DESCRIPTION:Start: 12:00 s.t.!\n\nPlease\, come share your input on an app
 lication for an ERC Advanced Grant in progress!  This talk shares some of
  the preliminary findings and theories relating to the circulation of tale
 s about Jews and by Jews throughout the Mediterranean\, Northern Europe\, 
 West and Central Asia\, and North and East Africa from antiquity to the ea
 rly nineteenth century.  First\, the utility of using of recent developme
 nts in narratological theory and some of Lotman’s ideas about “spheres
  of meaning”  to understand how tales of Jews affected not only Jewish 
 relations with others\, but also concepts of otherness as a whole in vario
 us societies  will be explored.  To illustrate these processes\, I will 
 examine the interplay between tales about the Virgin Mary and her encounte
 rs with the Jews\, the rise of the Blood Libel in the Ottoman Empire\, and
  Jewish tales of  mighty rabbis\, and anti-heroes\, namely Mary\, Jesus a
 nd his disciples. I will show how\, together\, these tales changed the nat
 ure of Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations throughout medieval and early mod
 ern Eurasia and Africa.
