Abstract:
This article studies the rise of Jewish urban history and argues for a diasporic reading of Jewish urban cultures that addresses three lenses: location, bilocation, and dislocation. The eighteenth-century history of Amsterdam Ashkenazim serves as a prime case study for analysing diasporic bilocation and the formation and growth of a local Amsterdam Jewish identity. Spatial practices demonstrate how Jews and non-Jews mixed and testify to the entangled nature of late early modern Jewish urban cultures.
