    Israeli Jazz Musicians in the International Scene: A Case Study of Musical Transculturation in Contemporary Jazz Performance and Composition by Noam Lemish A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Performance Faculty of Music University of Toronto © 2018 Copyright by Noam Lemish ii Israeli Jazz Musicians in the International Scene: A Case Study of Musical Transculturation in Contemporary Jazz Performance and Composition Noam Lemish Doctor of Musical Arts in Performance Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a case study of musical transculturation in jazz performance and composition through the examination of the practices of Israeli jazz musicians who began to operate on the international jazz scene starting in the 1990s. An impressive number of Israeli jazz performers have received widespread exposure and acclaim over the last twenty years. Artists such as Omer Avital (bass), Anat Cohen (woodwinds), Avishai Cohen (bass) among many others have successfully established themselves on a global scale, creating music that melds various aspects of American jazz with an array of Israeli, Jewish and Middle-Eastern influences and those from numerous other non- Western musical traditions. While each musician is developing his or her own approach to musical transculturation, common threads connect them all. Unraveling these entangled sounds and related discourses lies at the center of my study. While this is the first comprehensive study of the contributions

  • Israeli Housing and Nation Building: Establishment of the State-Citizen Contract, 1948–1953
    T D S R VOLUME XXIII NUMBER II 2 0 1 2 5 1 Israeli Housing and Nation Building: Establishment of the State-Citizen Contract, 1948–1953 YAEL ALLWEIL This article examines the formation and consolidation of a housing-based social contract between state and citizens during the first years of Israeli national sovereignty. Calls for a renewal of this contract, including demands for equal access to housing, underlay the mass social unrest in the country during the summer of 2011. Initially, the creation of Is- rael in 1948 brought a housing “big bang” to Israel-Palestine. Mass Jewish migration both demanded vast housing solutions and brought a mass loss of housing among the Palestin- ian population. The year 1948 also marked a watershed in the use of housing as a nation- building strategy within the Zionist movement, transforming it from an effort based on accumulating self-governing subjects to one obliged to house newly empowered citizens within a citizen-legitimized political framework. The article shows how these conditions ultimately led to the articulation of a state-citizen contract that included a “housing regime” aimed at transforming immigrants into proper citizens. Despite the centrality of the inter- ests of the state in these activities, however, the article also explores how housing programs were planned and produced in direct response to continuing demands by citizens. The Yael Allweil is the 2012–2013 Post-Doctoral consolidation of “regime” and “subjects” as the opposing ends of modern governance, as Fellow at the Harry S. Truman Institute, Hebrew University of Jerusalem; she suggested by Foucault, was thus deeply contested.

A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures by George Allen Pierce Jr. 2015 © Copyright by George Allen Pierce Jr. 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “The Territory Facing Jaffa”: Cultural Landscapes of a Mediterranean Port and its Hinterland (ca. 2000–539 B.C.E.) by George Allen Pierce Jr. Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Aaron Alexander Burke, Chair This dissertation presents a synthesis of settlement patterns in the central coastal plain of modern Israel from the onset of the Middle Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age (ca. 2000–539 B.C.E.). The ancient mound of Jaffa, situated on the southern Levantine coast south of the outlet of the Yarkon River, was the closest maritime outlet for Jerusalem and other highland centers in ancient times. Jaffa has the distinct status of being one of the few ports on the southern Levantine coast featuring an almost continual occupation history from the Middle Bronze Age through the modern era. Yet a lack of inclusion for Jaffa and other hinterland sites in archaeological and historical studies of the coastal plain is evident. In light of renewed excavations on the ancient mound of Jaffa, new analyses of the site’s and region’s material culture recovered from excavations conducted over the last sixty years necessitate the current examination of regional settlement patterns and systems to elucidate the potential economic and cultural connections ii between the port and inland sites, both urban and rural in nature by providing a regional perspective for material culture recovered at Jaffa.
