Die jüdische Wunde
- Location:
- Im Wizemann, Quellenstr. 7, 70376 STUTTGART
The Germans love Nathan. But Lessing's stage character was unable to fulfill the hope that one day it would no longer matter whether someone was Jewish. And when Hannah Arendt accepted the Lessing Prize in 1959, in her acceptance speech she explicitly spoke out against the idea of assimilation, which would ultimately lead to the disappearance of Jewish identity. The Jewish dilemma between assimilation and autonomy has not been resolved since the Enlightenment - the state of Israel is also caught in this tension between secular and religious identity. Natan Sznaider is convinced that this contradiction will never disappear. "What speaks against it," argues the Israeli sociologist, "accepting it and recognizing that we are, after all, equal as unequals?"
In conversation with literary scholar Prof. Tina Hartmann, who wrote in "Forget Kant! What was and is the Enlightenment really?" (Reclam), Sznaider presents his new book "Die Jüdische Wunde. Life between Adaptation and Autonomy" (Hanser, 2024).
The event takes place as part of the AboutPop Convention.
