Scientific and literary work
Diana Pinto's work includes numerous publications on transatlantic issues, Italian and French politics, and Jewish life in Germany and Europe since the end of the Cold War . In her autobiographical book Entre deux mondes (Between Two Worlds), she deals with the question of how individual identity can develop and be lived in the field of tension between different cultures.
She became internationally known with the thesis, published in 1996 and still debated today, that the merging of Europe after the end of the Cold War could (re) arise a European Judaism which, alongside Israeli and US-American Judaism, could possibly be “the third pillar of a world Jewish identity ”(the third pillar of a global Jewish identity).
