Text und Gewalt. Antisemitismus in der Literatur

Workshop with Eva Marburg and Kathrin Hain:

Art and culture are influential repositories of knowledge - in which anti-Semitism often remains overlooked or unrecognized. Anti-Semitic narratives, imagery and worldviews can be perpetuated, transformed and adapted here. When working with literature in artistic and cultural contexts, it is therefore important to recognize how anti-Semitism can appear and have an effect in texts. This analysis strengthens the ability to deal professionally with the sometimes heated debates about anti-Semitism in the cultural sector.

The workshop uses theoretical input and concrete examples to introduce the effects of literary anti-Semitism. It is intended as an invitation to interested parties and those working in the arts and culture to engage with the traditional manifestations of anti-Semitism in a literary context and to develop a sensitivity for dealing with them.
