Contemporary anti-Semitism: Anti-Zionism
Contemporary anti-Semitism: Anti-Zionism Tuesday, 13 January at 6 p.m. Following the attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, we are witnessing a powerful new wave of anti-Semitism. This time, it takes the form of attacks on the State of Israel, Zionism, Israelis and Jews around the world. „Traditional“ right-wing anti-Semitism has been joined by left-wing anti-Zionism, which often rejects the label „anti-Semitism.“ What does contemporary anti-Semitism look like? What language, visuals, narratives, and methods does it use? Lecture by Terezie Dubinová, PhD, cultural scientist and Hebrew scholar, author of books including Women in the Bible, Women Today, Roots of Female Spirituality, How to Teach About the Holocaust (e-book), How to Fix the World: Conversations with Inspiring Israelis. Admission is voluntary. Franz Kafka as a Traveller and Sportsman Tuesday, 3 December at 6 p.m. Franz Kafka's original stories inspire readers around the world. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the death of the famous writer, who is usually presented as someone who was sick and sad. Apparently, he enjoyed nothing but writing. In reality, Kafka's life was much more interesting. Journalist Judita Matyášová and photographer Jan Jindra visited 70 places across Europe where Kafka spent his holidays or went on business trips. They discovered that he was interested in modern technology, was a fan of healthy living, and enjoyed sports. Journalist Judita Matyášová will recount her detective-like search for authentic Kafka locations. The lecture will include excerpts from the new book S Kafkou na cestách (Travelling with Kafka), published this year by Matyášová and Jindra with Labyrint, in which they describe their more than twenty-year search for traces of the famous writer.
