“Urban Memories: 

Italian Jewish Women and the Cities of their Minds”

 

by

 

Silvia Cresti

Tuesday, November 21 at 6 p.m.

Gellner Room, V. Nádor utca 9

 

This lecture will address the relationship between memories of Italian
Jewish women written between the second half of the nineteenth century and
the early twentieth century in Italian cities. Similar to the general
Italian identity, which is mainly urban, identities of Italian Jews and
their memoirs are shaped by and speak about the city where they were born
and raised. But the perspective from which the city is defined is gendered.
Even for those women like Amalia Rosselli and Natalia Ginzburg, who defined
themselves politically, the city preserves traits of a private, familiar
sphere and is not directly linked to a grand narrative and grand politics as
it is in Primo Levi’s The Periodic Table.    

 

 

Dr. Silvia Cresti, born and raised in Basle, Switzerland, earned degrees
