Imagined Israel(s): Representations of the Jewish State in the Arts by Rocco Giansante, Luna Goldberg (Jewish Identities in a Changing World, 35)
Requirements: .PDF reader, 20 mb
Overview: The return of Jews to their ancestral land can be seen as an act of imagination. A new country, citizenship, language, and institutions needed to be imagined in order to be created. The arts, too, have contributed to this act of envisioning and shaping the Jewish state. By examining artistic representations of Israel, Imagined Israel(s): Representations of the Jewish State in the Arts explores the ways in which the Israel imagined abroad and the one conjured within the country intersect, offering a space for the co-existence of sociopolitical, cultural, and ideological differences and tensions.
