Exile at Home: Jewishness, Statelessness, Abandonment
media release: The Mosse/Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies presents Exile at Home: Jewishness, Statelessness, Abandonment
a lecture with Joyce Dalsheim, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Anthropologist Joyce Dalsheim will draw on her extensive ethnographic research in Israel/Palestine to consider some of the struggles over Jewishness in contemporary Israel. The talk will include thoughts and stories from Israelis across the socioreligious-political spectrum during Dalsheim’s post-October 7 trip to the field. Dalsheim will engage with questions of nationalism, sovereign citizenship, and self-determination, with attention to Hannah Arendt’s work on exile in the context of a shifting sense of abandonment among contemporary Israelis.
April 15, 4:00pm (Central Time), Union South, Lakewoods Room (3rd floor), 1308 W Dayton St. (Madison, WI)
This lecture will also be livestreamed, via Zoom, for anyone unable to attend in-person.
