What have been the major shifts in European self-perception and in European perceptions of Jews and Judaism if one traces Europe's orientation in terms of East and West? My starting point is not in Jewish history, but in Europe's worldview and self-perception. The East-West parameter both predates and postdates the historical stages of Orientalism. The article offers two typologies of Orientalism: a historical typology that distinguishes between religious, philosophical, imperialist, and artistic forms of Orientalism; and, an intercultural communication typology of the Oriental Other based on two scales ranging from foreign to familiar and from threatening to interesting. Both typologies demonstrate that Orientalism is a complex phenomenon that cannot be reduced to a single form. Moreover, when applied to current definitions and expressions of antisemitism the second typology shows how these definitions and expressions vary considerably depending on different forms of interaction between the Self and the Other. Neither Orientalism nor antisemitism are monolithic.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128263975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But its form changed with the reaction to modernity and the establishment of the modern nation state. Jews were seen as the ethereal \"Other,\" the alien force whose unrooted nature apparently confirmed not only true loyalty to their global ranks as against their respective communities but also as harbingers of an all-encompassing world conspiracy bent on hastening the destruction of Western civilization in general and white Christendom in particular. This conspiratorial outlook was reflected in the infamous and fabricated Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, which continues to serve as the cornerstone of modern expressions of Jew-hatred. Antisemitism blends what I have called \"conspiracy fetishism\" with parochial interpretations of what constitutes the true community. This article distinguishes between modern antisemitism from the Right and the Left while also providing objective criticisms of Israeli policies that separate rather than conflate progressive critique with charges of antisemitism.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126622442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, we identified 550 articles published in English since 1999 using the keyword antisemitism (and anti-Semitism). Following our examination of article abstracts, 63 articles were selected for full review, 48 articles were excluded, and the remaining 15 studies were included in this article. Guided by Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model of human development, we explored factors associated with antisemitism related to person, process, and context. Findings suggested that several factors related to person, process, and context were associated with increased antisemitism. Limitations of published studies (such as varied and dated measurement tools) were also uncovered, alluding to the need for future rigorous research on multilevel factors associated with antisemitism, as well as the consequences of antisemitic perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128116673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antisemitic nature of the myth is discussed as well as the reasons for accusations against Jews for the \"ritual murder\" of the Czar's family. The popularity of this myth in post-Soviet Russia is discussed with respect to Russian Orthodox monarchist activity, the growing popularity of prophecies about the \"end of time,\" new studies of the remains of the royal victims by the Commission of the Russian Federation, as well as the canonization of the last Russian Emperor by the Russian Orthodox Church.","PeriodicalId":148002,"journal":{"name":"Antisemitism Studies","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128318904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
