About this course
This course approaches modern Israel as a case study in creating a new national culture in relation to ancient history and culture and a longstanding diaspora. It explores the evolution of Israeli culture between the 1930s to the 2000s from an interdisciplinary perspective, examining various aspects of Israeli life and distinct cultural forms. Probing the continuing tensions underlying a national culture of a society comprised of multiple ethnic, social, and religious minorities, we will look into recent changes in Israeli culture including the impact of consumerism and globalization, the return to the diasporic past and traditions, and the nostalgia toward early Israeli culture. Readings (in English), draw on historical, sociological and anthropological studies as well as on literature, art and film.
