European-Jewish Studies reflect the interdisciplinary network and competence of the new “Centre for Jewish Studies Berlin and Brandenburg”. The Centre gathers together the most important institutions working on Jewish studies in the region – including the relevant universities and establishments in Berlin and Potsdam. The interdisciplinary character of the series places particular emphasis on the way in which history, the humanities and cultural science approach the subject, as well as on fundamental intellectual, political and religious questions that inspire Jewish life and thinking today, and have influenced it in the past. The CONTRIBUTIONS publish excellent monographs and anthologies on the entire spectrum of themes from Jewish studies. The series is peer-reviewed.

The buzzwords “Information Society” and “Age of Access” suggest that information is now universally accessible without any form of hindrance. Indeed, the German constitution calls for all citizens to have open access to information. Yet in reality, there are multifarious hurdles to information access – whether physical, economic, intellectual, linguistic, political, or technical. Thus, while new methods and practices for making information accessible arise on a daily basis, we are nevertheless confronted by limitations to information access in various domains. This new book series assembles academics and professionals in various fields in order to illuminate the various dimensions of information's inaccessability. While the series discusses principles and techniques for transcending the hurdles to information access, it also addresses necessary boundaries to accessability.

The series European-Jewish Studies reflects the international network and competence of the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European Jewish studies (MMZ). Particular emphasis is placed on the way in which history, the humanities and cultural sciences approach the subject, as well as on fundamental intellectual, political and religious questions that inspire Jewish life and thinking today, and have influenced it in the past.

Die verbreiteten Begriffe ‚Informationsgesellschaft' und ‚Age of Access' suggerieren die problemlose Zugänglichkeit von Information. Doch Information ist in der Realität in vielerlei Hinsicht unzugänglich - physisch, wirtschaftlich, intellektuell, sprachlich, politisch, technisch. Diese neue Buchreihe bringt Wissenschaftler und Praktiker zusammen, um die verschiedenen Dimensionen der Unzugänglichkeit auszuloten sowie Prinzipien und Techniken ihrer praktischen und gesellschaftlichen Überwindung aufzuzeigen.

Wie verhält Antisemitismus sich zu anderen Formen gruppenbezogenen Hasses? Bisher hat man in der Forschung vor allem die Frage nach den Unterschieden und den Ähnlichkeiten derartiger Feindseligkeiten gestellt. Dieser Band geht dagegen - anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen aus der Geschichte wie aus der Gegenwart - der Frage nach, wie sich die verschiedenen Formen gruppenbezogenen Hasses aufeinander beziehen, wie sie einander rechtfertigen, wie sie miteinander agieren und welche Funktion dem Antisemitismus in diesen Interaktionen von Ressentiments zukommt.
