INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
JEWISH SPACE IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: DAY-TO-DAY HISTORY
Vilnius, 8-9 MAY 2006
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Center for Studies of the Culture and History of East European Jews in
cooperation with the Lithuanian Institute of History invites to participate
in the second international scientific conference on 8-9 May 2006. The
topic of the conference is Jewish Space in Central and Eastern Europe:
Day-to-day History. The key aim of the conference is to discuss the
peculiarities of Jewish social life and the forms of their everyday
_expression.
The organizers of the conference perceive Jewish space as diverse forms of
life and relations developing in the rich context of urbanism, social life,
economic _expression, and coexistence with the non-Jewish world. Having
undergone various transformations, the Jewish space has preserved its
authenticity and individuality. The organizers of the conference are
interested in the distinction of the Jewish space, its representation in
everyday life, and the communication with non-Jewish environment.
The reports presenting the following sections of Jewish space are welcome:
- "Regular" and "unusual" Jewish space: town (Jewish street, Jewish
quarter, ghetto); shtetl; village; agricultural settlement; grange.
- Types of community (kahal, lesser kahal ("podkahalek")) and peculiarities
of traditional life determined by them (range of authority of vaad,
rabbinic court, and community rabbi; choice of the burial-ground); the
activities of social, educational and cultural institutions.
- Space of communication: store and delivery trade, market, fair, tavern
and inn, coaching inns and travels, the institution of rent, mutual
assistance, leisure and entertainment (salons, clubs, sport).
The organizers of the conference:
Center for Studies of the Culture and History of East European Jews,
Lithuanian Institute of History

8-9 May 2006, Vilnius
