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.

Mendelson-Maoz, From the margins to prime time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television 79 The politics of recognition and the medium of television Israel, among other countries, has been transformed, in the past two decades, from a 'melting-pot' policy and ideology towards a multicultural perception. -

Kering and the Festival De Cannes Will Present the 2017 Women in Motion Award to Isabelle Huppert the Young Talents Award Will Be Presented to Maysaloun Hamoud
Kering and the Festival de Cannes will present the 2017 Women in Motion Award to Isabelle Huppert The Young Talents Award will be presented to Maysaloun Hamoud International film icon Isabelle Huppert will receive the third Women in MotionAward presented by Kering and the Festival de Cannes. Isabelle Huppert has chosen director and scriptwriter Maysaloun Hamoud to receive the Young Talents Award. François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, Pierre Lescure, President of the Festival de Cannes, and Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate of the Festival of Cannes, will present these awards during the official Women in Motion dinner on Sunday, 21 May 2017. Credits: Brigitte Lacombe For the third Women in Motion programme, official partner Kering and the Festival de Cannes will present the Women in Motion Award to French actress Isabelle Huppert. Exceptionally free-spirited and bold, Isabelle Huppert has taken many artistic risks in her career, and whilst acting with leading names, she has successfully established her own style in a variety of registers ranging from drama to comedy. She has pushed back boundaries with the strong and far-from-stereotypical roles that she has played since the early days of her career. Whether being directed by legendary filmmakers or by a brilliant new generation of talented filmmakers, Isabelle Huppert is one of the most inspirational figures in the world of cinema. Isabelle Huppert has in turn chosen to honour Maysaloun Hamoud by awarding her the Young Talents prize. In 2016 this young Palestinian director and scriptwriter made her first feature film, In Between (Bar Bahar), which chronicles the daily lives of three young Palestinian women living in Tel Aviv, torn between family traditions and their desire for independence. -
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. -

Palestinian) Space: Sayed Kashua’S Chronotopic Approach in Let It Be Morning Sadia Agsous École Des Hautes Études En Sciences Sociales
Hegemonic (Israeli) Time and Minority (Palestinian) Space: Sayed Kashua’s Chronotopic Approach in Let It Be Morning Sadia Agsous École des hautes études en sciences sociales abstract: Sayed Kashua, a Palestinian writer in Israel who has published novels exclusively in Hebrew, was celebrated as a successful writer and journalist in the Hebrew literary field. If the author’s usage of Hebrew and his novels were examined from an Israeli and a Jewish perspective and from the prospects of minority speech acts, these critics did, however, situate his literature within the immediate political context, that of the impossible situation of Palestinians in Israel. This article reads his second from a different perspective and considers Kashua’s ,(ויהי בוקר) novel, Let It Be Morning literary strategy that consists in transforming a futuristic and allegorist perspective into a chronotope set between hegemonic (Israeli) time and minority (Palestinian) space. This novel highlights, between text and context, different visions of the future: a dystopian situation reflecting both a disastrous outcome of the Zionist wing call- ing for the transfer of the Palestinians and an internal conflict between Palestinians (fitnah); the utopian vision of the writer, who used his writing in Hebrew to create a hybrid space of negotiation with the Hebrew reader and therefore suggesting literature as a way to prevent dystopia. This article emphasizes a futuristic storytelling from its content to its form used by Kashua as a literary strategy to express the impossibility of a Palestinian voice, his voice, in Hebrew fiction. dibur literary journal Issue 6, Fall 2018 Visions of the Future 20 dibur a palestinian hybrid text, between a dystopian future and the utopia of the writer At long last, the Zionist dream is coming true. -

Art and Culture in Contemporary Israel
Art and Culture in Contemporary Israel Class code CORE-UA 9764 Instructor Details Aviv Livnat Prerequisites None Class Description The location of Israel at the geographic junction between the West and the East, between the Arab world and the Western world, against the background of the long historical complexity of this piece of land provides the context for the course Expressive Culture: Art and Culture in Contemporary Israel" which will offer a panoramic view of expressive cultures in modern Israel. This course will provide an introduction to Israeli culture and art by examining thematic crossroads and ideas, via problems and social conflicts which lie at the heart of those art works and are reflected by them. Themes to be addressed will include: religion and secularism, universalism/globalism versus localism, Jews and Arabs, Ashkenazic and Sephardic cultures, multiculturalism in Israel, Zionism and Post-Zionism, right and left political world views, questions of gender, historical perspectives on war and peace and the Holocaust. The students will explore the way different forms of art – visual, literary, and performance – reflect and shape the understanding of the "Israeli mosaic" while learning about the way the artists and writers internalize, consciously and unconsciously the complex Israeli reality. Towards this end, the course will incorporate an exclusive audiography, image bank and collection of video materials and will include excursions to cultural institutions and events in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Expressive culture is a way to embody, analyze and express culture through sensory experiences such as movements, sounds texts and images. The students will be invited to engage in processes, exposed to ideas and emotions, bound within the social production of aesthetic forms and performances in Israeli life and culture. -
