Konferenz: Underprivileged Bodies: Marginality and Minority in Europe, 1850–1939, Wroclaw
The organizing committee invites proposals for papers for the upcoming conference “Underprivileged Bodies: Marginality and Minority in Europe, 1850–1939”, on July 6–8, 2026, at the Department of Jewish Studies, Wrocław University.
The conference seeks to explore how marginalized and minority bodies were imagined, categorized, and governed in Europe between 1850 and 1939, as well as how individuals and communities experienced, performed, and contested these regimes of representation and control. Papers that address a broad range of minorities—including ethnic, religious, gender, class, age, sexual, and disabled communities—but we place particular emphasis on the Jewish body as a key site of modern European anxieties, fantasies, and negotiations.
The conference is organized with the support of the Department of Jewish Studies, Wrocław University, and Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Deadline for submissions: January, 15, 2026 | DETAILS
