Papers dealing with mutual influences between historiography and literature, and examining the multifaceted linguistic contextualization of this reception in the multi-ethnic empires of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the Maghreb are also welcome. Contributions are also sought that explore the dynamic of mutual influence in the use of imagery pertaining to al-Andalus and Sepharad among Jews in Eastern and Western Europe, as well as among Jews and non-Jews. We welcome papers which draw on historical, literary and ethnographic studies in their discussion of these multiple 'visions'. For further information: Michal Friedman, Columbia University.

In his seminal essay, The Myth of Sephardic Supremacy (1989), Ismar Schorsch explored the place of Iberian-Sephardic culture and history in the imaginary of nineteenth-century German-Jewish intellectuals; he conceptualized this interest in the Sephardic past as a 'Sephardic Mystique'. Schorsch illustrates how German-speaking Jews interpreted Iberian-Sephardic culture as a process of (inter)cultural mediation from a core of Jewish culture into the non-Jewish culture. In this panel we widen the application of a 'Sephardic Mystique' beyond the exclusive province of intellectuals and historiographical debate, and beyond the confines of German-speaking Jewry, to embrace an exploration of the place of 'Sepharad' in the emergence and transformation of modern Jewish identities in multiple Jewish diasporic communities. Thus, in a departure from the dichotomies of 'East' and 'West' and 'European' and 'non-European', we illustrate the place of 'Sepharad' in Jewish communities, ranging from nineteenth-century Eastern Europe, Germany and North Africa, to twentieth-century Salonika, Spain and Latin America. We wish to examine how these divergent Jewish modern experiences shaped the ways both Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews conceptualized and made claims on Spain or 'Sepharad' as well as the place of 'Sepharad' in shaping these experiences. Moreover, we wish to illustrate how 'Sepharad' as a subject of historiography, memory, literature and political discourse, may have provided a forum for Jewish communities to engage in internal, as well as external dialogue and struggle with the broader non-Jewish societies, over questions of religious, political, and national identity. In the framework of the conference, a two-part panel will be organized dealing with different geographical spaces in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and with special interest in those regions that have to date been under-explored in studies of the reception of Ibero-Sephardic culture and history. Prospective papers might deal with the following topics, among others: - How were visions of Sepharad or Spain constructed in diverse places during the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? - To what extent did the Jewish reception and 'recovery' of Iberian-Sephardic culture and history intersect with discussion of Sephardic history by non-Jews? - How did Jewish scholars understand the Sephardic past and put it to use in understanding their present situations? How were visions of Sepharad transformed in the Jewish historiography and literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries?

La sesión de comunicaciones titulada «Don Quijote and Its Critics» versará sobre la trayectoria de las interpretaciones que recibió la obra de Cervantes en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Como ocurre con la recepción de todo clásico, la novela fue leída desde diversas perspectivas ideológicas por los cervantistas a medida que el mensaje se fue transformando en relación con los nuevos contextos históricos y literarios españoles y europeos de aquel siglo. A algunos aspectos de esta trayectoria interpretativa van dirigidos los trabajos de Javier Blasco, Isabel Lozano y José Montero Reguera.En la sesión dedicada a «Don Quijote and the Anglo-American World», tres destacados cervantistas, Anthony Close, de la Universidad de Cambridge, del Reino Unido, y Daniel Eisenberg, director de la revista norteamericana Cervantes, así como Howard Mancing, profesor de la Universidad de Purdue, hablarán sobre las lecturas del Quijote en el mundo anglohablante desde varias perspectivas que abarcan su canonización como obra clásica y la influencia ejercida sobre la literatura inglesa y norteamericana y la novela moderna en particular.La sesión titulada «Don Quijote and Literary Theory» se centrará en el diálogo entre teoría y práctica de la ficción tal como aparece representada o cuestionada en la novela, y en la relación que esta entabla con obras posteriores. Marina Brownlee, de la universidad de Princeton, Edward Friedman, de la universidad de Vanderbilt y James Parr, de la universidad de California de Riverside, se referirán así al impacto que las nuevas teorías literarias que se fueron sucediendo en las últimas décadas del siglo XX, tuvieron sobre la interpretación del Quijote en este país, hasta configurar visiones de la obra de Cervantes que son características del hispanismo norteamericano.
