- Inhalt
- While Britain and the United States have contributed greatly to the promotion of liberal ideals like justice, tolerance and equality, one should not ignore the ugly underbelly of narrow-mindedness, prejudice and bigotry that has also existed. That anti-Semitism has proved to be one of the most enduring and baneful forms of hostility can partly be attributed to its ability to transform – “like a virus, it mutates,” as Jonathan Sacks, the former Orthodox Chief Rabbi of the UK, put it in a speech in the House of Commons on September 13, 2018.
This advanced seminar in literary and cultural studies will look at many of the mutations of the disease from the early modern period until today. Christian anti-Judaism did not only decry the Jewish religion as callous and legalistic, but accused its followers of blindness, stubbornness and clannishness. Ultimately, Jews were blamed for the death of Christ. Racial forms of anti-Semitism, which developed in the course of the 19th century, elaborated on these ancient prejudices, hallucinating about unsavory Jewish character traits, filthy bodies and licentious practices. The irrational character of anti-Jewish racism is nowhere better illustrated than in the grand conspiracies Jews were suspected of scheming.
Drawing upon a plethora of texts and phenomena, the seminar will elucidate these elements in their historical contexts. Questions addressed in the seminar include, but are not limited to, the following: How is the issue of Jewishness and anti-Semitism negotiated in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice? In what way did nineteenth-century physiognomic theories reflect anti-Semitic ideas? To what extent does Charles Dickens' character Fagin in Oliver Twist epitomize anti-Semitic stereotypes? What was the impact of the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion on early-twentieth century attitudes towards the Jews? What role did Henry Ford play in the promotion of anti-Semitism in the US? Who followed Nazi ideology in Britain and the US in the 1930s and ‘40s? What Jewish institutions combatted anti-Semitism in America? How has anti-Semitism been portrayed by Jewish-American authors? What are the connections between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism? What is the debate about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's anti-Semitism all about?
