Talk | Microhistories of coexistence: Jews & Christians in the town of Sluck in the 17th Century
Tuesday 7th November 2023, 6:00pm
This event is a talk from the Parkes Institute's 23/24 Visiting Fellow, Maria Cieśla.
In this talk, Maria Cieśla will ask the question about the importance of Jewish economic activity in everyday Christian-Jewish interactions. Cieśla draws on her interest in the social dimension of Jewish economic activity in the context of Christian-Jewish relations. The following questions will be asked: To what extent did the economic domination of the Jews cause a deepening of Christian-Jewish relations? Did the Jewish economic activity cause the creation of shared Jewish-Christian non-economic social spaces? What was the significance of anti-Jewish economic stereotypes in everyday Jewish-Christian encounters? Cieśla utilises microhistory as a research method and focusing on single actors and their activities and will present a case study of the town of Sluck in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, in the 17th Century. Sluck hosted one of the most important Jewish communities in the early modern Polish–Lithuania Commonwealth.
