Subject: LL-L Events

The institute of Jewish studies in Antwerp organizes courses in Hebrew and
Yiddish, but also seminars on a variety of topics. Some of these seminars
are philosophical and difficult to follow. Nex week they have an easy one,
focussed on Jewish history in the low countries.

I think they expect more people this time for this full day event, since
this time the lunch is for the speakers only. But there are quite a lot of
cosy eateries in the area, so this should not be a problem.

*Subject:* Reminder: International Conference: Places of Encounter

 *The Institute of Jewish Studies is pleased to announce the International
Conference*

*Places of Encounter – Jews and Non-Jews in the Low Countries between 1500
and 1800
*to be held at the University of Antwerp (Hof van Liere, Prinsstraat 13,
2000 Antwerp) on Thursday 14 March 2013**

The Early Modern Period (ca.1500-1800) is a period of great change.
Evolutions such as accelerated mobility, a steep increase in the production
and dissemination of knowledge, and the blurring of religious identities
all have far-reaching consequences for the Jewish experience. Central to
these changes in Jewish life was the exposure to other groups. The
interaction, confrontation and collaboration in the Low Countries between
Sephardim and Ashkenazim, between New Christians and New Jews, and between
Jews and non-Jews, was unprecedented, presenting all involved with new
religious, intellectual, legal and economic challenges.
The character of these encounters, often troubled and always complex, was
shaped, determined, facilitated and/or symbolized by the space in which
they occurred: the stock exchange, the printing house, the university, the
court of law, the theatre... Each space had its own rules, dangers,
challenges and possibilities, its own mechanisms of interaction.
Inspired by Prof. dr. David Ruderman’s study *Early Modern Jewry: A New
Cultural History* (Princeton 2010), this conference explores the Early
Modern Jewish experience and the related places of intellectual, artistic,
scholarly, economic, religious or political encounter.

*Organizing Committee*: Dr. Timothy De Paepe, Dr. Theodor Dunkelgrün
*Scientific Committee*: Prof. dr. Vivian Liska, Prof. dr. David Ruderman,
Prof. dr. Shlomo Berger, Prof. dr. Guido Marnef
