(Deleuze and Guattari 1986: 27) The study of Israeli cinema, which developed and crystallized from the late 1970s onward, has been concerned with initial mapping of the field by dividing around four hundred feature films produced in Israel from 1920 until the beginning of the 1990s into distinct periods and genres. The interpretation offered by the research focused on the manner in which Israeli film presented and reflected important topics, problems and conflicts that Israeli society was involved with. At the center of the researchers' attention was the films' ideological significance as well as ideological critique of the films. I refer to this methodology as the “symbolic-realistic" interpretation since it mainly deals with the subject matter and themes of films as a representation and reflection of reality (realism), while attributing symbolic, allegorical or ideological-national implications to the cinematic image. The research I present here begins with this approach and ends with a proposal and application of an alternative methodology for the analysis of Israeli film. I began the research I am presenting here with writing about the history and ideology of around fifty films concerned with the kibbutz, which were produced between 1930 and 2006. These include both films whose entire plot takes place in a kibbutz and films that incorporate a kibbutz character or scenes set in a kibbutz. I wished to examine these films as a separate and unique corpus in Israeli cinema and to consider the reappearance of new films about the kibbutz, in cycles of every few years. My writing was based on the schools of thought I specialized in at the Tel Aviv University Film Department: Semiotics, Structuralism, Post-structuralism, Psychoanalysis and mainly Post-colonialism, methodologies used by prominent Israeli scholars who established the study of Israeli film: Ella Shohat, Judd Ne'eman, Yigal Bursztyn, Nurith Gertz, Moshe Zimmerman, Miri Talmon, Yosefa Loshitzki, Orly Lubin and others. 2 Yet, during the writing of the research study several occurrences led me to another direction and opened a new horizon for me. In the course of my work as a lecturer I gave a class about the kibbutz in Israeli film, where I attempted to intertwine several issues evoked by Gilles Deleuze's philosophy, perhaps as a reaction to the sense of unease with the historical and ideological interpretation and with the focus on the politics of representation and position. In the academic milieu where I operate, I should mention, the kibbutz is considered a priori part of the hegemony, a pivotal pillar of Zionism. In the Israeli version of Post- colonialism the kibbutz is part of the ideological apparatus that repressed and excluded the "other" (the Oriental or the Arab, for instance). In such a climate, it is simply politically incorrect to be concerned with the kibbutz or with films about the kibbutz. I wished, at any rate, to follow the direction offered by Deleuze, that is to progress from the macropolitics to the micropolitics. This endeavor did not succeed, to put it mildly. I felt that Deleuze's writing and particularly his writing about film was probably more appropriate when discussing directors and films that are exceptional and non conventional in terms of style and filmic articulation. Directors such as Eisenstein, Vertov, Bresson, Godard, Antonioni, Rossellini, Hitchcock and many others mentioned in Deleuze's two books dedicated to film. In contrast, I believed that Israeli films are mostly dramas and comedies fashioned through a more conventional cinematic language. Their style usually preserves the flow of continuous space and time, and thus do not naturally allow a connection with Deleuze's writing about cinema. Indeed, colleagues from both my close and distant circles believed that this was a pretentious attempt. I should mention that the choice to use Deleuze's theories in the context of Israeli film is not a self evident one. While there are several researchers from the field of philosophy who are occupied with Deleuze, his ideas are not studied in Israeli film departments at all, and certainly not in relation to Israeli cinema. Whereas one might find a random use of this or the other Deleuzian term, a more comprehensive or deep connection between the theorist and Israeli film is virtually non-existent. One of the main reasons for this omission is the great 3 difficulty in detaching from the ideological issues characterizing the interpretation of national cinema. A reunion with my academic counsel, Professor Thomas Elsaesser, who arrived in Israel as a research associate for several months, enabled me to take up that new direction. Professor Elsaesser was willing to devote his time to watch some films, after which we conducted a few working sessions. He contributed two suggestions that gave my research a new momentum and path: He argued that it was possible, even necessary, to base my research on the dominant methodologies in the study of Israeli film, while still appropriate to try and distance myself from them. He also maintained that it was feasible to link the movies to Deleuze, and furthermore, that it was not imperative to use Deleuze's two books on film, in particular. Rather, it was up to me to discover which of Deleuze's (and Guattari's) numerous and diverse texts might be applicable and relevant to my study. An additional stimulus that reinforced my will to progress toward a new methodological horizon came from a less expected place. While I was in the process of writing this dissertation, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art opened an exhibition entitled "Communal Sleeping: The Group and the Kibbutz in Collective Israeli Consciousness".1 This exhibition featured 24 instillations of fine art, by artists who were born and raised in the kibbutz.

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • 1 Weiss, Gavriel (Gabi) Born November 10 1925 in Timishuara
    1 Weiss, Gavriel (Gabi) Born November 10 1925 in Timishuara, Rumania Made Aliya in 1941 Joined the Palyam in 1945 This is the Way it Was Timishuara was a city with a mixed population of three nationalities: Romanian, Hungarian and German. The Jews were about 10% of the population and the other three shared the rest. In March 1941 we came to Palestine and in September I began my studies in the Naval School, adjacent to the Technion in Haifa. I was then aged 16 years. I chose to specialize in naval engineering and in addition there were studies in sailing, radio operating and boat building. Joining Palyam Several months before the end of the course, several men came from the Palyam, among them Avraham Zakai, and convinced us that we should join the Palyam. There were 17 students in the class, but I was the only one from engineering to volunteer. It seems that from the professional point of view this was a mistake, but I did not regret it. This was an interesting and challenging experience, and above all, it gave me a feeling that I was fulfilling a role in the creation of the State of Israel. Training and Activity in Palestine Most of those in my class who volunteered were sent to Ein Hayam, a kibbutz near Atlit. Most of the time we worked at loading bags of salt onto trains. I had the luck to be chosen to help the chief mechanical engineer to repair the motor of a railroad engine. That was the only specific job in my area of training that I performed during the next three and one half years of service.
