Jewish Textual Architectures | Jewish Spaces, Places, and Architectures in Literature
Dr. Sonja Dickow-Rotter (Institute for the History of the German Jews) and Dipl.-Ing. Mirko Przystawik (Bet Tfila - Research Unit for Jewish Architecture) have jointly published the online anthology “Jewish Textual Architectures | Jewish Spaces, Places, and Architectures in Literature”, that went online a few days ago at https://jewish-textual-architectures.online/.
The online anthology highlights selected textual sources of various genres (fictional/non-fictional) from the Haskalah to the period after the Second World War, which provide information on the significance of Jewish architecture, spaces and urban sites for the construction and self-understanding of Jewish cultural heritage. Interpretations embed the exemplary sources in their contexts of creation and reception. Users can access the contributions via various access points (genres/topics/map/timeline) and search and filter them as required. All texts are provided with metadata.
The online anthology is part of the DFG project “Constructions of Jewish Cultural Heritage in Theoretical-Critical and Literary Texts on Architecture and Space”, which the project partners are working on as part of the DFG Priority Program 2357 “Jewish Cultural Heritage”.
New contributions will be added to the online anthology throughout the duration of the project.
If you have any questions and/or are interested in contributing to the online anthology as an author, please contact Dr. Sonja Dickow-Rotter (sonja.dickow[at]igdj-hh.de) and/or Dipl.-Ing. Mirko Przystawik (m.przystawik[at]tu-braunschweig.de).
