On an earth-size planet in the Centaurus Constellation, a paranormal investigator, his talking dog Hugo, and an abandoned orphan boy attempt to save Mankind from the deadly scourge of “Itch”. “They wanted the kids,” Max said, “they wanted the orphans, they wanted the seven of us.” “Why?” the dog asked, and looked at me, shaking his head in wonder. “They wanted us for ‘Itch’,” the boy continued. “What’s that?” I asked. “I don’t know, Taylor,” he admitted, and shurgged. “All they kept talking about was ‘‘Itch’,” and he shrugged again and added, “By the way they were talking, ‘Itch’ must be real important.” Hugo jumped up in alarm and ran around the kitchen table. He barked shrilly few times and stopped in front of me, his expressions cold sober. “We have to talk,” he said sternly. “We have to talk now-in private.”

Jüdische Kulturgeschichte ist alles andere als ein festgelegtes Forschungsgebiet, sondern setzt sich aus vielen und immer neuen Fragestellungen zusammen: Da geht es um Philosophie, Religion, Geschichte, Literatur, Gesellschaft und Politik – und bei all dem um Würde und Ethik, um Zuschreibungen und Ausgrenzungen, um Machtstrukturen und um Verfolgung. Jüdische Geschichte, Lebensrealitäten und Identitätsbildungen spielen in der europäischen und globalen Geschichte eine wichtige Rolle. Mitunter fanden diese Themen in der Geisteswissenschaft nur wenig Beachtung, doch ist hier inzwischen einiges im Umbruch. Statt bekannten Wegen tun sich neue Horizonte auf! Durchblicke. Horizonte jüdischer Kulturgeschichte enthält die Beiträge des Symposiums zum zehnjährigen Bestehen des Zentrums für Jüdische Kulturgeschichte der Universität Salzburg. Diese setzen Akzente in etlichen Bereichen der Jüdischen Studien: in der kulturwissenschaftlichen Sicht auf Judentum, Christentum und Islam in der Spätantike, der jüdischen Geschichte und Literatur des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, der Sprachlosigkeit und des künstlerischen und literarischen Zeugnisses angesichts des Holocaust und nicht zuletzt der jiddischen Literatur und Kultur.
