SUMMARY:New Works Wednesday with Dina Danon
DESCRIPTION:The ASF Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nNew Works Wednesday with Dina Danon \nJoin us for a New Works Wednesday with Dr. Dina Danon who will be discussing her book The Jews of Ottoman Izmir: A Modern History (Stanford University Press\, 2020)\, a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award in Sephardic Culture. \nWednesday\, 2 February  \n@ 9AM PDT ◊ 12PM EST ◊ 5PM London ◊ 7PM Jerusalem ◊ 8PM Dubai \nAbout the book:\nThis lecture will tell the story of a long-overlooked Ottoman Jewish community in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing extensively on a rich body of previously untapped Ladino archival material\, the lecture will also offer a new read on Jewish modernity. Across Europe\, Jews were often confronted with the notion that their religious and cultural distinctiveness was somehow incompatible with the modern age. Yet the view from Ottoman Izmir invites a different approach: what happens when Jewish difference is totally unremarkable? What happens when there is no “Jewish Question?” Through the voices of beggars on the street and mercantile elites\, shoe-shiners and newspaper editors\, rabbis and housewives\, this lecture will underscore how it was new attitudes to poverty and social class\, not Judaism\, that most significantly framed this Sephardi community’s encounter with the modern age. \nAbout the author:\nDina Danon is Associate Professor of Judaic Studies at Binghamton University. She holds a doctorate in History from Stanford University. She is the author of She was recently a fellow at the Katz Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, where she began work on a new project on the marketplace of matchmaking\, marriage\, and divorce in the eastern Sephardi diaspora. She is currently at work\, with Nancy Berg\, on a co-edited volume entitled Longing and Belonging: Jews and Muslims in the Modern Age. \nFor here more about the book. \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
