Abstract
- This article analyzes the context of anti-Judaism and theatricality in medieval culture. Medieval theatricality is represented as one of the culture's means of defining Christian and Jew, self and Other, and of policing boundaries between the normal and aberrant. Theatricality refers to a kind of constitutive trope. Medieval anti-Judaism has its roots in the vexed relation of the Christian Bible to the Hebrew Bible.
