Jewish Spatial Practices in Barcelona as Claims for Recognition

In this article, I argue that the spatial practices of the contemporary Jewish organisations in Barcelona’s medieval Jewish neighbourhood represent claims for public recognition. As a small and quite invisible minority within the diverse city population, Jewish groups increasingly claim that their presence in the city should be recognised by political authorities and ordinary citizens alike. They do so through a series of spatial practices around the medieval Jewish neighbourhood, which include (1) heritage production, (2) the renaming of streets and (3) the temporary marking of urban spaces with Jewish symbols. I have grouped these practices under the umbrella concept of ‘place-recovering strategies’ because all of them attempt to ‘recover’ the lost urban environments inhabited by their Jewish predecessors before they were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. By recovering I do not mean a mere passive restoring of urban spaces and places but rather a creative process in which historical narratives and myths of the past play a crucial role. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, I argue that these place-recovering strategies are part of a quest for the visibility, legitimacy and recognition of Jews.

巴塞罗那犹太人的空间实践获得认可

在本文中,我认为巴塞罗那中世纪犹太人社区中当代犹太人组织的空间实践代表着公众认可的主张。犹太人团体在各个城市人口中都是一小部分人,几乎看不见,因此越来越多的犹太人声称他们在城市中的存在应得到政治当局和普通市民的认可。他们通过围绕中世纪犹太人社区的一系列空间实践来做到这一点,包括(1)遗产生产,(2)街道更名以及(3)用犹太人符号临时标记城市空间。我将这些做法归类为“场所恢复策略”,因为它们所有人都试图“恢复”其前任犹太人居住的失去的城市环境,然后再将其驱逐出14和15世纪。恢复,我的意思不是仅仅消极地恢复城市空间和场所,而是一个创造性的过程,在这个过程中历史叙事和过去的神话起着至关重要的作用。我利用定性的田野调查,认为这些场所恢复策略是对犹太人的可见度,合法性和认可的追求的一部分。恢复,我的意思不是仅仅消极地恢复城市空间和场所,而是一个创造性的过程,在这个过程中历史叙事和过去的神话起着至关重要的作用。我利用定性的田野调查,认为这些场所恢复策略是对犹太人的可见度,合法性和认可的追求的一部分。恢复,我的意思不是仅仅消极地恢复城市空间和场所,而是一个创造性的过程,其中历史叙事和过去的神话起着至关重要的作用。我利用定性的田野调查,认为这些场所恢复策略是对犹太人的可见度,合法性和认可的追求的一部分。
