The 32nd Conference of the Australian Association for Jewish Studies
Imagining Jews: Jewish Imaginings
Conference ConvenorsDr Avril AlbaSenior Lecturer in Holocaust Studies and Jewish CivilisationDepartment of Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish StudiesSchool of Languages and Cultures, University of Sydney
Dr Jan LáníčekSenior Lecturer in Jewish and Modern European HistorySchool of Humanities and Languages, University of New South Wales
Imagining Jews: Jewish Imaginings The publication of seminal texts such as Sander Gilman’s The Jew’s Body (1992) and more recent works including David Nirenberg’s Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition (2013) testify to the potency that ideas about Jews have had in the formation of broader philosophical and ideological world views. Ranging from philosemitic fantasies through to longstanding anti-Jewish caricatures, understanding how Jews have been ‘imagined’ across time and place can shed new light on both historic and contemporary views of Jews and Judaism. This conference seeks to focus on these imaginings and asks how they have shaped views about Jews within and beyond the Jewish world, over time and in the present. Further, it asks how the creation of these ‘Jewish imaginaries’ has influenced how Jews think about themselves and their own societies. Where have these ideas about Jews, their origins, culture and influence crossed over into Jewish thought and writing and what has been its effect? We look forward to two days of thought-provoking presentations and discussions focussed on these vital and enduring questions.
The 32nd Conference of the Australian Association for Jewish Studies is supported by the Department of Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish. Studies, University of Sydney, the School of Humanities and Languages, University of New South Wales and the Sydney Jewish Museum.

In 2000, he joined the faculty of the Department for Hebrew, Biblical andJewish Studies at the University of Sydney. In December 2014 Kwiet retired asPratt Foundation Professor in Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies, stilloffering his services as casual lecturer. He continues to work as the ResidentHistorian at the Sydney Jewish Museum, a position he took up 28 years ago.

Abstracts – Professor Sander L. Gilman
You, too, could walk like a Gentile: Jews and Posture
How we stand and move – our posture and gait – defines us as healthy or ill, able or disabled, beautiful or ugly. Indeed it defines us as human or not human. Images of Jewish posture have come to define what being ‘Jewish’ means from some of the earliest commentaries to the philosophers of modernity. Shifting ideas of posture provide insights into the claims of what it means to be a Jew, an Israeli, or indeed, a human being as seen from a Jewish perspective. Who is ‘upright’ both in terms of our anatomy and our morality? The micro-history of the Jew’s posture is also the history of our cultural reading of human anatomy in the West. From the ancients to the moderns, how the Jew’s anatomy is understood shaped and shapes our understanding of what is human (Why did Adam learn to stand upright?), what is attractive (Who is the ‘beautiful Jew’?), what is patriotic (Jews don’t slouch in ranks!). What we ascribed in the modern world to upright posture very much defines the ideal Jew – today and projected into the past. How we used and use our understanding of posture to define who we are—and who we are not—is the theme of this lecture.
How Did Anti-Semitism and Racism Become Mental Illnesses? From Anti-Semitic Vienna to Segregated Topeka, Kansas And Beyond
In 2012, an interdisciplinary team of scientists at the University of Oxford reported that clinical tests showed that the beta-blocker drug, Propranolol, could reduce implicit racial bias among its users. Do experiments like these mean that racism is a mental illness? In this talk Sander Gilman traces the genealogies of race and racism as psychopathological categories, exploring the significance that the psychological sciences play in the biological understandings of race and racism. Beginning in mid-19th century Europe, with wide-spread anti-Semitic and racist beliefs, the talk moves across the Atlantic to contemporary America, up to the aforementioned clinical experiment at the University of Oxford, all in an attempt to understand how racism became a mental illness. The 19th century ‘Sciences of Man’— including anthropology, medicine, and biology—used race as a means of defining psychopathology. Such assertions about race and madness became embedded within disciplines that deal with mental health and illness up to the age of Trump, where over and over acts of racism such as the shootings in El Paso or Christchurch are ascribed to persons with mental illness.

Abstract – Emeritus Professor Konrad Kwiet
Holocaust Landscapes - The Transformation of a Jewish Space
The Holocaust never stood still. Moving through European and North African landscapes, the murder of the Jews created new places - ghettos and camps, mobile and stationary gassing facilities, or reworked public sites - roads and buildings, synagogues and cemeteries, river banks and dunes, pits and ravines, fields and forests into genocidal landscapes. My lecture depicts such landscapes and presents one example of the transformation of a Jewish space: the Ukrainian village Medschybisch, the burial place of Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism. Light will be shed on the Jewish world that was, on the destruction during the Holocaust and on the recent rebuilding of Jewish life, initiated by the Satmar, the largest group of the Hasidic movement.
