“The Duties of the Heart”: Emotions and Feelings in Judaism between Tradition and the Present Day
Silvana Greco
Comments
In Jewish religion and tradition, emotions and affects are seen as an important part of human nature and a crucial dimension of the human condition, and they're a big part of Jewish rituals and holidays. The course focuses on the analysis of various emotions and affects in different areas and historical periods of Jewish life from a historical-sociological perspective: love and fear of God in the sacred texts of the Torah; aesthetic emotions and the emotional community of writers in the present day; fear, anger, and shame in times of anti-Semitism (from the Shoah to the present day); hope for the reconstruction of life in the diaspora after World War II up to Israeli society.
