In the pre-modern world Jewish identity was
centered on religion but expressed as well in how one made a living, what
clothes one wore, and what language one spoke. In modern times, Jewish culture
became more voluntary and more fractured. While some focused on Judaism as
(only) a religion, both the most radical and the most typical way in which
Jewishness was redefined was in secular terms. In this course we will explore
the intellectual, social, and political movements that led to new secular
definitions of Jewish culture and identity in the modern period. We will focus
on examples drawn from Western and Eastern Europe but will also look at
American and Israeli societies. Topics will include the Haskalah (Jewish
enlightenment), acculturation and assimilation, modern Jewish politics including
Zionism, and Jewish literature in Hebrew, Yiddish, and European languages.
