Abstract

The Jewish left is having an intertwined renaissance and crisis, with a level of influence and growth not seen in decades. What explains the revitalization of the Jewish left? What can the older generation teach to and learn from the young generation? What are the possibilities for institution-building? And why should scholars care? To tackle these questions, Boston University’s Institute on Culture, Religion, and World Affairs (CURA) organized a symposium on the Jewish left. Bringing together activists and theorists, scholars and practitioners, grandparents and grandchildren, the event worked to theorize the past and present to map the Jewish left’s path forward. Speakers included some of the leading voices of the Jewish left, representatives of progressive Jewish organizations, and provided a gathering space for scholars, students, and activists to examine the evolving role of the Jewish left in world affairs.

导言：犹太左翼研讨会

犹太左翼正在经历一场复兴与危机的交织，其影响力和增长水平是几十年来从未见过的。犹太左翼振兴的原因是什么？老一代人可以向年轻一代人传授和学习什么？机构建设的可能性有多大？学者们为什么要关心这些问题？为了解决这些问题，波士顿大学文化、宗教和世界事务研究所（CURA）组织了一次关于犹太左翼的研讨会。活动家和理论家、学者和实践者、祖父母和孙子孙女齐聚一堂，对过去和现在进行了理论探讨，以规划犹太左翼的前进道路。发言者包括犹太左翼的一些领军人物、进步犹太组织的代表，并为学者、学生和活动家提供了一个聚会空间，以审视犹太左翼在世界事务中不断演变的角色。

期刊介绍： Critical Research on Religion is a peer-reviewed, international journal focusing on the development of a critical theoretical framework and its application to research on religion. It provides a common venue for those engaging in critical analysis in theology and religious studies, as well as for those who critically study religion in the other social sciences and humanities such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, and literature. A critical approach examines religious phenomena according to both their positive and negative impacts. It draws on methods including but not restricted to the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, Marxism, post-structuralism, feminism, psychoanalysis, ideological criticism, post-colonialism, ecocriticism, and queer studies. The journal seeks to enhance an understanding of how religious institutions and religious thought may simultaneously serve as a source of domination and progressive social change. It attempts to understand the role of religion within social and political conflicts. These conflicts are often based on differences of race, class, ethnicity, region, gender, and sexual orientation – all of which are shaped by social, political, and economic inequity. The journal encourages submissions of theoretically guided articles on current issues as well as those with historical interest using a wide range of methodologies including qualitative, quantitative, and archival. It publishes articles, review essays, book reviews, thematic issues, symposia, and interviews.
