Below The Line: The Feuilleton and Modern Jewish Cultures Website Launch

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new website of Below The Line: The Feuilleton and Modern Jewish Cultures ( https://www.feuilletonproject.org/) and to invite you to mark the occasion. This is an important milestone in the collaborative research project, co-directed by Prof. Naomi Brenner (Ohio State University), Prof. Shachar Pinsker (University of Michigan), and Prof. Matthew Handelman (Michigan State University), with contributions from all over the world with many scholarly expertises.

The center of the new project website is a growing digital collection of feuilletons related to modern Jewish cultures in a variety of languages, published in newspapers and periodicals throughout the world, from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. Most of the texts in the collection are available in the original publication, in English translation, and with a commentary that provides important scholarly context. The website also features extensive metadata, a map with places of publication, and a timeline. Explore the digital collections at: https://feuilleton.judaic.lsa.umich.edu/s/below-the-line/page/explore

The event will feature the three co-directors and contributors who will discuss some of the exciting features of the new website and digital collection and the project’s future plans. Please register here: https://myumi.ch/G12b4

The project has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Academy of Jewish Research, and other sources.
