WGS 3014 - Jewish Women's Salons and Their Impact on Culture, Identity and Modernity

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Examines the significant role played by the salons of Jewish women in the development of art, literature, music, theater, philosophy, and politics in Europe and America from the late 18th century through the mid-20th century. Salons in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, Milan, New York, and elsewhere proved to be innovative and radical vehicles that helped mediate the secularization of modern Jewish life and the democratization of the public sphere. They provided a context in which nobility, artists, and thinkers exchanged ideas across barriers of class, gender, nationality, socio-economic status, and religion, and fostered the careers of many important figures.
