  • From the Margins to Prime Time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television
    L. Steir-Livny / A. Mendelson-Maoz, From the margins to prime time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television 78 From the Margins to Prime Time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television The case of Sayed Kashua's "Arab Labour" Liat Steir-Livny1 | Adia Mendelson-Maoz2 Abstract Over recent decades, with the growing debate over multiculturalism in Israel, the representation of minorities in mass media has received new attention. The current research discusses the place of Israeli Arabs on Israeli television through the case- study of Arab Labour (In Hebrew, Avoda Aravit), a satirical sitcom written by Sayed Kashua (Channel 2, Keshet, 2007, 2010, 2012), which focuses on the shattered identity of Arab Israelis Our research shows that Arab Labour has triggered off changes in the way Arab Israelis are represented on Israeli television, in terms of their visibility on television, the quality of that visibility, and their interaction with the majority group. We examine a corpus of episodes dealing with three central themes: the Israeli identity card; attitudes to Jewish holidays and Jewish history; and the memory of the 1948 War versus the Nakba. Keywords: Sayed Kashua, Israeli television, 1948 War, the Nakba, Israeli identity, Arab-Israeli identity, Sitcom. 1 Dr. Liat Steir-Livny, The Open University & Sapir Academic College [email protected] 2 Dr. Adia Mendelson-Maoz.

One option would split the ward at Bronson Avenue, a second at Kent Street, and three others at O’Connor Street–despite the consul- tants saying that preserving “geographic communities of interest” was a prime consid- eration in the review.

  • Shaping Israeli-Arab Identity in Hebrew Words—The Case of Sayed Kashua
    Shaping Israeli-Arab Identity in Hebrew Words—The Case of Sayed Kashua Batya Shimony Israel Studies, Volume 18, Number 1, Spring 2013, pp. 146-169 (Article) Published by Indiana University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/is/summary/v018/18.1.shimony.html Access provided by The Ohio State University (7 Jan 2014 22:40 GMT) Batya Shimony Shaping Israeli-Arab Identity in Hebrew Words—The Case of Sayed Kashua ABSTRACT Most research and surveys that deal with the complex identity of the Arabs in Israel refer to the Arab, Palestinian, and Israeli components in their identity. Kashua adds the Jewish-Zionist component to the discussion and explores its dominance in shaping the identities of the Arabs in Israel. I use the term Jewish-Arab as a mirror image of the Arab-Jew in order to analyze the conflicted identity of Kashu’s Arab characters. The use of the identity of Arab-Jew by the third generation of Mizrahi writers functions as a chal- lenge to the hegemony of Zionist discourse. Kashua’s Herzl Disappears at Midnight (2005) and Second Person Singular (2008) create a realization of the term Jewish-Arab and take the situation of the conflicted identity to an extreme and provocative end, in order to emphasize the dead-end situation of Arabs in Israel. INTRODUCTION The identity crisis of the Arabs in Israel has been discussed in many studies.1 One of the main reasons for this crisis is that Israeli Arabs are simultaneously influenced by two significant identity factors—on the one hand, Palestinian society in the occupied territories, and on the other, Jewish society.

  • Questioning the SENIOR COHOUSING CHALLENGE: a Cross-Sector Analysis of Interviews with Leading Experts
    Questioning the SENIOR COHOUSING CHALLENGE: A Cross-Sector Analysis of Interviews with Leading Experts by Lynn Pfeffer A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architectural Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018 Lynn Pfeffer Abstract Seniors will make up an unprecedented 25% of Canadians by the year 2030. This demographic shift will challenge our society to address the basic human right of a dignified and healthy aging. One troubling aspect of aging is the degree to which seniors experience isolation and loneliness. Cohousing can offer older adults a place to age in place, within a ‘community-of-care’. However, the challenges of creating senior cohousing are numerous – the failure rates staggering. What factors contribute to this challenge? What could the way forward look like? This thesis searches for answers in the perspectives of professionals representing sectors of the development process. Interviews were conducted with experts in: non-profit housing, housing policy, development consulting, and private real-estate. Focusing on urban senior cohousing in Ottawa, Convivium Cohousing is used as a case study to ground the theory. It is expected findings will transfer to other parts of Canada. ii Acknowledgments With the deepest gratitude and respect, I thank my supervisor Federica Goffi for her unwavering support and encouragement. Your uncanny ability to know when to give feedback and when to listen is deeply appreciated. To all those who participated so generously and willingly in the interviews for this thesis, I am indebted to you for your insights and expertise.
