Mark Mazower 

In this talk, the historian and author Mark Mazower will explore the reasons why contextualisation and historical analysis are indispensable means to understand recent developments in the meaning of the term antisemitism, and offer a way to evaluate the impact of cultural and geopolitical shifts upon its usage. He will question the value of a notion of an eternally unchanging conception of the phenomenon and ask what the costs have been of conflating antisemitism and anti-Zionism. He will touch upon the contemporary politics of the issue and ask how we can explain how the fight against prejudice has come to be so politically loaded and fraught with peril.
