Presentation of the book „Antisemitismm“ in the Jewish Community of Zagreb

We are pleased to invite you to the presentation of the book „Antisemitizam“ by Pierre-André Taguieff on Tuesday, 21 February at 7 PM at the Jewish Community of Zagreb. In the book „Antisemitizam“ Pierre-André Taguieff deals with genealogy and typology of what is frequently and incorrectly called antisemitism. This derogatory term is not sufficient to cover the entire anti-Jewish practice and its discourse. This is why the author chose somewhat more neutral concept of Judeophobia. Explaining various forms of Judeophobia, the author shows how aversion, fears and passions were generated and, post hoc, how were they justified even though they could and should not be. The book will be presented by prof. Tihomir Cipek, ph. D., prof. Slaven Ravlić, ph. D. and editor Dijana Bahtijari. Excerpts from the book will be read by Vlatka Bjegović.
