This conference aims at contextualizing Hebrew literature and exploring its creation from a European Jewish Studies and Hebrew Literature scholarly perspective. Moreover, we would like to establish a connection with researchers focusing also on the reception and perception of the rising Hebrew literature from the perspective of its surrounding cultures, mainly Yiddish, German, French, and various Eastern European literary traditions. Deadline for abstracts: 27 July 2024.
