INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

JEWISH SPACE IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: DAY-TO-DAY HISTORY

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Center for Studies of the Culture and History of East European Jews =
in cooperation with the Lithuanian Institute of History invites to =
participate in the second international scientific conference on 8-9 May =
2006. The topic of the conference is Jewish Space in Central and Eastern =
Europe: Day-to-day History. The key aim of the conference is to discuss =

The organizers of the conference perceive Jewish space as diverse forms =
of life and relations developing in the rich context of urbanism, social =
life, economic expression, and coexistence with the non-Jewish world. =
Having undergone various transformations, the Jewish space has preserved =
its authenticity and individuality. The organizers of the conference are =
interested in the distinction of the Jewish space, its representation in =
everyday life, and the communication with non-Jewish environment.

The reports presenting the following sections of Jewish space are =
welcome:

- "Regular" and "unusual" Jewish space: town (Jewish street, Jewish =
quarter, ghetto); shtetl; village; agricultural settlement; grange.

- Types of community (kahal, lesser kahal ("podkahalek")) and =
peculiarities of traditional life determined by them (range of authority =
of vaad, rabbinic court, and community rabbi; choice of the =
burial-ground); the activities of social, educational and cultural =
institutions.

- Space of communication: store and delivery trade, market, fair, tavern =
and inn, coaching inns and travels, the institution of rent, mutual =
assistance, leisure and entertainment (salons, clubs, sport).

Center for Studies of the Culture and History of East European Jews,
