  • Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-War Culture
    Religions 2012, 3, 424–440; doi:10.3390/rel3020424 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Haunted Encounters: Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-war Culture Birgit Lang School of Languages and Linguistics, The University of Melbourne, Parkville 3010 VIC, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 2 May 2012; in revised form: 11 May 2012 / Accepted: 12 May 2012 / Published: 14 May 2012 Abstract: In an essay titled ‗The Exiled Tongue‘ (2002), Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertész develops a genealogy of Holocaust and émigré writing, in which the German language plays an important, albeit contradictory, role. While the German language signified intellectual independence and freedom of self-definition (against one‘s roots) for Kertész before the Holocaust, he notes (based on his engagement with fellow writer Jean Améry) that writing in German created severe difficulties in the post-war era. Using the examples of Hilde Spiel and Friedrich Torberg, this article explores this notion and asks how the loss of language experienced by Holocaust survivors impacted on these two Austrian-Jewish writers. The article argues that, while the works of Spiel and Torberg are haunted by the Shoah, the two writers do not write in the post-Auschwitz language that Kertész delineates in his essays, but are instead shaped by the exile experience of both writers. At the same time though, Kertész‘ concept seems to be haunted by exile, as his reception of Jean Améry‘s works, which form the basis of his linguistic genealogies, shows an inability to integrate the experience of exile.

Bialik, Dvorah Baron, S.Y. Agnon, Gabriel Preil, Yehuda Amichai, Aharon Appelfeld, Dan Pagis, A.B. Yehoshua, Amos Oz, Etgar Keret, Batya Gur, and more. This course aims to illuminate some of the factors that make this literature distinctive and fascinating. Hebrew is a language that has been in continuous literary use over millennia. Dramatic historical circumstances and ideological forces fostered the revival of the language as a modern tongue and shaped Hebrew literary endeavors up through current time.

  • An Introduction to Israeli Cinema
    Israeli Series Autumn/Winter 2016-2017 An Introduction to Israeli Cinema Cinema of Israel Article sourced from Wikiwand: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Cinema_of_Israel History Movies were made in Mandatory Palestine from the beginning of the silent film era although the development of the local film industry accelerated after the establishment of the state. Early films were mainly documentary or news roundups, shown in Israeli cinemas before the movie started. One of the pioneers of cinema in Israel was Baruch Agadati. Agadati purchased cinematographer Yaakov Ben Dov's film archives in 1934 when Ben Dov retired from filmmaking and together with his brother Yitzhak established the AGA Newsreel. He directed the early Zionist film entitled This is the Land (1935). In 1948, Yosef Navon, a soundman, and Yitzhak Agadati, producer of the first Hebrew-language film with his brother, Baruch Agadati, found an investor, businessman Mordechai Navon, who invested his own money in film and lab equipment. Agadati used his connections among Haganah comrades to acquire land for a studio. In 1949 the Geva film labs were established on the site of an abandoned woodshed in Givatayim. .(הישראלי הסרט לעידוד החוק) In 1954, the Knesset passed the Law for the Encouragement of Israeli Films Leading filmmakers in the 1960s were Menahem Golan, Ephraim Kishon, and Uri Zohar. The first Bourekas film was Sallah Shabati, produced by Ephraim Kishon in 1964. In 1965 Uri Zohar produced the film Hole in the Moon, influenced by French New Wave films. In the first decade of the 21st century, several Israeli films won awards in film festivals around the world.

"In the provincial towns," he said, "our people are in actual peril. When the Germans are in a bad mood, they break Jewish windows. When the Czechs are out of sorts, they break into Jewish homes. The poor are beginning to emigrate. But they don't know where to go." Mrs. Laschner chose this moment to scream to her husband, "Moriz! You must take me to the Burg Theatre the day after tomorrow!" "Don't interrupt!" replied the broker. "Dr. Weiss is telling us about the situation in Moravia. Not pleasant, 'pon my honor." Samuel Weinberger, father of the bridegroom, broke into the conversation. "Being a rabbi, Doctor, you see things rather black." "White (Weiss) always sees black," interjected one of the wits, but the pun went unnoticed. "I feel quite safe in my factory," continued the elder Weinberger. "When they make any trouble for me, I send for the police, or call on the commandant.

  • Israeli Author Amos Oz Once Said About His Country
    Prof. Dr. Anat Feinberg Hochschule für jüdische Studien, Heidelberg Hebrew Literature and Israeli History DKFZ, Heidelberg, 18.7.2008 Ladies and Gentlemen, Gvirotai ve-rabotai The best-known Israeli author worldwide, Amos Oz, once said about his country: “This nation was not built on the valour of the army, it was founded on books.” And anyone aware of the role which literature has been playing throughout the turbulant history of the Jewish people and into the present, will doubtlessly agree with him. In a country with over seven million residents, writers are recognised and much-respected figures. They voice their opinion on cultural and political issues and contribute extensively to public discourse. Authors such as Amos Oz, Zeruya Shalev and David Grossman sell well over 80,000 copies of any new title and the weekly bestseller list features older and younger writers, serious and trivial literature, historical novels along with thrillers. One tendency is conscpicuous: More and more Israelis read books in the national language, namely in Hebrew. Indeed, the renaissance of the Hebrew language is to my mind one of most fabulous accomplishments of the Zionist movement. The Hebrew language which for generations was merely a written language, that of the Scriptures and the liturgy, read at best, but hardly spoken, was awakened as it were from its beauty´s sleep and newly moulded in the Jewish Altneuland, to use Theodor Herzl´s name for the new home in Palestine. Indeed, Hebrew has become the language of daily life in Israel, the language which unites immigrants from Russia, Yemen, Germany and the United States, a means of communication as well as the natural fabric of literature.

  • 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.

  • Fragments of a Hungarian Past in the Literature of 1.5 and Second- Generation Austro-Hungarian Immigrants in Israel
    Rosen, Ilana. “Fragments of a Hungarian Past in the Literature of 1.5 and Second-Generation Austro-Hungarian Immigrants in Israel.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 7 (2014): http://ahea.pitt.edu DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2014.138 Fragments of a Hungarian Past in the Literature of 1.5 and Second- Generation Austro-Hungarian Immigrants in Israel Ilana Rosen Abstract: Contemporary Israeli literature is presently preoccupied with the past diasporic lives of the previous generation, the one that came to Israel from practically all four winds in the mid-late twentieth century. Hungarian-Israeli writers—e.g., Yoel Hoffmann, Judith Rotem, Yael Neeman and Esti G. Hayim—constitute a distinct group within this stream of 1.5 and second generation poets and novelists who have written about immigration and State foundation, often using a documentary or fictionalized memoirist mode. This article highlights the components of these writers' complex burden of a whole world destroyed, in most cases, not long before they were born and which they strive to restore or at least re- imagine in their oeuvre as contemporary Israeli writers. These components include: Holocaust trauma and its transference to the second generation, Hungarian speaking families within the Israeli multicultural setting, the ties of these families with their Hungarian foreign relatives, and household objects related to this past. In most cases, the attempt to revive or retrace the Hungarian past of these families proves to be an impossible mission and the narrator children are forced to reach the realization that they are, probably, a "desert generation"; that is, the last to even recall and reverberate the lost, bygone worlds of their Hungarian-Jewish parents.

Kishon, A.B. Yehoshua, A. Oz, M. Shalev, D. Grossman) with the emphasis on such literary device as estrangement. Estrangement is seen as the intrinsic part of the linguistic worldview of these authors and as a means of translation, complementary to translation strategies of domestication and foreignization. Estrangement is meant to be specific intonation of the authors of the th4 period of literature in modern Hebrew and is realized in different stylistic and grammar constructions.

T “” I’ ethnic divide between Ashkenazi and Sephardi or Mizrahi Jews occurs in the opening scene of the famous immigration comedy, Sallah Shabati.¹ )e film sets up the differences between two kinds of Jews right from the start. It opens with the landing of an airplane in the Tel-Aviv airport, from which two very different families of olim, or immigrants, emerge. )e first is a worldly American couple that briskly steps down the stairs, smartly dressed in matching suits, carrying a multitude of suitcases. Following the American burghers is a very different immigrant family: Sallah Shabati (Haim Topol)—the paterfamilias and the eponymous hero of the film, his seven children, his wife, and an assortment of relatives.

  • Israeli Cinema
    Department of Cinema Studies New York University Spring 2007 ISRAELI CINEMA Ohad Landesman H72.0136.001 Mondays 12:30-4:30pm email: [email protected] office hours: Mondays, 10:00am-12:00pm, room 698 on 719 Broadway. Since its origination in Palestine almost seventy years ago, Israeli cinema has been forced to deal with the hardships of representing the culture and history of a country under a never-ending siege, a nation liking to see itself as facing an ongoing war for survival. This course surveys the development of Israeli cinema in its social, historical and aesthetic contexts, exploring a remarkable evolution from almost primitive infancy to sophisticated maturity of a national cinema still struggling to even exist. Focusing on cinematic representations of state-building, war and trauma, military service, the Holocaust, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and the multifaceted Israeli Jewish identity, this course will attempt to provide insight into both the history of Israel since its establishment in 1948 and the bourgeoning culture of its indigenous filmmaking.
