    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

Surprise was key on this dark and balmy night in the Galilee. As stray dogs barked aim­ lessly at the darkened summer skies, the Border Guard anti-terrorist policemen clutched their M16 assault rifles and rriini-Uzi submachine guns. It had been a long and bloody day for the border policemen, and adrenaline was keeping them sharp and focused. Earlier that morning, at the Meron Junction near Safed, a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated himself on the Egged No. 361 bus, killing nine and wound­ ing dozens. The Shin Bet, masters at picking up the shattered remnants of the intelligence puzzle left in the wake of each suicide blast, had managed to assem­ ble a short Ust of men—and women—who had assist­ ed and transported the bomber, West Bank native Jihad Hamada, toward his target The fact that the sus­ pects, members of the noted Bakri clan, were IsraeU Arabs, fun-fledged citizens of the Jewish State, was inconsequential to the cops lined up outside the house in the village of Ba'ana.

  • The Jerusalem School: the Theopolitical Hour
    The Jerusalem School: The Theopolitical Hour Nitzan Lebovic Recent critical theory has brought together two different traditions of political theology. An intellectual history of the concept traces both to the German 1920s and the German Jewish 1940s. Carl Schmitt, the reactionary “crown jurist of the Third Reich,” initiated the first tradition; a small group of German Jews who immigrated to Palestine forged the second. Both traditions grew from a severe political crisis: in the earlier case, it was the German defeat of 1918; in the latter, the outbreak of World War II and the persecution of the Jews. Such moments show that when everything collapses, when life itself cannot be taken for granted, politics is simultaneously strengthened and under- mined. Quite recently we have seen the revival of both aspects of political theology in post-9/11 theory. As I show below, the history of political theology problematizes some current concepts used by Giorgio Agamben. A Time of Decision: Buber, Schmitt, Agamben In State of Exception (2005) Agamben writes: “The aim of this investigation into the urgency of the state of exception ‘in which we live’ was to bring to light the fiction that governs this arcanum imperii [secret of power] par excel- lence of our time.”1 Agamben insists that the state of exception, concentration I would like to thank Dana Hollander, Anson Rabinbach, and Martin Treml for their comments on earlier drafts of this article. 1.
