Parrhesia Talks: Anti-Anti-Semitism: Current Debates

In the organizer's words:

Elad Lapidot’s talk will reflect on the current function of the discourse concerning the fight against anti-Semitism, which he calls ‘anti-anti-Semitism’, as a guiding principle in shaping state policies and the deployment of state power and state violence. He draws on a range of current declarations, statements, and policy documents, such as the German federal parliament’s new draft resolution Nie wieder ist jetzt: Jüdisches Leben in Deutschland schützen, bewahren und stärken (Never again is now: Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany), as well as on various existing definition of anti-Semitism, such as the IHRA and the JDA. The talk engages with debates concerning the meaning and problems of the contemporary political function of anti-anti-Semitism from various points of view, not least with respect to the declared goal of preventing anti-Semitism.
