Anders aber als in den Deutungen der frühen dramatischen Schriften [...] ist 'Die Harzreise' bislang nicht als eine für die Topographie des jüdischen Gedächtnisses entscheidende Wegmarke eingeschätzt und interpretiert worden. Dies verwundert um so mehr, da "Die Harzreise" im Kontext eines ausgiebigen Studiums der "historia judaica" entstanden ist.
Robert S. C. Gordon's article 'Pasolini as Jew, Between Israel and Europe' examines a remarkable trope in Pasolini's encounter with the cultures and geographies of Europe and its beyond: his imaginary identification with the figure of the Jew. Gordon examines in turn the site of Israel and its Jewish citizens; the 'Lager' and the Jews as victims of genocide; and finally the figure of Saint Paul and his earlier Jewish identity as Saul, both sacred and a figure of the Law, as a model for the twentieth-century Church and its ambiguous response to Nazism. In all three of these threads, Pasolini's Jew is a 'queer' and destabilizing trope for exploring the border of the European and the non-European, the self and the other.
