Assessing the impact of London's Creative Enterprise Zones: cultural policy, 'good growth' and inclusive urbanfutures

这个项目开发了一份基于参与者的伦敦斯坦福德山哈西德犹太社区的民族志，考察了它与犹太复国主义、传统主义和城市的关系。虽然关于犹太人散居海外的文献很多，但关于极端正统派犹太人和其中的哈西德派犹太人的学术文献有限，但这些确实存在的描述主要集中在北美和以色列/巴勒斯坦的社区。虽然哈西德派犹太人经常被排除在主流媒体关于犹太教的讨论之外，但他们在人口统计上构成了犹太教中增长最快的部分，据估计，他们可能很快就会占到世界犹太人口的五分之一。与此同时，这个群体在很大程度上被排除在世界范围内关于犹太教的讨论之外，世界各地的犹太教主要由美国的现代犹太复国主义犹太人和以色列国的政治主导。在确实存在哈西德社区的媒体报道的地方，他们通过一个维度的镜头关注社区的激进传统主义和严格虔诚的生活方式。还有哪些说法试图通过西方自由派政治的视角来量化他们的政治观点。然而，该社区对犹太复国主义、宗教和文化认同的立场是高度微妙的，很少在犹太世界内外得到理解。这在很大程度上是三个关键因素的结果：-哈西德派犹太人存在于世俗民族主义犹太复国主义计划的镜头之外。-哈西德派犹太人在很大程度上不在自由派和现代东正教建立的世界各地散居的犹太人生活的基础之外。-哈西德派犹太人既是伦敦日常生活中多元文化经济和社会的核心，也是被排除在外的中心。因此，这项研究的目的将是对斯坦福德山的哈西德社区进行深入的民族志研究，以评估领导人和社区成员对犹太复国主义、传统和城市的立场。这项研究的三个目标如下：1.确定所陈述的立场与犹太复国主义、传统主义和城市在社区领袖中的关系2。将这些立场和做法置于犹太世界更广泛的侨民政治中以及在多元文化伦敦的背景下。考察这些紧张关系在个人成员的行为和日常城市生活中的表现。追求这三个目标将有助于在犹太和非犹太世界的更广泛的政治中彻底了解社区的政治立场。在全球因散居海外的犹太人在巴勒斯坦/以色列持续局势中的作用和共谋而加剧紧张之际，这个社区为犹太人的生活提供了另一种愿景，即在多元文化的城市范围内并列放置神权犹太人生活。它不仅对于理解犹太教和犹太复国主义意识形态，而且对于更广泛地理解多元文化主义、伦敦和全球城市，都是一个有价值的案例研究。

This project develops a participant-based ethnography of the Hasidic Jewish community in Stamford Hill, London, examining its relationship to Zionism, traditionalism, and the city. Although the literature on the Jewish Diaspora is extensive, the academic literature on Ultra-Orthodox Jews, and Hasidic Jews within that, has been limited, those accounts that do exist focus largely on the communities in North America and Israel/Palestine. While often excluded from mainstream media discourse on Judaism, Hasidic Jews constitute the fastest-growing sector of Judaism demographically, with estimates suggesting that they may soon constitute one fifth of the Jewish population in the world. At the same time, this community is largely excluded from the discourse on Judaism worldwide, which is largely dominated by modern Zionist Jews in the United States and the politics of the State of Israel. Where media accounts do exist of Hasidic communities, they focus on the community's radical traditionalism and strictly pious way of life through a one-dimensional lens. What other accounts exist attempts to quantify their political views through the lens of western liberal politics. However, the community's stances on Zionism, religion, and cultural identity are highly nuanced and seldom understood both inside and outside the Jewish world. This is largely a result of three key factors:- Hasidic Jews exist outside of the lens of the secular-nationalist Zionist project.- Hasidic Jews are largely outside of the liberal and Modern Orthodox establishment of diaspora Jewish life worldwide.- Hasidic Jews are both central to and removed from the multicultural economy and society of day-to-day life in London. Consequently, the aim of this study will be to conduct an in-depth ethnography of Stamford Hill's Hasidic community to evaluate both leaders and community members' stance on Zionism, tradition, and the city. The three objectives of the study are as follows: 1. To establish what the stated positions are in relation to Zionism, traditionalism, and the city are among community leaders2. To frame these positions and practices within wider diasporic politics in the Jewish world as well as within the context of multicultural London.3. To examine the manifestation of these tensions in individual members' behaviors and everyday urban life. The pursuit of these three objectives will help develop a thorough understanding of the community's political stance within the wider polics of the Jewish and non-Jewish worlds. At a time of heightened global tension over the Jewish diaspora's role and complicity in the ongoing situation in Palestine/Israel, this community offers an alternative vision for what Jewish life looks like, a juxtaposition of theocratic Jewish life in the multicultural urban sphere. It is a valuable case study not only for understanding Judaism and Zionist ideology, but also for understanding multiculturalism, London, and the global city more broadly.
