SUMMARY:Zionism and Emotion: Love\, Fear\, and Guilt
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Derek Penslar of Harvard University will consider Zionism\, and by extension all forms of modern nationalism\, as expressions of emotion. Like emotions\, nationalisms vary\, and Zionism has\, in different times and places\, conformed to erotic\, spiritual\, parental\, and companionate forms of human feeling and attachment. \nThe talk will span the history of the Zionist project\, demonstrating the positive effects of emotions as a source of strength and sacrifice\, but also showing how and when nationalistic emotions have catalyzed the hatred of others. \nThe talk draws on Penslar’s research for his current book project\,”Zionism: An Emotional State” (for Rutgers University Press’ “Keywords in Jewish Studies” series). \n  \nThis event is cosponsored by the Middle East Center and Department of History. \nAbout the Speaker\nDerek Penslar is the William Lee Frost Professor of Modern Jewish History at Harvard University. His work encompasses the history of the Jews in modern West and Central Europe\, North America\, and Palestine/Israel. He is particularly interested in the relationship between modern Israel and diaspora Jewish societies\, global nationalist movements\, European colonialism\, and post-colonial states. \nPenslar has taught at Indiana University\, Bloomington\, the University of Toronto\, and Oxford University\, where he served as the inaugural Stanley Lewis Professor of Modern Israel Studies from 2012 until 2016. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and President of the American Academy for Jewish Research. \nPenslar has authored or edited ten books\, including “Shylock’s Children: Economics and Jewish Identity in Modern Europe” (2001)\, “Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective” (2006)\, “The Origins of the State of Israel: A Documentary History” (2011)\, “Jews and the Military: A History” (2013) and “Theodor Herzl: The Charismatic Leader” (forthcoming in Yale University Press’ “Jewish Lives” series). \n

SUMMARY:Jews and Human Rights: Forgotten Past\, Uncertain Future
DESCRIPTION:The year 2018 marks the seventieth anniversary of both the state of Israel and the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Both remain tied together in the ongoing debates about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict\, global anti-Semitism\, and American foreign policy. Yet the surprising connections between Zionism and the origins of international human rights are completely unknown today. \nDrawing on his recent book\, “Rooted Cosmopolitans: Jews and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century\,” Professor James Loeffler will explain how and why Jews helped to build the modern human rights movement\, and what this recovered history reveals about the future of both Jewish politics and international law. \nAbout the speaker\nJames Loeffler is Professor of History and the inaugural holder of the Berkowitz Endowed Chair in Jewish History at the University of Virginia. He is the author of “Rooted Cosmopolitans: Jews and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century” (2018) and “The Most Musical Nation: Jews and Culture in the Late Russian Empire” (2010)\, and co-editor of “The Law of Strangers: Jewish Lawyers and International Law in Historical Perspective” (2019). Professor Loeffler’s writing has also appeared in the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, Slate\, Mosaic\, Tablet\, and Haaretz.\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n
