SUMMARY:Masterclass: Judeo-Arabic Journalism in the Maghreb: Texts\, Genres and Language Choices\, c. 1870–1920
DESCRIPTION:On 16–17 September 2026\, the Munich Research Centre for Jewish-Arabic Cultures will host a two-day masterclass with Dr. Avner Ofrath\, Senior Research Fellow in the Volkswagen Momentum Programme From Pre-Modern to Modern Perspectives in Judaic Studies. \nBringing together close textual analysis and broader historical perspectives\, the masterclass explores the rich yet little-known world of Judeo-Arabic journalism in the colonial Maghreb. Through a close reading of selected periodicals (English translations will be provided)\, participants will examine questions of authorship and readership\, local and global perspectives\, and the interplay of Judeo-Arabic\, Hebrew\, French\, and Spanish in the emerging Jewish press. Particular attention will be paid to the role of different literary genres in shaping a vibrant vernacular public sphere. \nDr. Ofrath is Alfred Landecker Lecturer in History at Freie Universität Berlin. His research focuses on the social\, cultural\, and intellectual history of Arabic-speaking Jews\, with particular interests in Judeo-Arabic language\, print culture\, and modern Jewish thought in the Middle East and North Africa. His current research traces the connected history of Judeo-Arabic writing across the Maghrib and Mashriq\, examining how writers revived Judeo-Arabic as a language of political expression\, modernity\, and Jewish identity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. \n\n16 September\n9:00 – 9:45\nSession I: Introduction\nJudeo-Arabic journalism in the Maghrib: Core issues and questions.\n\n10:00 – 12:00\nSession II: Language Choices and Structures\nA close reading of several excerpts from Maghribi Judeo-Arabic journals\, with special focus on issues of vocabulary\, syntax and translation.\n\n12:00 – 13:00\nLunch\n\n13:00 – 15:00\nSession III: Time and Temporality\nA discussion of visions of time and history as seen in two texts from 1890s Algeria.\n\n\n17 September\n9:00-11:00\nSession IV: Sites and Boundaries\nA discussion of depictions and delineations of different sites of Jewishness in three texts from Algeria and Tunisia under colonial rule.\n\n11:15-12:45\nConclusion\nDiscussion of work in progress (to be circulated to participants in advance) and concluding questions and remarks. \n\n  \nRegistration is open until September 11\, 2026 per e-mail at m.shcherbakova@lmu.de \n  \n\n
