  • The 32Nd Conference of the Australian Association for Jewish Studies Imagining Jews: Jewish Imaginings
    The 32nd Conference of the Australian Association for Jewish Studies Imagining Jews: Jewish Imaginings 9–10 February 2020 Sydney Jewish Museum Cover image: The Falling Angel, 1923-47, by Marc Chagall. Matt Dertinger, thewhoo on Flickr licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0. https://flickr.com/photos/26002962@N07/4999091287 The 32nd Conference of the Australian Association for Jewish Studies Imagining Jews: Jewish Imaginings 9–10 February 2020 Sydney Jewish Museum Conference Convenors Dr Avril Alba Senior Lecturer in Holocaust Studies and Jewish Civilisation Department of Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish Studies School of Languages and Cultures, University of Sydney Dr Jan Láníček Senior Lecturer in Jewish and Modern European History School of Humanities and Languages, University of New South Wales Imagining Jews: Jewish Imaginings The publication of seminal texts such as Sander Gilman’s The Jew’s Body (1992) and more recent works including David Nirenberg’s Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition (2013) testify to the potency that ideas about Jews have had in the formation of broader philosophical and ideological world views. Ranging from philosemitic fantasies through to longstanding anti-Jewish caricatures, understanding how Jews have been ‘imagined’ across time and place can shed new light on both historic and contemporary views of Jews and Judaism. This conference seeks to focus on these imaginings and asks how they have shaped views about Jews within and beyond the Jewish world, over time and in the present. Further, it asks how the creation of these ‘Jewish imaginaries’ has influenced how Jews think about themselves and their own societies. Where have these ideas about Jews, their origins, culture and influence crossed over into Jewish thought and writing and what has been its effect? We look forward to two days of thought-provoking presentations and discussions focussed on these vital and enduring questions.

With 8,621 responses nationally, it is not only the largest such study ever conducted in Australia but one of the largest samples ever collected across the globe in a national Jewish community study. Even before considering the findings, this highlights the success, nature and engagement of our dedicated community. A survey is only as good as the willingness of participants to complete it.
