INAUGURAL LECTURE OF DR JOSEF MERI

This lecture, entitled Past, present, and future historical memories: the impact of key texts, objects, and rituals on Muslim-Jewish relations, by the Ariane de Rothschild Academic Director of the Centre of the Study of Muslim-Jewish Relations, will be held at 5 p.m. on 17 February 2011, in the Garden Room, St Edmund’s College.

The lecture will explore key Jewish and Muslim historical accounts which depict the ‘other’ community and how they are (mis)used to create a particular historical narrative, which can manipulate the historical record for apologetic and polemical purposes. It will address the effect of texts, objects, and rituals in the Muslim-Jewish encounter as implications for remembering the past and remembering for the future.
