Workshop: "Dialogical Textures. Theory and the German-Jewish Literary Tradition"

October 12, 2014

This second workshop of the Cooperative Research Project Dialogical Textures was organized by Galili Shahar (Tel Aviv University) and Susanne Zepp (Freie Universität Berlin) in cooperation with the Dahlem Humanities Center and was dedicated to conjoint readings of texts from the German-Jewish literary tradition.

The workshop was designed in the framework of Chavruta, "learning–together", that implies the concentrated joint studying of key-texts of theoretical significance. The task of this workshop was gaining a new theoretical experience of what is tradition, dealing with issues such as textuality and language, the notion of study, sacredness and secularism, the gender-difference and the critique of violence. The goal of the workshop was to define the German-Jewish literary tradition as a field of study and to discuss future research directions.
