Enemy Encounters
Know your enemy, love your enemy – enmity as the most extreme form of antagonism is often full of ambivalences. Entangling hatred and fear with respect and even admiration, the construction of the enemy is seldom as clear-cut as it seems. In this podcast, members of the research and training group “Ambivalent Enmity” at Heidelberg University and the Heidelberg University of Jewish Studies will talk to selected guests to explore the ambivalences of enmity over time and space. Brace yourself for Enemy Encounters!
