MDES W3529: Variants of the Israeli Novel
3.00 Credits
Columbia University in the City of New York
This course is arranged in a manner which allows both for a historical view of the Israeli novel throughout its sixty years of existence, and, at the same time, for thematic focusing on the main issues Israeli fiction grappled with. Thus it starts with the reading of texts which offer a critical hindsight view of the development of the Zionist project throughout the first half of the twentieth century both in pre-mandatory and in mandatory Palestine; then it turns to Israel itself and its ambience during its early days (the 1950s), and to the conflicts and dichotomies which eventually changed its character, such as the emerging awareness of the devastating and lingering impact of the Holocaust, the unrelenting and seemingly unsolvable Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the coarsening of the fiber of Israeli society once it forfeited the idealistic halo of its years of nascence.
