Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Since antiquity, Jews were and are victism of persecution and violence. Today, more than seventy years after the Shoah, antisemitic violence has become frighteningly commonplace. Genocide, expulision and other forms of physical violence against Jews are but a part of the their history of persecution. They are complemented by legislative, institutional, economic, cultural, and religious forms of persecution. This lecture class does not simply want to reiterate the persecution history of Judaism but will ask what motivated and motivates antisemitic persecutions and which objectives were pursued by their means. Examples for persecutions that I will adress in my lecture class include the Shoah, the Spanish inquisition, synagogue- and Talmud-burnings, discrediting the Jewish cultural memory, and Israel boycotts.
Assessment and permitted materials
A three page essay on select topics.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Based on my script, students need to be able to critically reflect antisemitic primary source and to contextualize them into the ideological history of antisemitism.
Students that argue in favor or antisemitic ideas will fail this class.
