As a social and political phenomenon, antisemitism has been and continues to be structured in multiple dimensions and found in almost every social context. Therefore, esearch into the structures, contexts and dynamics of antisemitism cannot be restricted to any one specific discipline, theoretical construct, avenue of research, or methodology - just as antisemitism itself obeys no such restrictions. The "Interdisciplinary Studies on Antisemitism" series will address this plurality, presenting a broad spectrum of research from the social sciences, cultural studies and the humanities, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of antisemitism.
