DESCRIPTION:Thresholds of Contact and Conflict: Material Culture and Jewish
  History from Early Modern Times to the Fin de Siècle The Leon Levy Founda
 tion Lectures in Jewish Material Culture by Daniel JütteIn these three lec
 tures\, historian Daniel Jütte explores dynamics of contact and conflict i
 n Jewish-Christian relations by focusing on one overarching theme: thresho
 lds. 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 memor
 ies crossed thresholds between Christians and Jews in early modern Europe.
  The second talk homes in on the complex role that liminal spaces played i
 n encounters between both religious communities in Renaissance cities. The
  final lecture examines how\, in modern times\, artistic representations o
 f the Jewish condition—especially the little-known trope of “threshold dwe
 llers”—influenced visions of the Jewish past and future.Lecture 1: October
