“…First used in 1781 by a German Orientalist, August Schlözer, the term comes from Shemite, relating to the three languages spoken by Shem's sons (Noah's grandsons): Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew. 66 Schlözer relied on a popular classification of the world's peoples based on which of Noah's children they descended from. Ham was associated with Africa (and other mostly southern warm climates), as Ham means hot.…”

Rejecting Judeo-Christian Privilege: The First Step Towards Semitic Solidarity

As a first step towards Semitic solidarity, I (cautiously) engage with a privilege that is complex, in that it is partially attributed and partially assumed: Judeo-Christian privilege, which has yet to be studied by scholars. I begin by conceptualizing and analyzing Judeo-Christian privilege, which, like all privileges, is both material and ideational. Next, I consider the argument for and against the uniqueness of the Shoah that helped establish Judeo-Christian privilege. I then turn to arguments about anti-Semitism, and specifically its relation to other forms of racism and how these argument support Judeo-Christian privilege. Lastly, I argue against using a rhetoric of uniqueness, because it potentially prevents the identification and challenging of a violent pattern of exclusion that remains present today. Without denying the importance of differences between genocides and forms of racism, I aim to demonstrate how these arguments can be an impediment to solidarity and justice.

“…Both the category and its appellation were fashioned by the previously dominant "religious" categories. First used in 1781 by a German Orientalist, August Schlözer, the term "Semite" comes from Shemite in relation to the three languages spoken by Shem's sons (Noah's grandsons): Arabic, Aramaic, and Hebrew (Bigalke 2012). Furthermore, Schlözer relied on a popular classification of the world's peoples based on which of Noah's children they descended from.…”

The Race-Religion Constellation: A European Contribution to the Critical Philosophy of Race

Critical Philosophy of Race

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article traces the hidden race-religion constellation in Europe. The term “race-religion constellation” refers to the connection or co-constitution of the categories of race and “religion.” Specifically, the term “race-religion constellation” is used to refer to the practice of classifying people into races according to categories we now associate with the term “religion.” This calls for a consideration of European history and forms of racism in Europe, such as anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. This article aims to provide an alternative non-secularized or biological account of the origins of the socially constructed category of race in Europe. The alternative story begins in the sixteenth century, when the category of “religion” as a means for classifying peoples was both constructed and politicized. In tracing this alternative story, this article seeks to outline a framework for a critical philosophy of race focused on a European religion line that intersects with Du Bois's color line.

Bir Terimin Arkeolojisi: Antisemitizmin Teolojik ve Politik Tarihi

Bir Terimin Arkeolojisi: Antisemitizmin Teolojik ve Politik Tarihi Öz: Antisemitizm teolojik, psikolojik, sosyolojik ve politik boyutları olan çok yönlü ve karmaşık bir terimdir. Bu kavram bütün yönleriyle sadece Yahudiliği ilgilendiren bir fenomen değildir. Aksine ortaya çıktığı antik zamanlardan bugüne küresel bağlamda doğru anlaşılması gereken bir kavramdır. Özellikle modern dünyanın şekillenmesinde etkin olan Yahudilik, Hristiyanlık ve Müslümanlığın karşılıklı ilişkilerinin tarihsel sürecinin birlikte okunarak değerlendirilmesi, önem arz eden bir husustur. Aynı zamanda ifade etmek gerekir ki kavramlar yaşayan organizmalar gibidir. Dolayısıyla antisemitizmin yaşam öyküsü değerlendirilirken özüne ilişkin ipuçları verecek etimolojik yapısı da dikkate alınmalıdır. Zira bu kavrama dair oluşturulan birtakım algılarda meydana gelen anlam kaymaları ancak böyle bir metodik yaklaşımla fark edilebilir. Her şeyden öte antisemitizmin bu yazıya konu edilmesindeki temel amaç, dünya gündemini meşgul eden bazı temel sorunların özüne dair mümkün olduğunca doğru saptamalar yapmaya gayret etmektir.
