ARS JUDAICA, Liverpool University Press
Liverpool University Press is pleased to inform you of the latest content in ARS JUDAICA, a highly regarded publication of the Department of Jewish Art at Bar-Ilan University.
Published annually, the journal is a peer-reviewed publication on Jewish visual culture. It showcases the Jewish contribution to the visual arts and architecture from antiquity to the present from a variety of perspectives, including history, iconography, semiotics, psychology, sociology, and folklore. As such it is a valuable resource for art historians, collectors, curators, and all those interested in the visual arts.
The new special issue of Ars Judaica, ‘Animalities and Humanities in Medieval Jewish Art’, edited by Elina Gertsman and Ilia Rodov, considers the entanglement of humanity and animality in medieval Jewish visual, textual, and ritual cultures. Framed by a roundtable spanning Jewish, Christian, and Islamic domains, the essays explore hybridity, embodiment, speech, symbolism, and representation, illuminating a richly imbricated world in which beasts and humans meet in complex relations of meaning and power.
