Brazilian Jews in Israel: Subjectivities in (a) Conflict

Professor Miguel Vale de Almeida will address key aspects of his current fieldwork in Israel where he is working with a network of Brazilian Jews who migrated to Israel and became citizens. This research addresses the issue of Jewish and Israeli identity and how the State promotes and shapes subjectivities that were initially formulated elsewhere and that were faced with multiple ‘choices’ – Brazilian, Diasporic Jewish, Zionist or non-Zionist, etc.
