David Grossman
DAVID GROSSMAN Hans Christian Andersen Author Award 2020 Nominated by IBBY Israel A statement on the Grossman contribution to literature for children and young people. David Grossman (born in Jerusalem, 1954) is a major figure in contemporary Hebrew literature. He writes for older and younger readers, in alternating order: Following every adult book, Grossman publishes a book for younger readers, followed by an adult book, etc. In his literary and journalistic writing Grossman does not shy away from complicated and controversial issues. He fights for the human rights of people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. He is active in social justice causes and in peace initiatives between Arabs and Jews. In 1982 he published his first children’s book, Duel, about a twelve- year-old boy who makes friends with an elderly man in a nursing home. His writing for children and young adults encompasses a wide range of topics. In his picture books, he focuses on aspects of children’s daily life (Uri’s Special Language; A Brand-New Baby Brother) or their rich and wonderful imaginations, which can generate all sorts of fears (Itamar Walks on Walls; Itamar Meets a Rabbit, Itamar the Dream Hunter), worries (Don’t Worry Ruti, Itamar the Dream Hunter), or fantasies, sometimes involving imaginary friends (Hadas’ Friend). In Grossman’s picture books, the child’s world contains an empathic adult, the father, who respects the child, listens to him lovingly, and is able to suggest an unusual solution to the difficulty confronting the child, which the child is in turn quick to accept (the Itamar books; Who Wants a Piggy-Back?, Don’t Worry Ruti, etc.) In his writing for young adults Grossman deals with complicated issues, including ones that were considered taboo in the young adult Hebrew literature of their day. -

Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation Within Genre Television
Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation within Genre Television by Courtney Suggs A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media Studies Middle Tennessee State University December 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Katie Foss, Chair Dr. Sanjay Asthana Dr. Sally Ann Cruikshank ABSTRACT Using textual genre analysis, this research studied representation in primetime soap operas Scandal, How To Get Away with Murder, and Empire. Two hundred and eighty- three episodes were viewed to understand how black female identity is represented in primetime soap and how genre influences those representation. Using Collins (2009) theory of controlling images, this study found that black female protagonists were depicted as jezebels and matriarchs. The welfare mother stereotype was updated by portrayals of black woman as hard working. Soap opera conventions such as heavy talk helped provide context to stereotypical portrayals while conventions such as melodrama lead to reactive characterization. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION……………………………………………….….....1 Background……………………………………………………...………........3 CHAPTER II: LITERATURE REVIEW.....................................................................9 Black Women in Scripted Television…...........................................................9 Television Effects on Viewers……………………………………………....14 CHAPTER III: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK………………………………....18 Representation Theory……………………………………………………...18 Genre Theory……………………………………………………………….19 -

Rhetorics of Belonging
Rhetorics of Belonging Postcolonialism across the Disciplines 14 Bernard, Rhetorics of Belonging.indd 1 09/09/2013 11:17:03 Postcolonialism across the Disciplines Series Editors Graham Huggan, University of Leeds Andrew Thompson, University of Exeter Postcolonialism across the Disciplines showcases alternative directions for postcolonial studies. It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline – English literary/ cultural studies – and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.

The Palestinians, As Is Well Known, Are Making Use of the Ancient Jewish Strategy of Exile and Have Removed Themselves from History
Imagining exodus for Israel-Palestine: reading the secular and the sacred, Diaspora and homeland, in Edward Said and David Grossman Anna Hartnell, University of London, Goldsmiths College The Palestinians, as is well known, are making use of the ancient Jewish strategy of exile and have removed themselves from history. They close their eyes against harsh reality, and stubbornly clamping down their eyelids, they fabricate their promised land. (David Grossman) There is no Israel without the conquest of Canaan and the expulsion or inferior status of the Canaanites – then as now. (Edward Said) The one who merely flees is not yet free; in fleeing he is still conditioned by that from which he flees. (Hegel) Introduction The Exodus narrative functions allegorically in the service of all participants in the Palestinian-Israeli dispute. This paper will concentrate specifically on Israeli renderings of this ancient story. The creation of the state of Israel suspends conceptions of Jewish identity between the tropes of Diaspora and homeland, secular Zionism and religious messianism, and the question of Exodus emerges as a central paradigm through which to examine religion as a major facet in what is often considered to be a predominantly secular Israeli identity. Itself caught in the tension between enacting a gesture of belonging and one of escape, the Exodus narrative calls into question the possibility of its central meaning: a going out, a new departure: exodus. By conjuring the dream of the ‘Promised Land’, this biblical myth weaves together national and religious sensibilities and projects them onto the same site. In so doing it links nationhood to an economy of redemption and thus seemingly problematizes those narratives that locate Zionism within a framework of so-called ‘Exodus politics’. -
