Reading Cities through Jewish Texts : Vilnius, Kiev, Saint-Petersburg ?
The lecture will discuss three representations of three cities, Vilnius, Kiev and St. Petersburg, drawing on a variety of texts written by Jewish authors in Yiddish, Hebrew, German, and Russian. Each one of these cities carries a certain mythological aura as a historical capital, but they also became “laboratories of Jewish modernity” at the turn of the 20th century. Can these diverse texts be read together as a multilingual “Jewish text” of a particular city ? What are specific markers of a particular Jewish cityscape, and how do they differ from one city to the other ? And finally, what is the impact of urban space on the formation of modern Jewish culture ?
