Aufgrund der großen HörerInnenzahl dupliziert Prof. Lange diese und bietet die LV zusätzlich auch Donnerstags 10:00-11:30, im HS 1 des Instituts an.
Wir ersuchen diejenigen, die diesen Termin wahrnehmen können, statt Mittwochs auf den Donnerstag auszuweichen, damit die Hörsaalsituation erträglicher wird. Die LV-Inhalte werden an beiden Tagen die Gleichen sein.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The persecution and rejection of Jews and Judaism is not an invention of modern times. It begins in Hellenistic times with work of Manetho. A long list of pagan Greek and Latin authors as well as Christian, Muslim and secular literatures attest to the popularity of antisemitism. Jews suffered from hatred and persecution from (Christian) antiquity until today. This lecture class is not interested in simply surveying the history of antisemitism but will ask for the causes and the character of antisemitism. It perceives antisemitism as a religious ´phenomenon that expresses itself differently in the various cultures of the world and in the epochs of its history.
