Birthplace after the Shoah in Rajzel Żychlińsky’s Poetry – Towards a Different Project of Identity

Summary/Abstract: This article aims at exploring how the experience of the Shoah reorients a Jewish birthplace with regard to its symbolic and signifying potential, and, thereafter, conceptualises its impact on the identity. Precisely, this text attempts to describe and define the specificity of a birthplace after the Shoah, relying on Rajzel Żychlińsky’s poetry, still a marginal author writing in Yiddish. As it is shown, birthplaces depend on the duality which resurfaces at the precise moment of a homecoming: they are both spectral and real; this last fact is analysed in the text along with the project of dispersed identity, which the aforementioned binary inaugurates.
