Round-table: Concepts of Mobility in Medieval and Early Modern Jewish Studies: Sephardic and Ashkenazic Perspectives
Co-organized by
Andrea Schatz and
Julian Weiss (King's College London)
"Mobility" has recently been emphasised as a major feature of the beginnings of Jewish modernity, starting with the expulsion of Sephardic Jews from the Iberian peninsula and new Sephardic-Ashkenazic encounters across Europe. At the same time, it is obvious that intellectual, cultural, and social mobility was quite characteristic of the medieval world too. The round-table will explore and compare forms of mobility, migration, and "cultural traffic" in medieval and early modern times and question common assumptions about the nexus between mobility and modernity.
Participants include: Dr Hilary Pomery (UCL), Dr Andrea Schatz (King's), Professor Julian Weiss (King's), Dr Sizen Yiacoup (University of Liverpool), and Dr Adam Sutcliffe (King's).
