  • Perpetual Contact: Mobile Communication, Private Talk, Public Performance Edited by James E
    Cambridge University Press 0521807719 - Perpetual Contact: Mobile Communication, Private Talk, Public Performance Edited by James E. Katz and Mark A. Aakhus Frontmatter More information Perpetual Contact The spread of mobile communication, most obtrusively as cell phones but increasingly in other wireless devices, is affecting people’s lives and relationships to a previously unthought-of extent. Mobile phones, which are fast becoming ubiquitous, affect every aspect of our personal and professional lives either directly or indirectly. They have transformed social practices and changed the way we do business, yet surprisingly little serious academic workhas been done on them. This book,with contributions from the foremost researchers in the field, will be the first study of the impact of the mobile phone on contemporary society from a social-scientific perspective. Providing a comprehensive overview of mobile phones and social interaction, it comprises an introduction covering the key issues, a series of unique national studies and surveys, and a final section examining theoretical and practical implications. James E. Katz is Professor of Communication at Rutgers University. His publications include Congress and National Energy Policy (1984) and Connections: Social and Cultural Studies of the Telephone in American Life (1999). Katz has authored more than thirty peer-reviewed journal arti- cles; his works have been translated into five languages and republished in numerous edited collections. MarkA. Aakhusis Assistant Professor of Communication at Rutgers. He has published in technology and communication journals, and his workappears regularly in international publications on argumentation and disputing processes. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521807719 - Perpetual Contact: Mobile Communication, Private Talk, Public Performance Edited by James E.

Schejtert ABSTRACT The regulation of transfrontier broadcasting in Israel has served a system of information and cultural control motivated by a nationalistic-protectionist ideology ever since the 1960s. Although the policies regulating Israeli broadcasting have at times shown greater openness to Western values and international influences, this article demonstrates through an analysis of legal documents how regulators have reverted in recent years to a more restrictive policy regarding the free flow of transborder communications.

  • Balancing Atrocities and Forced Forgetting: Memory Laws As a Means of Social Control in Israel
    Law& Law & Social Inquiry Social Volume 46, Issue 3, 705–730, August 2021 Inquiry Balancing Atrocities and Forced Forgetting: Memory Laws as a Means of Social Control in Israel Yifat Gutman and Noam Tirosh This article examines memory laws as a new form of social control, demonstrating the significance of cultural memory to law and society scholarship. It focuses on two Israeli laws that seek to control public debate by giving voice to one marginalized group in order to silence another. The article presents two forms of such utilization of the law: forced forgetting and the balancing of atrocities. Forced forgetting validates the memory of one group of people over another group. Balancing atrocities equates victims, pitting the suffering of one group against that of another for the purpose of dismissing the former’s claims for recognition and redress. The 2011 Nakba Law, an example of forced forgetting, dismisses the Palestinian minority’s experience to amplify the memory of the Jewish major- ity, while the 2014 Jewish Nakba Law creates an analogy between Palestinian redress claims and those of the Mizrahi Jews in order to balance the atrocities that these groups suffered. We show that both forms of control have limitations that create gaps between legislation and implementation, yet their political-symbolic impact is much greater. INTRODUCTION Memory laws that fortify acertain ideal of the nationin light of public contestations of its past have been increasing since 2000 (Gutman 2016, 2019). Their legislators use mem- ory to control what “truth” is and is not allowed in the public domain. By classifying certain interpretations of the past as deviant and stigmatizing, regulating and punishing the groups that express them, memory laws exert social control (Cohen 1985; Innes 2003; Dudai 2017).

Schejter PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY, USA The dominant role played by electronic media, in particular the visual media of film and television, has earned them recognition as ‘the great history educators of our time’ (Weinstein, 2001: 27) and the ‘chief carrier of historical messages in our culture’ (Rosenstone, 1995: 3).1 And it has been seen as plausible that the modern sense of belonging to a particular territorially based nation – a process in which ‘imagined’ (Anderson, 1983) or ‘mediated’ (Poster, 1999) communi- ties are created – is linked to the development of communications (Thompson, 1995: 62).
