DESCRIPTION:Thresholds of Contact and Conflict: Material Culture and Jewish
  History from Early Modern Times to the Fin de SiècleThe Leon Levy Foundat
 ion Lectures in Jewish Material Culture by Daniel JütteIn these three lect
 ures\, historian Daniel Jütte explores dynamics of contact and conflict in
  Jewish-Christian relations by focusing on one overarching theme: threshol
 ds. Understanding thresholds in both a literal and figurative sense\, his 
 talks span a wide chronological arc from early modern times to the fin de 
 siècle. The first lecture probes how shared objects\, customs\, and memori
 es crossed thresholds between Christians and Jews in early modern Europe. 
 The second talk homes in on the complex role that liminal spaces played in
  encounters between both religious communities in Renaissance cities. The 
 final lecture examines how\, in modern times\, artistic representations of
  the Jewish condition—especially the little-known trope of “threshold dwel
 lers”—influenced visions of the Jewish past and future.Lecture 2: November
  14\, 6 pmLecture 3: December 5\, 6 pmDaniel Jütte is a historian of early
  modern and modern Europe. He is professor of history in the Department of
  History at New York University. His research interests lie in cultural hi
 story\, urban history and material culture\, history of knowledge and scie
 nce\, and Jewish history. At NYU\, he has been involved in launching the U
 rban Humanities Initiative\, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Jü
 tte is the author of three monographs. His most recent book is titled Tran
 sparency: The Material History of an Idea (Yale University Press\, 2023).
