Sepharad: A Travelling Concept

This one-day international colloquium explores the ways in which Sephardic identity was constructed by Jews and Christians following the diaspora of Spanish and Portuguese Jews in the late 1490s. Ranging from the XVIc to the present, we address such issues as:  the meaning of ‘Sefarad’ as a ‘travelling concept’; early modern ideas of ‘the Hebrew nation’ or the ‘Hebrew Republic’ and their political uses; the textual and oral production of Sephardic cultural identity.

All are welcome, but registration is required by June 2. Please email enquiries@ochjs.ac.uk
