- 요약This dissertation studies how music shaped the social structures, belonging, and cultural aspirations of the Portuguese-Jewish community in the eighteenth-century Dutch Republic. It argues that musical practices-ranging from synagogue chant and musical adaptation to vernacular song and ritual regulation-were central mechanisms through which communal life was organized and identity was performed. Drawing on archival sources such as songbooks, synagogue proceedings, theatrical satire, and Hebrew oratorios, the study shows how music helped define what it meant to be a respectable, audible, and modern Jew in a society that offered conditional tolerance. At the heart of this cultural logic was an ideal of disciplined Jewish self-presentation: a cultivated order designed to satisfy internal standards of dignity while aligning with Dutch expectations of decorum and civility. Synagogue acoustics, cantorial practice, and musical education became tools through which the community managed both its internal hierarchies and its public reputation. Rather than framing modernity as a sudden break or a product of legal emancipation, the dissertation presents the Dutch Jewish community as a case of gradual transformation achieved through everyday sonic negotiation. It treats music not as heritage but as a medium of social labor, a means of navigating religious difference, class distinction, and gendered spaces. The community's soundscape-their voices, silences, and modes of listening-was shaped by power as much as by piety, by architectural design as much as by spiritual aspiration. The study theorizes the Jewish community as a formation in which musicality was fundamental: a mode that maintained coherence, asserted visibility, and negotiated respectability through sound. In doing so, it reorients the study of early modern Jewish life toward the embodied, performative, and socially embedded dimensions of musical practice.
