Workshop: Ambiguities of Exile
King’s College London, 2 December 2024
How do notions of “exile” and “diaspora” diverge, converge, blend into each other and unsettle each other in Jewish thought and the imagination? How did Jewish writing begin to reflect on ambiguities of exile, home and return already in ancient contexts, and how did such reflections evolve through references to biblical and other classical texts in early modern and modern times?This experimental workshop, jointly organised by Rebekah Van Sant (University of Oxford) and Andrea Schatz (King’s College London), seeks to bring sources from antiquity to the present moment into conversation with each other to explore these questions from fresh angles.
