Please join us for a talk by Hannah Tzuberi, “We are all Jews”: Moral Nation-Building and Anti-Antisemitism. This lecture is part of the Critical Theories in Antisemitism Series
Hannah Tzuberi is a researcher of contemporary Jewry with a focus on post-Holocaust (German) nation-building and the moral economies underlying the politicking of the present.
This talk will focus on the embrace of the figure of the Jew in post-unification German political discourse and this embrace's foundational importance for German political identity. By outlining the contours of the state's memory- and revival-politics, it will argue that the defense of the figure of the Jew now enables both the dismantling of democratic rights and the non-recognition of human rights.
