Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies
Seminar on Russian and East European Jewish Studies
"From 'Narodnichestvo' to the Jewish 'Narod': Lev Shternberg's Search for a Secular Humanistic Judaism"
Sergei Kan, Professor of Anthropology and Native American Studies, Dartmouth College; Center Associate, Davis Center
1730 Cambridge Street, 3rd Floor, Room S354
4:15-6:00 p.m.
Lev Shternberg (1861-1927) is best known as one of the leading anthropologists of the late imperial and early Soviet Russia. However, he was also an active participant in the last stage of the radical Narodnichestvo movement of the 1880s and played a prominent role in cultural and political activities of the liberal Jewish intelligentsia of St. Petersburg in the first two decades of the 20th century. Drawing on the material from his recently published biography of Shternberg, Sergei Kan will discuss Shternberg's vision of a humanistic cultural Judaism that would bring the Russified Jewish intelligentsia back to the Jewish narod.
