DESCRIPTION:Zionist emergence and its early developments have often been t
 old either as a person/organisation-centred narrative or a Herderian cultu
 ral-geographically distinct account (see Dubnov 2011). Through the empiric
 al case study of Danish Zionist emergence\, I will show Zionism as an enta
 ngled and networked phenomenon that forced the involved parts to rethink J
 ewish belonging as either here or there. In the lecture\, I unfold how a p
 roto-Zionist tour from London to Palestine and back in 1897 inspired the p
 articipants\, among which was the Danish-Jewish physician\, Louis Frænkel
 \, to discover and make sense of what Zionism meant to them. Based on a cu
 ltural sociological framework\, I show how this proto-Zionist trip became 
 a catalyst for re-coding Jewish values for a group of European Jews. They 
 subsequently returned to their different nation-states and local Jewish co
 mmunities with a repertoire of new ways of enacting Jewish collectivity th
 at\, among other things\, reshuffled the earlier marginalisation of small 
 Jewish communities such as the Danish.\n \nBio:\nMaja Gildin Zuckerman is

 phy at Copenhagen Business School. She was the Jim Joseph Postdoctoral Fel

 enters around questions related to modern and contemporary Jewish citizens
 hip\, the civil sphere\, and national in/exclusion relations. She has co-e
