We are at the beginning of a long intellectual and ideological struggle… It is about everything democrats have long fought for: the truth without fear, no matter one’s religion or political beliefs. The new antisemitism threatens all of humanity.” - Denis MacShane, Former Labor member of the British House of Commons THE INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM gratefully acknowledges the support of the following individuals, whose generosity has helped to make this conference possible: Justin M.

INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM INDIANA UNIVERSITY Robert A. and Sandra S. Borns Jewish Studies Program Bloomington April 5, 2014 Indiana University’s INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM (hereafter ISCA) is devoted to carrying on high-level scholarly research into present-day manifestations of anti-Jewish animosity. We focus especially on the intellectual and ideological roots of the “new” antisemitism and seek to elucidate the social, cultural, religious, and political forces that nurture such hostility. Through intensive research on specific topics by faculty members and students on the Bloomington campus and through the sponsorship of regular lectures, colloquia, and national and international conferences involving scholars from other universities, ISCA aims to clarify the causes and conse- quences of contemporary antagonism to Judaism and the Jews.

  • REVIEWS MUDIMBE, VY, the Invention of Africa
    REVIEWS MUDIMBE, V. Y., The Invention of Africa: Gnosis, Philosophy, and the Order of Knowledge, Bloomington, Indiana University Press, 1988, 241 pp., 0 253 33126 9. Valentin Y. Mudimbe's The Invention of Africa is a landmark achievement in African studies. It is not about African systems of thought as such, but the forms of knowledge which represent them, including scholarly discourse on African religion. The book examines the foundations of African philosophy as constructed by the West within the history of Africanist discourse, and appropriated by African critics and scholars throughout the conti- nent. The study is historically grounded, philosophically dazzling, and theoretically quite radical, providing the Africanist equivalent of Edward Said's Orientalism. But unlike Said, Mudimbe also examines how the Other writes back by including African scholars who have worked within the limits of imposed languages and epistemological frames. For this monumental accomplishment, Mudimbe received the 1989 Herskovits Award. Mudimbe's study traces a grand genealogy from Herodotus, through Western history, to missionary rhetoric, anthropology, and contemporary developments in African theology and philoso- phy. Mudimbe follows Foucault's "archeological" method of excavating the implicit knowledge/power relations of evangelical paradigms, colonial sciences, anthropological taxonomies, black nationalist discourses and African philosophical debates. Each of the five major chapters is packed with bibliographic commentary and critical exegesis that bring together work in English, French, German and Italian-a humbling reminder to many Anglophone readers that much valuable material remains untranslated from other European (and former colonial) languages. Within this cor- nucopia of interpretive traditions, a number of powerful theses emerge.

  • The Anti-Lynching Crusaders: a Study of Black Women’S Activism
    THE ANTI-LYNCHING CRUSADERS: A STUDY OF BLACK WOMEN’S ACTIVISM by TIFFANY A. PLAYER (Under the Direction of Diane Batts Morrow) ABSTRACT In June 1922, the Anti-Lynching Crusaders created a mass social movement, led by black women, to eradicate lynching. Over the course of six months, ALC leaders, under the auspices of the NAACP, mobilized a network of experienced club and church women to harness the anger and vulnerability of the black community into a viable reform endeavor, to influence the moral consciousness of white Americans and to secure passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Led by veteran clubwoman, Mary Burnett Talbert, members used prayers, newspaper ads, and community gatherings to compel its biracial audiences to broaden their view of lynching from a regional race problem to an issue of national import. They also pledged to raise one million dollars and mobilize one million supporters. The ALC used religious and moralistic language to refute any rationale for race violence. Their efforts succeeded in broadening the base of anti- lynching supporters. INDEX WORDS: Anti-Lynching Crusaders, Black women’s reform, Anti-Lynching Reform, NAACP, Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, Mary B.

    From Orientalism to Area Studies Biray Kolluoglu-Kirli CR: The New Centennial Review, Volume 3, Number 3, Fall 2003, pp. 93-111 (Article) Published by Michigan State University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/ncr.2004.0007 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/51622 Access provided at 6 Jan 2020 15:30 GMT from Bodleian Libraries of the University of Oxford From Orientalism to Area Studies B IRAY K OLLUOGLU-KIRLI Bogazici University I NTRODUCTION United States President George W. Bush’s 2002 State of the Union speech, following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11 the previous year, represents the solidification of a discourse marked by naked aggression against the “un-civilized” world. In that speech, months-long hatred and frustration culminated in the delineation of the “axis of evil.” Both the American president’s and other government repre- sentatives’ public discourse incessantly evoked images of “civilization” being under attack and being threatened and, hence, in need of saving. In the reigning understanding, civilization, without any adjective in front of it, refers to the “Western civilization” and is defined in opposition to the “non- Western,” and if we carry the antithetical reasoning to its logical conse- quence, to the “un-civilized” world. The relationship of hierarchy and further-refined definitions of these categories were nakedly spelled out by the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who, in late September 2001, unabashedly proclaimed the superiority of the Western civilization over the Islamic world. I am beginning this article by reiterating these well-known contemporary observations to underline one point: Berlusconi, Bush, and ● 93 94 ● From Orientalism to Area Studies others can invoke these categories of good/evil, civilized/uncivilized, Western/Eastern without any hesitation precisely because they represent the tip of an iceberg whose enormous body itself goes deep in the ocean of Western epistemology and the imaginary.

A n d S A n d ra S . b o R n S J ew i S h S T u d i e S P Ro g ra m Jason Mokhtarian Tracy Judah Cohen Alvin Rosenfeld Annual Magazine I Volume 48 I Fall 2020 From the Outgoing Director The approaching end of my two terms as Director of the Borns Jewish Studies Program (JSP) prompts me to reflect on all the constituencies that make this job so meaningful, and together define our program. There are our versatile, multifaceted, and committed undergraduates, whose energy and intelligence enable them to master so many different demands alongside each graduates’ Jewish Studies (JS) major, certificate, or minor. The intimate online graduation ceremony we conducted this year, (see small photos on cover page), where a different faculty member talked about each senior, brought out their passion and quality more clearly than ever. There is our tightknit group of high-powered graduate students, extending knowledge in JS from biblical analysis through to the sociology of contemporary Israel. Our graduate conference is an annual reminder of their range and sophistication, and their ability to attract faculty and graduate students from all over the US and beyond to present and debate. There is our internationally renowned and interdisciplinary faculty, newly rejuvenated with three outstanding appointments in the fields of Hebrew Bible, modern antisemitism, and memory studies. Their intense commitment to our students is the glue that holds the program together — as Mark Roseman was again so evident in our graduation ceremony.
