Beginning with the establishment of the first ghetto in Venice in
1516, then followed by that of Rome and other cities, the Jews had
to measure themselves against this circumscribed and ambivalent
place, which included them in the urban perimeter and at the same
time isolated them. For almost three centuries this was the space
in which the Jews cultivated their identity, on the one hand
preserving the characteristics of a millenary culture, while on the
other drawing from the world that opened up beyond that border: the
constant relationship between the “inside” and the
“outside” of the ghetto walls marks the life of the Jews on the
long road to emancipation. The volume is dedicated to this complex
and articulated reality, availing itself of a very rich critical
apparatus in dealing from every angle - historical, artistic,
sociological - with a highly current problem: the concepts of
resilience, integration, comparison between cultures, aspiration to
being the same while remaining different.
