˝Jewish Identity, Historiography and Gender Beyond Essentialism?”



6:00 p.m., Tuesday, 4 June 2013, Gellner Room







For more than two centuries historians, sociologists and scholars of religion have debated the nature of Jewishness and Jewish history. The confrontation of Jewish studies with women's studies and consecutively with gender studies complicated matters even further. The prevailing model of European Jewish history (/histories) has been and still is assimilation. In this model the Jewishness of Jewish history depends on the degree of integration: the greater the integration, the less Jewish the history. Can modern Jewish history be divested of essentialism and equated with more than cultural loss? This lecture will discuss old and new historiographical approaches to Jewish history, their presumptions regarding Jewish identity and their implications for gender studies.
