This dissertation engages with modern Jewish manifestations of hope and despair, focusing on their interplay within secular and religious texts and cultural phenomena. Understanding these emotions as culturally mediated phenomena that interrelate with political forces, this study traces the modalities of hope and despair in modern Hebrew literature through the prose writing of Yosef Ḥaim Brenner (1881-1921) and the poetry of Yehuda Amichai (1924-2000). It examines the ways in which their texts mobilize these emotions in order to offer a new set of ethical and political perspectives. While each of these two writers differs in tone and each represents different modern sensibilities, this study shows how both complicate and problematize conventional notions of hope and despair. They stand at the nexus between religious life and secularism, and by embodying these emotions, they further problematize the distinction between the sacred and the secular in modern politics, thereby fulfilling ethical functions. This dissertation provides the first comparative study of these two writers, discussing their ethical visions through a hermeneutic of emotions. The main theoretical perspective of this study is Affect Theory, which provides the basis for thinking about emotions as public, dynamic forces that are neither stagnant nor inert. Thus, it serves as a useful tool for exploring the mobilization of such emotions and the ways in which they intersect with ethical questions. Engaging affect theorists such as Sara Ahmed, Ann Cvetkovich, Heather Love, and Eve Sedgwick, this dissertation proposes that emotions serve as a basis for dissent, illuminating the ways in which affect is transmitted within certain political contexts and in different temporal modalities. By considering hope and despair as emotions that constitute the Jewish "archive of feeling," this dissertation explores their transformations from traditional paradigms, such as the Destruction and Redemption paradigm, to modern texts belonging to a post-sacred era. It shows how these paradigms effect modern Hebrew writers, and the same constitutive emotions prove just as ethically challenging to modern notions of hope and despair. In considering affects as central to political and social life, this study differs from earlier Hebrew literary scholarship which dealt with the intermingling of the sacred and the secular in Hebrew culture primarily through intertextual approaches.
