Judaism's long religious and cultural tradition has been subject to many and manifold transformations. Understanding the reasons behind and the dynamics of these transformations requires a theoretical approach to the nature and function of traditions in general and a methodological approach suitable to analyze specific shifts in the continuous development of traditions. The international conference on “Jewish Studies and Sociology of Knowledge: Discourse, Lifeworld and the Transformation of Traditions” at the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien in Heidelberg aims at exploring the analytical possibilities to be gained in Jewish Studies through the integration of sociological approaches among its methodological instruments, primarily sociological theories of discourse and knowledge.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
