Abstract:
Describes the establishment of a new institute (Forschungskolleg) for research on the development of modern antisemitism at the Technische Universität Berlin. Argues that the change in the nature of anti-Jewish prejudice during the period 1879-1914 was determined by a change in the status of the Jews: from a marginal religious group in a world governed by religion, to a deviant religious-cultural group at the center of bourgeois society. The antisemitism was directed against the Jews' economic and social success, and took many forms: semantic, political, social, cultural, religious, and was occasionally violent. The institute will concentrate on studying transnational influences. Summarizes twelve proposed postdoctoral projects, each on a different European country. The aim is to examine to what extent antisemitism was common to most European countries or specific to a particular country, and the extent that present-day antisemitism has roots in the past.
