H-Judaic CFA: Oxford Summer Institute on Modern and Contemporary Judaism - July 2017 - Application Extension - European-based Scholars Discussion published by Adam Ferziger on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies in collaboration with the Berman Center, Lehigh University Oxford Summer Institute on Modern and Contemporary Judaism: Modern Judaism, Technology, and Authority: Historical, Social Scientific and Theological Perspectives 3 July to 10 July 2017 Application Extension - European-Based Scholars The Oxford Summer Institute on Modern and Contemporary Judaism (OSI-MCJ) is an advanced academic seminar that is intended to raise innovative and challenging perspectives regarding modern and contemporary Judaism. A combination of outstanding senior scholars of Jewish religion and culture from around the globe join with a select group of early career European Jewish studies scholars for eight days of rigorous study and intellectual exchange. Each participant must commit to preparing an original paper that is relevant to the theme, which will be distributed exclusively to the other OSI-MCJ scholars in advance and examined collectively at the seminar itself. The fourth annual OSI-MCJ will address: 'Modern Judaism, Technology, and Authority: Historical, Social Scientific and Theological Perspectives.' The interface between Judaism and technology has been recorded since ancient times. No doubt, navigating these interactions has long presented religious authorities with critical challenges. Nonetheless, the breakneck pace with which novel forms of communication, transportation, production, armaments, and medicine have emerged, and especially more recent advances in computerization and "virtualization," have placed technology at the center of contemporary existence. Indeed, western society has framed technology and the scientists who generate it as authoritarian sources for wisdom in a manner that was previously generally reserved for theologians and philosophers. For some "defenders of the faith," technology is oppositional to religion, while others have laboured to articulate a discourse that acknowledges the power and benefits of technological change, without undermining the viability of religion and religious interpretation. OSI-MCJ 2017 will be dedicated to exploring the multiple ways in which modern and contemporary Jewish life, thought, and practice have been nourished, experienced, and responded to a broad range of innovations. The multi- and inter-disciplinary approach of the seminar is designed to bring into Citation: Adam Ferziger.
