The Venice Arsenal : Between History, Heritage, and Re-use
This book reviews four decades of debate about restoring an industrial heritage site of inestimable value – the Venice Arsenal.Focusing on the challenges of economic, financial and institutional feasibility, it reveals how failing to address these aspects has undermined potential solutions from both technicians and heritage professionals. With a deep connection to the city over centuries, the Arsenal was the very basis of La Serenissima’s sea power, enabling its economic expansion.Later, it maintained a vital military function through shipbuilding until World War II.But the slow process of abandonment of the traditional site’s uses and spaces continues to pose questions regarding its preservation and re-use.Drawing on original research from urban planners, architects and historians, the book provides a critical investigation into the organizational and managerial challenges of this unique site, and crucially, why so little has been achieved compared with potential opportunities. Featuring numerous color photographs and exploring the particular challenges of restoration and re-use facing the Venice Arsenal, this insightful evaluation of the history of this site provides a uniquely informative case for the discipline of industrial heritage.

Jewish Culture between Canon and Heresy
This career-spanning anthology from prominent Jewish historian David Biale brings over a dozen of his key essays together for the first time.These pieces, written between 1974 and 2016, are all representative of a method Biale calls "counter-history": "the discovery of vital forces precisely in what others considered marginal, disreputable and irrational." The themes that have preoccupied Biale throughout the course of his distinguished career—in particular power, sexuality, blood, and secular Jewish thought—span the periods of the Bible, late antiquity, and the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.Exemplary essays in this volume argue for the dialectical relationship between modernity and its precursors in the older tradition, working together to "brush history against the grain" in order to provide a sweeping look at the history of the Jewish people.This volume of work by one of the boldest and most intellectually omnivorous Jewish thinkers of our time will be essential reading for scholars and students of Jewish studies.

The Soviet Jewish Bookshelf – Jewish Culture and Identity Between the Lines
An original investigation into the reading strategies and uses of books by Jews in the Soviet era. In The Soviet Jewish Bookshelf, Marat Grinberg argues that in an environment where Judaism had been all but destroyed, and a public Jewish presence routinely delegitimized, reading uniquely provided many Soviet Jews with an entry to communal memory and identity.The bookshelf was both a depository of selective Jewish knowledge and often the only conspicuously Jewish presence in their homes.The typical Soviet Jewish bookshelf consisted of a few translated works from Hebrew and numerous translations from Yiddish and German as well as Russian books with both noticeable and subterranean Jewish content.Such volumes, officially published, and not intended solely for a Jewish audience, afforded an opportunity for Soviet Jews to indulge insubordinate feelings in a largely safe manner.Grinberg is interested in pinpointing and decoding the complex reading strategies and the specifically Jewish uses to which the books on the Soviet Jewish bookshelf were put.He reveals that not only Jews read them, but Jews read them in a specific way.

What is the difference between low culture and high culture in history?
Low culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more common, popular, and easily accessible to the general public. This can include things like popular music, television shows, and mass-produced literature. On the other hand, high culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more refined, sophisticated, and often associated with the elite or educated classes.

The distinction between low and high culture has been a source of debate and has evolved over time, but it generally reflects the social and class divisions within a society.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.

Between Redemption & Perdition : Modern Antisemitism and Jewish Identity
Originally published in 1990, this book focuses on the challenge to Jewish identity posed by the conflicting forces of enlightenment, emancipation, modern political antisemitism, and secular ideologies like Zionism, nationalism, and socialism.At the heart of his discussion stands the intense, tortured, and ultimately tragic encounter of Jews with Germans and Austrians.He also deals at length with the new problems of Jewish cultural and political identity posed by the existence of the state of Israel and its embattled position among the nations.In the course of the analysis the book looks at the tragedy of assimilation in central Europe, with the optimistic dream of Enlightenment and Bildung coming to a climax in the nightmare of racial antisemitism and the Holocaust.He explores the ambivalent relationship of the Jews with the European Left, showing how many Jewish intellectuals found a new political home in radical and socialist movements, though these movements often retained negative stereotypes of Jews and Judaism and exhibited a fierce opposition to the maintenance of any separate Jewish identity.The role of Zionism is discussed and the more recent challenges to its legitimacy examined.

Armenian and Jewish Experience between Expulsion and Destruction
Jews and Armenians are often perceived as peoples with similar tragic historical experiences.Not only were both groups forced into statelessness and a life outside their homelands for centuries, in the 20th century, in the shadow of war, they were threatened with collective annihilation.Thus far, academic approaches to these two "classical" diasporas have been quite different.Moreover, Armenian and Jewish questions posed during the 19th and 20th centuries have usually been treated separately.The conference “We Will Live After Babylon” that took place in Hanover in February 2019, addressed this gap in research and was one of the first initiatives to deal directly with Jewish and Armenian historical experiences, between expulsion, exile and annihilation, in a comparative framework.The contributions in this volume take on multidisciplinary approaches relating to the conference’s central themes: diaspora, minority issues and genocide.

Islam : Between Divine Message and History
Why this book? What can it add to the many works that have already explored Islam as a history, a doctrine, a law, and a code of ethics?The bulk of Islamic thought nowadays is either a repetition of and rumination about what the ancients have already said, or the tackling of partial issues that falls short of a comprehensive view and a theoretical framework.All too often ideology replaces real knowledge. This work attempts to introduce the characteristics of the Mohammedan Mission, with the aspiration to be faithful to its essential purposes and to historical truth at the same time.The author thus illustrates the different ways in which people have understood the Mission and the reasons that led them to those various interpretations.The book presents several alternative interpretations that actually existed but did not enjoy widespread acceptance and popularity.

What is the origin and history of Venice?
Venice was founded in the 5th century AD by refugees fleeing the invasion of northern Italy by Germanic tribes. These refugees settled in the marshy lagoon of the Adriatic Sea and built a network of canals and islands that would become the city of Venice. Over the centuries, Venice grew into a powerful maritime republic, dominating trade in the Mediterranean and becoming a center of art, culture, and wealth. The city's unique location and system of government allowed it to flourish for centuries, until it eventually fell under the control of the Austrian Empire in the 18th century. Today, Venice is known for its beautiful architecture, art, and canals, and remains a popular tourist destination.
