English summary: The increasing concentration on (geographic) space as a cultural quantity, proliferated by the spatial turn, has particular importance for the cultural and literary research of Judaism: Here, the semantic representations of concepts critical for Jewish culture and history, such as home and exile or the relationship between center (Palestine) and periphery (the Diaspora), are scrutinized. This anthology, edited by Klavida Smola and Olaf Terpitz, consider the constructions of space and topographic projections in Jewish culture from a Slavic perspective. For that reason, the cultures and literatures of minorities are not the only interests in these studies but also the distinguishing places of plural existence in Eastern Europe. Historical concepts of identity and (heteromedial) poetics as well as specific linguistic constructions of Judeo-Slavic spaces are topographically and geoculturally analyzed. The volume thematically embraces the reconstruction and revision of places and spaces in the various media of aesthetic expression: in literature, performance, and film. It explores the visual, multimedia, and musical practices of historical analysis provided by young artists, myth-making cultural mechanisms of the late Soviet-era Jewish dissent prose, poetic spaces, memorial spaces of post-Soviet literature, Jewish heterocultural and heterolingual urban spaces in featured sections about the previous fin-de-siecle, ironic spatial reconstruction in early Soviet-era picaresque novels, as well as the linguo-cultural living with and against each other in the concentration-camp Theresienstadt. German description: Die mit dem spatial turn sich vermehrt entwickelnde Fokussierung auf den (geografischen) Raum als kulturelle Grosse hat fur die kultur- und literaturwissenschaftliche Erkundung des Judentums eine ganz besondere Bedeutung: Hier werden semantische Reprasentationen der fur die judische Kultur und Geschichte zentralen Begriffe von Heimat und Exil oder des Verhaltnisses zwischen Zentrum (Palastina) und Peripherie (Diaspora) hinterfragt. Der von Klavdia Smola und Olaf Terpitz herausgegebene Sammelband widmet sich den Raumkonstruktionen und topografischen Projektionen in judischen Kulturen unter einem slavistischen Blickwinkel. Dabei stehen nicht allein minoritare Kulturen und Literaturen im Mittelpunkt des Interesses, sondern speziell die sie auszeichnenden Orte pluraler Existenz in Osteuropa. Historische Identitatskonzepte und (heteromediale) Poetiken, aber auch spezifische Sprachkonstrukte slavisch-judischer Raume werden topografisch und geokulturell analysiert. Thematisch erfasst der Band die Rekonstruktion und Reaktualisierung von Orten und Raumen in verschiedenen Medien des asthetischen Ausdrucks: in Literatur, Performance und Film. Es werden visuelle, multimediale und museale Praktiken der jungsten kunstlerischen Geschichtsanalysen, mythenbildende Kulturmechanismen der spatsowjetischen judischen Dissens-Prosa, Gedachtnisraume der postkommunistischen Literatur, judische heterokulturelle und -linguale urbane Raume im Feuilleton um die vorletzte Jahrhundertwende, ironische Raumkonstruktionen im fruhsowjetischen Schelmenroman sowie das sprachkulturelle Neben- und Gegeneinander des KZ Theresienstadt erkundet.
