Sociology 30998A - The Struggle for Israeli Identity

Institution:

Gratz College

Subject:

Description:

Contemporary Israeli society is engaged in a fascinating - if painful - search for its own identity. Gone are the days, when Israeli identity was epitomized by images of the kibbutz and the pioneer sabra. Instead, a rich variety of diverse and often conflicting identities have emerged, representing a kaleidoscope of social and cultural enclaves. The object of this course is to explore, discuss and analyze these dramatic changes. The reciprocal relationship between these changes and the political, social and cultural transformations that Israel experienced during this period will also be examined and studied in depth. A broad array of genres and modes of expression - not only academic historical writings, but also literature and art - will be incorporated into our discussion.
