Abstract

This insight constructs and critiques a genealogy of Yiddish Digital Humanities through a critical analysis of the labelling practices of Stutchkoff and Weinreich’s Yiddish thesaurus, ‘Der oytser fun der yidisher shprakh’ (1950). Following Zaritt (2021), ‘Taytsh labeling’ and ‘Taytsh Digital Humanities’ are introduced as alternative methodological concepts, helpful for constructing a non-normativising Yiddish Digital Humanities.
