Lecture: Negotiating French, Maghreb-French and Jewish Identities Through Literature
Hall
Speakers): Maurice Samuels, Emanuela Trevisan Semi, Cohen-Tannoudji
This series of talks seeks to enhance a new dialogue between different plural voices writing about multiple Jewish identities originating from France and the Maghreb. Special focus on conflicting and co-existing identities and the ways in which they are presented in literature and history. The goal of the project is to look beyond the much discussed hybrid identity of widely translated writers and scholars, and present a more inclusive, rich, and complex perspective on the unique interplay between Jewish, French and/or Maghreb identities.
