Jewish studies

The aim of the conference is to outline the actual involvement of Jews and activists of Jewish origin in the leftist movements of the 19th and 20th centuries from the perspective of individual motivations, ideological choices and personal biographies.

The aim of the conference is to outline the meaning of the term “Jewish intelligentsia” and to define its contexts — historical, social, cultural, linguistic, and literary. During two days of discussion, we would like to focus on the questions of when and how the category of the “Jewish intellectual” in Central and Central-Eastern Europe was formed. We are also interested in the subject of internal differences and divisions within the group.
