Zusammenfassung

We are putting together a proposal for one session at the World Congress of Jewish Studies focused on Jewish perceptions of the revolutionary period in Europe (1789-1814). Our goal is to generate a discussion about Jewish responses to the French revolutionary transition and emancipatory paradigm in the European broader context, as we believe that Jewish sympathies and resistances should be reconsidered from a multidisciplinary perspective involving political as well as cultural, religious, social and economic issues.

Argument

We are putting together a proposal for one session at the World Congress of Jewish Studies focused on Jewish perceptions of the revolutionary period in Europe (1789-1814). Our goal is to generate a discussion about Jewish responses to the French revolutionary transition and emancipatory paradigm in the European broader context, as we believe that Jewish sympathies and resistances should be reconsidered from a multidisciplinary perspective involving political as well as cultural, religious, social and economic issues.

We seek to raise questions about Jewish connections with Jacobinism and revolutionary movements, Jewish ways of access into political arenas, Jewish senses of citizenship and visions of emancipation. We also suggest to contextualise anti-revolutionary resistances and conservative positions among Jewish individuals and communities, as against consideration of Christian majority standpoints and local situations.

We thus invite lecturers to deal with issues such as Jewish views and perceptions of transition, emancipation, politicisation and social order. Papers on Jewish political traditions and self-representations are particularly welcome, as much as biographies of Jewish persona from the revolutionary period in Europe. We also call for lectures dealing with Jewish written responses to revolutionary events, such as private records and journals, individual and collective accounts, political press and poetry, appeals and petitions. Papers based on study of rabbinical rulings and judgements, community resolutions and special rituals, are to be taken into great consideration. 

We invite panellists to adopt approaches of social sciences, as well as to consider textual analysis and linguistic investigation for the reading of their primary sources. Presentations of works in progress and methodological considerations are also welcome.
