The Munich Research Centre for Jewish-Arabic Cultures at LMU is hosting a two-day masterclass with Dr. Rudy Kisler. In this masterclass, the participants will explore the relationship between representations of the past, contemporary cultural politics, and the present-day social norms and behaviors they promote.
Drawing on his research on Jewish-Zionist heritage-making in contemporary Israel, Dr. Kisler will examine both state-sanctioned heritage policies designed to convey national mythologies and local heritage-making practices. In this context, he will present insights from his ongoing Volkswagen Momentum project on the cultural landscape of Bar'am/Bir'am.
The masterclass is part of the Volkswagen Momentum Workshop "Rethinking Jewish Cultures beyond Europe".
