Conference
Antisemitism
in Theory and Practice: Legacies in Cultural and Political Thought
London,
28 and 29 April 2008, at the Wiener Library
An
international conference organised by the LBI London and the Wiener
Library as a contribution to the European Network for Research into
Historical and Current Antisemitism
The
conference looked at theories of antisemitism and antisemitic legacies
in modern cultural and political theories. We assessed the state
of the art in modern theories of antisemitism and examine problematic
legacies that partly fostered these theories; we also discussed
praxis oriented approaches of dealing with antisemitism in a number
of European countries.
