What makes a space Jewish? This wide-ranging volume revisits
literal as well as metaphorical spaces in modern German history to
examine the ways in which Jewishness has been attributed to them
both within and outside of Jewish communities, and what the
implications have been across different eras and social contexts.
Working from an expansive concept of "the spatial," these
contributions look not only at physical sites but at professional,
political, institutional, and imaginative realms, as well as
historical Jewish experiences of spacelessness. Together, they
encompass spaces as varied as early modern print shops and Weimar
cinema, always pointing to the complex intertwining of German and
Jewish identity.

As in all fields and disciplines of the humanities, Jewish Studies
scholars find themselves confronted with the rapidly increasing
availability of digital resources (data), new technologies to
interrogate and analyze them (tools), and the question of how to
critically engage with these developments. This volume discusses
how the digital turn has affected the field of Jewish Studies. It
explores the current state of the art and probes how digital
developments can be harnessed to address the specific questions,
challenges and problems that Jewish Studies scholars confront. In a
field characterised by dispersed sources, and heterogeneous scripts
and languages that speak to a multitude of cultures and histories,
of abundance as well as loss, what is the promise of Digital
Humanities methods--and what are the challenges and pitfalls? The
articles in this volume were originally presented at the
international conference #DHJewish - Jewish Studies in the Digital
Age, which was organised at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital
History (C(2)DH) at University of Luxembourg in January 2021. The
first big international conference of its kind, it brought together
more than sixty scholars and heritage practitioners to discuss how
the digital turn affects the field of Jewish Studies.
