b'Speaker: Dr. Paul Iganski\\n\\nAffiliation: Professor, University of Essex; Lecturer, Lancaster University\\n\\nTitle: "Playing the \\u2018Nazi-card\\u2019: Antisemitic Discourse Against Israel"\\n\\nConvener: Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP)\\n\\nLocation: Yale University, New Haven, CT\\n\\nDate: November 20, 2008\\n\\nDescription: Dr. Paul Iganski asserts that the inclusion of particular modes of criticism of Israel in definitions of antisemitism has provoked controversy, resulting in a war of words which has stagnated into an intellectual and discursive cul-de-sac of claim and counter-claim about what does and does not qualify as antisemitism. He attempts to shift the focus of analysis of contemporary antisemitism away from labelling and defining the problem, to an understanding of the consequences of particular discourse.'
