  • A CRITICAL STUDY of HABIMA PLAYS AS Sam Levy a Dissertation
    $do. 11? A CRITICAL STUDY OF HABIMA PLAYS AS AN EXPRESSION OF ISRAELI NATIONALISM FROM 1948 TO 1968 Sam Levy A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1972 Approved by Doctoral Committee B © 1972 Samuel Levy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED II , ABSTRACT Hebrew plays produced by Habima between 1948 and 1968 were examined to determine the extent to which they gave expression to Israeli nationalism. Twenty-five scripts, comprising the complete Hebrew repertory of Habima within the twenty years scope of the study, were evaluated by means of descriptive analysis. Theme, setting, plot, and language were examined, and related professional critiques were reported. A survey of Habima*s origins as a Soviet State Theatre (1918-26) indicated the thread of continuity linking Zionist aims of the past with those of the present in Israel: a national home and a national language. Eight dominating themes were discovered in the twenty-five plays: (1) Abandon­ ment of the kibbutz and couhtry are national disasters. (2) Unity is strength, (3) Collective life is superior to city life. (4) Conser­ vative fathers against liberal sons. (5) Isolation is hazardous to the state. (6) Duty is of higher priority than personal freedom or comfort. (7) Free press is destructive to the state. (8) Coming of the Messiah necessitates the destruction of Jewish history. Designated as the Israeli National Theatre by the state in 1958, Habima is comparable to some national theatres end is unlike others. Habima responded to the needs of the Israelis by developing Hebrew as a theatrical language, producing the best of world drama, mirroring the national reality as it is and as it could be, but at the same time never becoming a tool of the government.

This exploration supports the argument that Shanghai Jewish refugees and American Jewish communities existed in an interdependent relationship at the close of the 1940s. Through an exploration of individual and institutional interactions in Shanghai, Atlanta, and New York, with an emphasis on

  • The TUC and the Histadrut, 1945-1982: a Problematic Relationship
    The TUC and the Histadrut, 1945-1982: a problematic relationship Ronnie Fraser Royal Holloway College Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Ronnie Fraser hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 The TUC and the Histadrut, 1945-1982: a problematic relationship Ronnie Fraser Abstract The main purpose of this study is to explore and explain the attitude of the British trade union movement towards Zionism and Israel and how and why it has changed over the years. There have been several studies that concentrate on the attitude of the British Labour Party towards Israel but none that focus on the relationship between the British trade union movement and its Israeli counterpart. Although the unions and the Labour Party had a close relationship, their policies were not always the same with regard to Israel. The relationship between the TUC and the Histadrut, rooted in the 1920s and 1930s, changed fundamentally after the creation of Israel in 1948. This research analyses how that relationship developed and why. Key factors included the attitude of the TUC General Secretaries, the TUC's relationship with the Foreign Office, the context of the international trade union movement, Cold War politics, Britain's post-war role in the Middle East, and the (sometimes surprising) approach of individual trades union leaders such as Jack Jones. The four wars between Israel and the Arabs between 1948-82 also played a part. One constant throughout most of this study is the pro-Zionist stance of the Parliamentary Labour Party compared with the much more ambivalent TUC-Histadrut relations.
