מחקר בין מוסדי בעקבות כתב העת הדו-לשוני –DAROM מחקרים רב-תחומיים בנושא היהודים ותרבויות הים התיכון

About us:
We are an interdisciplinary group based in different faculties and departments at Oranim College. We arrange academic meetings and discussions about thematic matters related to Hebrew, Jewish and Judeo-Jewish history and culture, intercultural Mediterranean studies, and Jewish and Hebrew literature, philosophy, and arts and crafts, with the aim of creating a core group of researchers in a continuous dialogue with the DAROM Institute (Granada) and, through it, with other institutions and universities that participate in DAROM's  academic network, through their members. By doing so, the group maintains collaborative ties with the University of Granada, which in recent years, has engineered meetings and conferences in Israel and in Spain, joint publications, and an art exhibition of Oranim's graduate students at the Museo Casa de los Tiros (Granada). The electronic academic journal DAROM, based at the DAROM Institute (with an international academic editorial board), was launched in 2018 and was quickly recognized as an excellent platform for the publication and exchange of interdisciplinary knowledge on the group's topics.

Professor Yael Guilat, Dr. Liora Goldman, Dr. Ayelet Oettinger, and Dr. Avi Kadish. 

Two articles have already been published in the DAROM journal (below).
Yael Guilat, The Massada series: Ethos and myth in the first works of Elie Shamir. DAROM 1 (2019), 105–124.
Ayelet Oettinger, New objectives for ancient poems: Using piyyût in the school educational program “songs and roots” (širim wě-šorâšim) to instill love of the homeland. DAROM 2 (2020). 99–126.
We intend to encourage additional publications and even a special issue in the future.

Ongoing research: Dr. Ayelet Oettinger and Avi Kadish are collaborating in researching  the Hebrew maqama and rhymed prose in its affinity to Jewish thought in the Middle Ages.

Events: a three-day conference  was organized in Israel (October 2020) with the Salti Institute for Ladino Studies at Bar-Ilan University, in conjunction with Prof. Shemuel Refael Vivanti. It has been postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic but we hope to hold it in 2021. As part of this conference,  we were in charge of organizing a day of debates, conducting an intercultural tour of Nazareth, and inaugurating a thematic art exhibition.
