Du 12 au 14 janvier 2014 se tiendra à l'Université d'Haifa, la conférence internationale : "International Affairs and the Politics of Memory: German-Jewish-Israeli Relations after the Holocaust", organisée par le Jena Center Geschichte des 20. Jahrhundert et le Haifa Center for German and European Studies.Au cours de cinq panels thématiques, des chercheurs allemands, israéliens, britanniques et américains présenteront leurs recherches abordant différents aspects des relations "allemandes-juives-israéliennes" depuis 1945.Argumentaire de la conférence :"The convenors intend for this event to engage with important historiographical and methodological debates, and to aim at a broad analysis of German-Jewish-Israeli relations that integrates the dynamics of international politics as well as the history of Holocaust memory. In doing so, the conference aspires to forge a new approach to the study of this subject, combining perspectives of political, diplomatic, transnational history, and memory studies. Relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and Israel will form a key focus of this conference, complemented by an exploration into East Germany's relationship with Israel, as well as West Germany's relations with Jewish diaspora communities.In addition to providing a comprehensive account of German-Jewish-Israeli relations based on representative case studies, this conference will make a number of significant methodological contributions to the fields of modern political history and the "new" diplomatic/international history. It will link the history of international relations with that of memory and employ a broad, inclusive definition of "politics" that transcends a strictly government-centered perspective, within domestic as well as foreign policy structures. Paying specific attention to intergovernmental relations in this context, the presentations also explore the role of non-governmental organizations and actors as well as their respective influences on government politics. These include political foundations, NGOs, and other actors within civil society. Thus, the conference aims to shed new light on the truly intertwined history of German-Jewish-Israeli relations after the Holocaust."Programme de la conférence :Sunday, January 12, 201418.30Welcome and Introduction to the ConferenceAmos Morris-Reich, University of HaifaJacob S.
