of mindset, which led, more or less directly, to the declaration Nostra Aetate of the Second Vatican Council.

In his books, Philip Roth could be seen to tell of a quest for a lost history that would weave individuals back into their time and place. Roth addresses two outstanding issues : what it means to be a Jew, and the true nature of an American identity where heroism hinges on conformity and the status quo, and where one turns to one's faith to find solace. Indeed, Jews living in America today are disconnected from the historic sufferings that made their people, regardless of religious or spiritual considerations. Roth might be seen as narrating the transition between the chains of yesteryear to today's freedom, redefining his characters' identities in the process.

This article analyzes the concept of ethnicity in the JewishAmericanlesbian novel. Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues and Sarah Schulman's Empathy illustrate the imaginary links between being jewish and being lesbian. The novel seems the privileged platform whence articulating and affirming a dual marginalized identity is possible. The question raised in this paper is one of identity : what difference is there between being jewish and belonging to a jewish community or a jewish past ?

Canadian music is almost completely absent from university-level textbooks used in this country, most of which are published in the United States. Canadian content typically is added to a music history survey course, if at all, at the end of the chronological account. This article argues for a different approach, one in which Canadian content is integrated into the survey course from the medieval era to the present day. Introductory courses in ethnomusicology could also include Canadian music materials at many different points.

Political metaphors are expressed by lexical items with political content. Their transfer into other languages as part of political texts involves a potential of conflict due to their political and ideological load. Political interviews that are published through interpretation may be used to exemplify how transfer of source metaphors involve conflict depending on the translational decisions. This article focuses on the transfer of a political metaphor in an interpreter-mediated political interview as a source of potential conflict. The article first presents the concept of ideology in translation and markers of ideology in relation to political correctness and conflict as ideological aspects of political translation. It then focuses on zenci [negro/nigger] in Turkish as a political metaphor in transfer into English. The background for and the analysis of the sample metaphor in source and target languages, as well as the conclusions driven out of this case, aim to set the grounds for future discussions of similar cases in Turkish-English political translation.
