In light of the upcoming 85th anniversary of the Lateran Pacts and current debates on the position of the Catholic Curch on the Jews during World War II, Centro Primo Levi has invited an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore and discuss the legal, social, political and economic aspects of the relations between Church and State in the fascist era.
The conference will offer an overview of the Lateran Pacts, background on the negotiations between Mussolini and Pius XI and an analysis of the ways in which the Pacts affected Italian society and the rights of minorities with particular focus on the subsequent re-organization of the Jewish communities. Read Speakers include: Francesco Margiotta Broglio (University of Florence), Giorgio Fabre (independent scholar), Elena Mazzini (University of Florence), Ilaria Pavan (University of Pisa) and Michele Sarfatti (CDEC), Martin Menke (Rivier University), Silvana Patriarca (Fordham University).

PRINTED MATTER | TELOS' LATEST ISSUE: THE PARTICULARITIES OF FASCIST ANTISEMITISM
Join the editors and contributors for a presentation of the new issue and Telos' 45th Anniversary! October 26th at 1 pm at Casa Italiana Zerilli Marim�.
Franklin H. Adler
When we examine European anti-Semitism during the 1930s, and especially the Shoah, the case of Germany looms so large that the Nazi regime immediately appears as the paradigmatic form of fascism and the manifold policies directed against European Jewry during the 1930s little more than German racial policy writ large. Without in any way trivializing or, worse, relativizing in an ethical sense the German case, one might nevertheless suggest that it occupies too much conceptual space and occludes a more precise comparative understanding of other European cases where anti-Semitic policies had been autonomously generated, relatively independent of direct Nazi pressure. In this sense, decentering the German case might be a necessary first step toward a less perspective on what happened elsewhere. Read

QUEST ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN SEEKING, BUILDING AND REPRESENTING PEACE
The 5th issue of Quest, edited by Marcella Simoni, features ten papers on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Rather than focusing the so-called "hundred years war of the Middle East" through the lens of opposed nationalisms, questioned borders and contested land, ethnicity or citizenship issues, it examines the theoretical approaches and practical experiments of coexistence Israelis and Palestinians have devised from the 1930s to the present.
